You Need a Coach B*tch

I love self-help and have made a career where I get to spend all day thinking about how I can help others improve their lives. But there are some very real problems with believing that we are solely responsible for everything that happens to us in our lives. The self-help industry is a util-billion dollar machine that keeps us dependent on the next guru to show us the path to our best life. Tune i...

Does it irk you when you hear the phrase, circumstances are neutral?  You are not alone, and in this episode, I am unpacking what people misunderstand about this statement.

Do you believe you are not creative? Well, the truth is we all start out with deep and rich inner worlds of imagination. But we are taught to ignore that and think in more linear ways.

We all use labels to define ourselves and others. There can be great power in claiming specific labels as part of your identity. They can bring you a sense of belonging and community. They can give you a jumping-off point to help you understand yourself better. But they also have the ability to be reductive and stifling of creativity.   Join me as I talk through what my recent ADHD diagnosis has m...

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Deb Malkin as we discuss coaching through a Queer lens. Deb offers that Queerness, at its core,  is about questioning the paradigm.

Happy P...

We are back this week with Part Two of my healing crisis journey. In this episode, I update you on my jaw and discuss the impact it was having on my day-to-day life.

We abdicate responsibility for our lives and our dreams all the time.  There are things out of our control, but we aren't usually applying this level of release to those things. We often believe that things within our control are going to be decided by someone else.

As creatives, there is no dearth of inspiration and new ideas for us to pursue. And that can often lead to us feeling a bit untethered.
