Recently, as I was trotting up the first hill of my usual running route I thought, "I wish I was running on a flat road!" Then, almost immediately, the other side of my brain piped up with the retort, "You could have gone somewhere else!"

And was true. It was my unforced choice to be on this...

One of my recent goals is to let go of the need for validation.

Almost as soon as I set that goal, I was approached with two opportunities which match my skills and training, if not my current career path. Both were short term projects similar to things I’ve done in the past. I could...

I was so honored and touched by this interview with Evangeline Hemrick in which we talk about what led me to massage therapy and entrepreneurship.

Here's how Evangeline described me (swoon!): 
Felicia Brown bravely sets standards of excellence in the massage therapy community. She gave me my...

So happy to be on The Flock and Gather podcast with Allan Share of The Spa Industry Association. In it, I share a little about my choice to close my spa (again) due to COVID concerns in our area around Thanksgiving.

I am a control freak. Maybe not in all things, but in enough things that I evidently have a reputation.

For example, my husband, when asked if he would work for me (again) said, “You’re the boss of me everywhere else. You can’t be my boss at work too.” He means it in the...

My name is Felicia, and I play with rubber ducks.

I don't think there is a 12 Step program for rubber duck aficionados, though maybe there should be. It is a little scary to wax poetic about racing rubber ducks, especially with those who don't know me, but I am going to dive in and do...

To have success in business, I’ve found there are three key factors: Timing, audience and action.

In other words, the right offer has to reach the right people at the right time.

In the world of healing, people get better when the right provider brings the right treatment at the right...

I have been hard at work on completing my contribution to a book about healing and transformation. Thus I didn't think I had anything to write and was going to skip it for now.

But then I thought about something I learned while writing about the Impromptu Rubber Duck Regatta (IRDR) and how...

About seven years ago, around the time I changed my solo massage practice into one employing others, before I even named the business, I took one quite intentional step to bring attention to my growing enterprise: I painted our front door red. This was done both as a symbol of welcome...

Recently, my husband and I went to the mountains for a short visit to see my in-laws. We were also there to stage a very special Impromptu Rubber Duck Regatta - the Captain's Cup - through which the leader of The Dream Team would be decided. An important race to say the least!

It was our first...

Some would say your greatest gifts come to you through your tragedies - and I agree. Through my own life I've been given so many opportunities to experience pain - whether physical, emotional, mental, financial or otherwise.

At times I've felt sorry for myself and lost myself in a cloud of...

I've been so fortunate to be a regular speaker for the Guilford Merchant's Association. If you've been stuck in a rut, spinning your wheels, or unable to move forward in your business, you are not alone. Check out this free presentation to learn some of my ideas on how to move beyond...
