Interconnected

Well this was weird. Mostly because I thought I’d never be here saying this… but also because I’m at peace with it.   8.5 years ago…    I quit a full time job in an industry that I didn’t feel connected to whatsoever.   For that first year post-corporate, I worked at a gym as a personal trainer.   I’ve been self-employed in the 7.5 years since.   For those who have done it, or are doing it, you kn...

This is the type of story that normally I would only share with my wife and close friends. But part of my new direction is sharing with YOU as if you are my friend. Because really… you and I already are, or probably would be, friends. So here we are. :) This story will be particularly pertinent if you are: 👉🏻 going through something challenging 👉🏻 going through a big transition 👉🏻 being aske...

The winds of change are here. I've felt them for the better part of this calendar year and now I'm in the midst of it. I've never had more clarity... while also being quite confused. :) In my 33 years, I've learned that times like these are often deeply meaningful. And I can feel it. I know that I'm being blown in the right direction. Because I feel like me. I feel connected to me. I feel connecte...

My takeaways from our conversation: Many of us coaches start in fitness; we know we want to help people so it’s a logical starting point. Us big-hearted givers have to be wary of our desire to help & fix. It often comes from a good place… but it is also often rooted in ego & shadow (and is therefore more for us than the other person.) Your trauma, your shadow, & your gift are often intertwined. Ta...

My takeaways: When you are a high-achiever, you’re prone to going down the rabbit hole of things that aren’t right for you/that you aren’t meant to do because you’ve found identity and worthiness in your ability to do things well. “Just because you’re good at something, doesn’t mean you should do it.” You can’t become more of yourself - who you’re meant to be - without suffering. “Suffering is act...

My takeaways: You only know what you know + your environment shapes your experience.. “Where I’m from, you got no girls if you weren’t fresh in shoes or clothes. ‘Successful’ people in my community were the ones selling drugs.” Your past is part of you, but it doesn’t decide who you are - you always have the choice of who you want to be & how you want to move forwards. “I took back my pen. I decid...

We talk about: Creating success in life and checking off the major boxes… but not being happy or fulfilled. “I began to ask myself, ‘Is this it?’” The impact of being alone in the hospital - with no one, nothing, and only the blue garment.       Having a gut feeling that, “I was meant for more.” but not having the courage to take any real action on that. The need for certainty and making decisions...

We talk about: Losing so much - Dad, a serious boyfriend, friends, and a job… ...only to find & create the life of her dreams. Working a job that you hate and that you know isn't it for you. “This definitely isn’t the answer, so let me go try something else.” “If you want something bad enough - or don’t want something bad enough - you are probably willing to work 2-3 other jobs.” Getting out of th...

We talk about: Bringing the humanity back to the corporate workplace. (When was the last time you took a mental health day… and felt okay about it?)
