46. Defense is the first act of war

Think of the last time you felt defensive, or watch this week for feelings of defensiveness pop up. What is going on for you? Is there some truth behind what is being said? Have you been attempting to hide from this truth? How will it bless you, and maybe even your other relationships if you open up and let light in?

43. Going Through Something

Book a coaching session with me: HERE There is a Buddhist story that I read in the book Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach about the Buddha and a demon whose purpose is to spark fear and distraction into the lives of the people. He, of course, shows up often and powerfully to try to spiritually harm the Buddha. But the Buddha, being the Buddha, fully enlightened, fully at peace, full of the kingdom of God within his heart and soul, approaches the demon when it approaches and says: “Hello, I see yo...

41. Imperfectly Perfect

Book a coaching session with me: HERE Years ago, before I found life coaching, I was a crossfit coach. Totally different worlds of coaching. But I was still me in both scenes. At the first gym I coached for, one of the gym owners wasn’t too thrilled to have me on the team. And I felt pretty insecure. I like to be liked (who doesn’t). But ultimately, I wanted the outside validation that I was a good coach, because I really put my heart into my classes. After a couple years, my family moved to Ark...

40. Drop the rules and have fun

Book a coaching session with me: HERE My brain was screaming at me: You don’t have to make this harder for yourself! You can do it your way! Your way works for you! And the way that works for you today doesn’t have to be the way that you do it next time or every time. .... You just never know where you’re at and what is going to be the outcome. All you can control is yourself and pushing the best that you can in the best way that you can. Make it fun for you. Make sure you can breathe through it...

39. Using Anger for Good

Book a coaching session with me: HERE Anger may be the emotion we see... But often under anger are more vulnerable emotions such as fear, vulnerability, embarrassment, rejection, guilt, shame, disappointment and many others. Those kinds of emotions, the ones that lie under dark water, deep within the iceberg, are all emotions that make us feel disempowered or out of control. But the truth is, that is actually a false message that we’ve been conditioned to think. By pushing away the true feeling,...

38. Shift your Focus

Book a coaching session with me: calendly.com Where I live, there are several mink farms nearby. Now, I wouldn’t say I’m overly sensitive to foul smells. And I kind of even like the smell of regular farms. Farm smell brings up nostalgia and child-like joy. But mink farm smell, that’s something completely different. I can’t explain it other than, just trust me, it’s an awful rotten smell. Especially when you’re exactly downwind of the mink farm. Luckily, I don’t actually live downwind from the mi...

37. Optimistic in Opposition

Book a coaching session with me: here We need opposition in all things. It’s part of the great plan of happiness. Because ironically, if we were fortunate all the time, we wouldn’t really be happy. I find it interesting that opposition often has this negative connotation. It’s an interesting perspective, if something opposes me and what I want, then it must be bad. But opposition isn’t bad. It’s neutral. It’s just the opposite. This topic has been particularly on my mind this week as my daughter...

36. Grumpy is optional

Book a coaching session with me: calendly.com “I’m tired and grumpy” It’s a common phrase I say, and a common phrase I hear from my kids (I wonder where they got it) Lately, I’ve been feeling extra grateful for my children, my husband, my home, my life. Must be all that meditation and consciously working on being in the present paying off. Today, I took my kids to the waterpark, and it’s a long ways away from our house, and I’ve created a routine that when we go to the waterpark we also go to my...

35. To See or Not to See

Book a coaching session with me: calendly.com There is a story from the book Stories of the spirit that goes like this: A family went out to eat at a restaurant. The waitress came to take their order. The father and mother ordered their food then the little girl piped up and said “I’ll have a hot dog, fries and a coke” the father quickly interjected saying “oh no you won’t, she’ll have meatloaf, potatoes and milk”. The waitress looked at the little girl and asked “what would you like on your hot...

34. Finding Your Purpose

Why is purpose so important? In the early 1900’s, Dr. Sigmund Freud argued man’s primary motivation was the desire for pleasure. He created all sorts of theories around this that unfortunately are still studied and practiced to this day, and while feeling pleasure, or more accurately, JOY is definitely important, it is not the primary motivation for life , and when pleasure is the center focus of your life, then we’re actually driven more toward addictions and depression. On the other hand, Dr. ...

33. crawling back

It’s been a while. And I have plenty of excuses for why I haven’t been publishing regularly. I think the fluffiest way to put it is, I’ve been in a funk, the kind that is less than depression but more than a bad day. But ultimately, the reason I haven’t been publishing isn’t as important as the fact that I’m back here today. And I’d actually like to extend that thought to you, if you have felt like you’re stuck in a funk, or a walking depression of sorts, or just haven’t been showing up as the s...

2.15 We're Complicated

We're complicated beings, with a range of emotions, that are all necessary for our progression and humanness. We can't grow up if we're not willing to sink down. "We are all worthy of both pain, and delight. I believe that wonderful things can happen when we can embrace a duality of emotions, and I say duality, but I think it’s often more like a multiplicity of feelings, emotions and thoughts."

Our bodies are pretty amazing, and they go through a whole lot. And we can be pretty mean and impatient with our bodies. But how could your life change if you changed your perspective about your body WITHOUT changing it?
