When Homes Sell Too Fast
PING! Text message comes in. "Can you look at a listing I have in Wallingford, before this weekend? It's needs an energy clearing." PING! Next text: "This is Dave Marks, by the way." Me: "Sure! how about (blahdey blahdey) day and time?" Three texts later: We were all...
Want more energy? Here’s what NOT to do.
“How do you keep yourself from getting drained?” Hands down, this is the #1 question I get asked when people hear what I do for a living. And I used to give really elaborate answers. Answers that would make the person asking the question about getting drained, look...
Going through your stuff matters. Here’s why.
I just finished a big project working with a client who is getting ready to sell her home. She needed help going through her stuff so the home could be staged. My client, Joanna, really likes stuff. She just does. Some people do. A lot of people do. It’s comforting...
When your client shows up…with her crystal ball.
A few weeks ago, I had a new client who came to see me at the wee cottage and it was amazeballs. And I mean that literally. A client came to me...with her crystal ball! She refers to herself as a 'third generation intuitive' and had inherited the ball. It was deemed...

“I love your new website! Way to go, Nic!”: a happy text from one of my best buddies on the day I launched the forever-in-my imagination website. I smile. I give myself a little pat on the back and a mental high five. “Badass”, I tell myself. So happy I finally...
Does Your Office Need a Seshie?
Back when I was single and living in the house of WOE (more on that another time) my roommate Lola, who had just started working at a new job, asked me if I would clear her office. It doesn’t feel right, she said. I don’t really want to be in there, she said. I can’t...
The truth about energy vampires (the good news, the bad news)
I’m sitting on one end of my client’s couch and she’s at the other, but she seems a million miles away, lost in thought. Finally, she hurls the question at me that she’s been cranking on for a solid 10 minutes: Her: “Nicole, what can I do to protect myself from ENERGY...
The hot tip to lightening up that nobody talks about
When I was five, my mom divorced my dad: a painful and common experience. She left my father for another guy. We drove away in a big U-haul waving goodbye while my dad stood alone in the driveway. While my memory can be pretty crap about a lot of things, there is no...
