Are you still a space, role, or relationship that you have outgrown or are ready to graduate from?

Coaching teaches you to enjoy the here while intentionally and deliberately pointing yourself towards an aligned there.

You learn that your ability to enjoy the here is what will enable you to enjoy being there when you get there.

Watering your grass looks like acceptance and acknowledgment life as it is.

It looks like allowing imperfection and humanity

It looks like opting out of catastrophizing, resisting reality, negativity bias, people pleasing and perfectionism.

What you practice grows. What you pay attention to is your life.

What if you focused your attention on when people show you love and how they show you love.

Your morning coffee just might be a cup of love.

Another perfect response when someone asks you to do something when your plate is already full or overfull. No one wants to push you further over-capacity.

Capacity is a calm, grounded and non-judgmental word.

When we make changes without cleaning up our sh*t, we usually continue to have many of the same struggles and challenges we had before- just in a different place or with a different person.

How we describe things changes how we feel and how much we struggle.

Riding the waves is way more fun and light than rolling with the punches.

Learning how to do this no matter the situation is the gift of mindful coaching.

Coaching offers agency, empowerment, grace, and self-compassion —no matter what your personal “it” is.

I have learned to let go of the grasping and need to reach the end result of my goals and appreciate the small victories that I make along the way.”

What if you stopped worrying that being present, satisfied, and content with where you are might lead to complacency or laziness?

It means setting an intention to fully enjoy your days.

It means you are present in the moment, noticing how you are feeling, pausing, and acting with mindful intention.

It means making simple, small choices to make each day feel and be the best that it can be for you.

It’s possible to live more easefully, feeling passionate, engaged, and connected. It's possible to feel more at peace and connected. How? Manage your mind.

From a place of love, I used to worry and try to fix and control as much as I could. My doctor-mom fix-it tendencies were well-honed over years of medical training. They also dated back to my childhood- when I was the “responsible” one.

In coaching, I encourage clients to think of things they did well and/or are proud of as a daily practice.

Practice being kind to yourself. What you practice grows.

You do not need a new system to be more productive and efficient. You need rest and recovery, mindfulness and noticing, self-compassion, and kindness. These are the most effective, impactful, and under-utilized time management and productivity tools I know of.

Figuring out that my husband was neurodivergent after 22 years of marriage allowed us both to function much better.  

Understanding that we were in a neurodiverse relationship helped us get to celebrate 30 years of marriage.  The “not knowing” and not understanding our differences caused a lot of hurt, and confusion, and added an extra challenge to an already challenging situation. Knowing about our neurodiversity, led me to grow in ways I didn't know I needed or wanted to.  And that growth has been life-changing for me.
