Your Regular Dose of Soul

I created Living ROI as a passion, to share my experiences and support others who want to live more authentic, joyful and fulfilling lives. In these blog posts I share my own personal journey in work and life.

what people are saying…

“Barbara curates a wealth of knowledge and brings it together in a simple framework so I can focus on my practice – get to my planning – once a week. Taking time for myself but also being efficient are super important to me and I’m able to do both with Living ROI.”

Jo, Business Owner, Mother of Two

“The constancy of coming back to my goals in the Living ROI Journal each week serves as a tuning fork for how I plan the week ahead. I am able to focus more on the things that really matter to me – and that is life changing.”

Jennifer, Entrepreneur, Mother

“Knowing how to plan or just thinking about time in a structured way allows my friends and me to get things done. When I was in college, we had a list of fun things we wanted to do, but it wasn’t until we made a plan that we were able to actually experience those things. It was just so cool – getting those “someday” items actually done!”

Emerald Smith, Recent College Grad, Daughter of Barbara Fagan

Soul Goals – February 23, 2020

By LivingROI | Blog | 0 Comments

One of my goals for 2020 is to visit every one of the 87 State Parks in California. This goal gets me out into nature, seeing places I’ve never seen and on solo adventures as well as with family and friends! All activities I love. I call this a soul goal because its primary aim is to feed my soul.

Sacred Sorrow – February 16, 2020

By LivingROI | Blog | 0 Comments

I was witness to and a participant in a poignant celebration of life and mourning of death yesterday. I was struck by the power of raw emotion. By the collective expression of deep sorrow. Exposed nerves. Humanity unfiltered.
