I recently asked my coaching clients for feedback, and one of the #1 things I heard was that they love my energy! At first, I thought, "Dang. I can't teach you that."

My energy is based on the beliefs I walk around with - and they determine how I show up in the world. 2 of the things that are integral to my coaching process are holding space really well and asking powerful questions. In this episode, I dive into what that actually means and what that looks ...

Today's episode of the podcast is an important one. I sat down with my friend, Yoga Teacher and Death Doula, Brie Huling to talk about death and how it can actually be quite beautiful. I tell her, as we're chatting, "when I think of you, I fondly think of death" - and I meant it! There's a lot about death in mainstream culture that gets in our way. First and foremost, the taboo around even talking about it. So, I'd encourage you to suspend whatever thoughts and feelings you might be having right...

This conversation with Dr. Sherry Price was a unique one - on a topic I think many of us don't consider or discuss all that often. Sherry's approach to her relationship with alcohol and helping folks with overdrinking is refreshing. In this episode, she shares her personal story, some statistics, and tangible tools to make manageable, meaningful shifts . The thing I love about Sherry is that she lets you decide what "overdrinking" means for you and attaches no guilt or shame to the process. A gr...

Today, on the podcast, we're talking about sensitive leadership and the future of work with Dr. Ciela Hartanov. We have the opportunity, right now, to move out of the Industrial era logic around work and reclaim, or invite back in, some of our humanity.

BUT, we also know that employees and people on our teams are asking for something else - and will seek to find it. In this conversatio...

Ultimately, we grapple with the question: "In a world where we don't human people, what good is anything el...

Today, on the podcast, we have Spiritual Guide and Coach, Sarah Trapkus who talks to us about embodiment - "existing and experiencing life through your physical being." This episode serves as a reminder to take it below the neck, to notice what's coming up for you or what's here IN your body right now.

What is the problem you are solving right now ? What is the result you're creating right now ? What is the thing you are making the priority right now , on purpose?

We can do all the learning and accumulate all the things, and convince ourselves that we need to take ALL the action at once. The "hustle shuffle" is always available. It is here for you. It is consistent. And, you are welcome to have it. The pro...

"If I think I am my brain, then I am a victim to it all the time." Next Level Thinking has really shown up as a thing in coaching and in the online space these last couple of years. In one of my small groups, we had a really interesting conversation about it recently. Questions that came up were: "How do I know what next level thinking is? Am I there now/Is this it? Who decides what next level thinking is?" And, I think there's two sides to it: 1). The really useful side where we go inward and r...

What comes easy or naturally to you? We so often make ourselves wrong for having the strengths that we have. In a world where many people are overtired and don't have the energy they want, we need to STOP doing this.

Notice the things that come easily to you and figure out how to do them MOST of the time. 3). Abandon the notion that...

"The thing wasn't the thing at all. The process was EVERYTHING." When you've been in business a long time, you try a lot of things. You fail at a lot of things. And, you succeed at a lot of things as well. Earlier on in my career, I wrote a book. I hustled and did all this stuff that nearly killed me to get it out in the world. But, I did it. I figured it out and I pulled it off. It was a best-seller in its category. Last year, I felt it tugging at me to put it to bed. It no longer felt like me ...
