What if the way others are doing it, isn’t the best way for you?

What if the thing bothering you doesn’t have to change for you to feel better?

What if it or they is offering exactly what you “need” in this moment.

As adults we also do this. We look for others to “clap for us in life” to validate that we did enough or a “good job.” The clapping just looks different and is usually less joyous.

Holidays, especially when spent with young adults, first grandchildren and newly blended families from different cultures are the epitome of “complicated dynamics.”

Embracing the season you are in is commiting to living in alignment and a choice to not resist reality or swim against the current.

Doors do not close because we have fallen short or made a mistake. Very often they close because something within us declares unmistakably that we are destined and ready for something else.

Approving of yourself, as you are, costs nothing and offers incredible value.

It is not a pass, it's gifting yourself energy, momentum, positivity, and hope.

Busy keeps us from being present. It keeps us distracted from the discomfort. Being chronically busy doesn’t feel good in the long run.

What if you were patient, trusting, self-assured, hopeful, self-compassionate, and curious.

Coaching helps you navigate uncertainty, unexpected outcomes, our broken medical system, and unreasonable performance expectations, with grace, compassion, and strategy.

The key to transitioning well is to believe that the one you become will catch you.

An elegant leader doesn’t people please. They model self compassion.

There were no checklists or steps to success. There was bravery, courage and fear. There was trust. Trust that I could figure it out.

Connecting with our intentions is what keeps us out of autopilot.

They help us be deliberate.

And connect to our why.

What does “caring for the long haul “look like?

It looks like managing your energy well.

Not resisting reality. Staying out of urgency, negativity, and catastrophizing.
