I know I need to make some changes in my life, but I don’t know where to start…

How do you know if you need a Life Coach?

You have the desire for things to be different. You know you SHOULD eat better, exercise more, save money, or curb your drinking, but you don’t.

Instead you will eat out of convenience, skip the gym because you’re tired, spend money you don’t have on s**t you don’t need, and reward yourself with ā€œjust oneā€ after a rough day.

You ultimately KNOW you shouldn’t do those things but in the reality of the moment your brain offered up a few ā€œvalidā€ excuses as to why you should keep doing what you’ve always done and it felt easier than doing things differently.

ā€œI don’t have time to make dinnerā€

ā€œI’m tired, I worked hard today, I’ll go to the gym tomorrowā€

ā€œI’ll only have oneā€

ā€œI’ll pay it off next monthā€

Your primitive brain just won.

Being able to override the brain’s excuses and follow through with doing the harder thing is not easy to do. It requires you to get honest and uncomfortable.

Honest about what’s not working well and what you have to do to change it.

Working with a coach will help you recognize and reframe the thoughts that turn into excuses. They can help you see past the next step to the finish line. They will support, encourage, and help you get motivated to make the necessary changes.

They won’t let you hide from the truth. Working with a coach can help you make lasting changes in any area of your life. You just have to be willing to get honest and uncomfortable (in a good way).

Are you looking for change and ready to invest in yourself?

Do you have one hour a week for 8 weeks to dedicate to you?

Would you like the opportunity to work alongside someone to help support you?

If you silently answered yes, yes, yes then I want to invite you to sign up for a free 6 week life coaching experience.

This experience will consist of one initial consult call (to get to know each other), followed by 6 weekly focused coaching sessions, and wraps up with an exit call.

This experience is ideal for someone who:

✨ wants to change or adopt new lifestyle habits - adding in support and accountability could be a game changer

✨ wants to manage their social anxiety - learn tools and techniques to tame the downward spiral thinking

✨ is experiencing midlife overwhelm or transitions - aging parents, empty nest, job changes, relocation, or health issues

✨ wants to improve their time management skills - get down to what really matters and make time for it

✨ wants to avoid burnout - learn to set and uphold boundaries for yourself and others

✨ wants to stop people pleasing - learn to say no without feeling guilty

✨ wants to achieve a new goal - start taking aligned action and overcoming obstacles

✨ who wants to do a personal development deep dive and doesn’t know where to start

✨ wants to do it just for the experience - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain

I have a few spots available for this opportunity. If you’re interested or would like more information comment the word CONSULT or send me a DM and let’s get connected.

If not now then when?

It’s never too late to mend fences or build new bridges.

I’m not talking about your yard work, I’m talking about your relationships.

They require equal amounts of effort - one physical and one emotional.

I physically have never built a bridge, I have however, assembled a fence using cinder blocks and 2x4s - LOTS of them. It took work, carrying, lifting, supporting, and planning. It also took effort and desire.

Emotionally our relationships require work as well. It’s not cinder blocks and 2x4s, but it’s our family, our friends, our colleagues, and our communities. It’s the relationships we care deeply about that we carry, support, and lift. It also takes planning, effort, and desire to mend a broken relationship or build a new bridge connecting you to new communities.

Over the years I have mended a few relationships and built bridges that connected me to new family, friends, and communities. One thing that I’ve noticed during those emotional moments was the amount of courage it takes.

It doesn’t take courage to physically mend fences or build bridges, but it does take courage to mend or build relationships.

Every time I’ve courageously taken action physically and emotionally I’ve never regretted it.

It’s never too late to mend fences or build new bridges.

Never have I ever…until last night.

Went to my first crossfit workout. It was a fun and challenging experience. I didn’t know anyone and didn’t know what to expect (I’m more of a home workout girl).

But lately I have been leaning into the idea of saying ā€œyesā€ more often. Opening up to the possibilities and experiences that cross my path. Trying new things and challenging myself to get uncomfortable.

Intentionally getting uncomfortable.

So far my experiences been hard, exhausting, and fun. Along the way I’ve met new people, overcome obstacles, pushed myself harder than I normally would, and enjoyed all the discomfort that came with it.

It wasn’t easy, but the satisfaction of the accomplishments and the joy found in other experiences are more than worth it.

Can’t wait to see what opportunity presents itself next…

I used to dream about how I’d spend my time when I no longer had to work a Sunday shift.

During the restaurant years there were always Sunday brunches to work. While working in physical therapy, I did weekend work for extra cash- again mostly on Sundays.

I remember writing out my post-it note of future Sundays while waiting for clients to show up at my last job.

My Sundays may not look exactly like my dreams do on the paper, but the freedom is there.

That note serves as a reminder of the activities I need to make time and space for. Maybe not always on Sundays, but someday during life.

To remind myself to take at least one day a week off. One whole day to do whatever I wanted.

So I don’t forget that some dreams are worth the pursuit.

What are your Sundays for?

It usually takes me a little while to get back into a groove after time away.

Like I have to reassess everything in my life and moving forward feels slow, but more intentional.

I think it has to do with requiring so little to live while traveling and then coming back and being surrounded by possessions and unfinished projects.

Makes me ponder what it takes to make a beautiful life?

The answers are endless and as individual as the person asking the question.

Next time you sit down with your calendar or to-do list, maybe ask yourself what it would take to make your life beautiful today?

You never know when you will have a last moment with a loved one.

Hug your people a little harder and tell them you love them every chance you get.

I will, for sure, not be taking the extra time I get with my dad for granted.

I feel beyond blessed and knew I was being called up here for multiple reasons.

Last week I was sadly reminded of how short and precious our life here on Earth is.

A woman I had known a long time ago lost her battle with cancer. We hadn’t been close in over 30 years, but hearing of her passing still broke my heart. We were, at one time, the best of friends.

Moments like this always make me contemplate life and death.

Suddenly the trivial things seem even smaller and the big question of ā€œwhat is all this aboutā€ begin running tracks in my mind.

It makes my own mortality seem tangible and at the same time it makes being alive feel like a blessing.

I’m learning that life is not something to be rushed. I used to have a sense of urgency regarding my time. Always felt like I had to hurry to the ā€œnext thingā€ whatever that may have been.

Lately I’ve allowed myself to sit out back and listen to the birds singing. I’ve allowed myself to spend more time reading. I’ve allowed myself to engage in conversations a little longer.

I’ve been working on being present over perfect.

Let’s not rush through life anymore. Let’s be kinder to ourselves and towards each other. Let’s create more memories and experiences. Let’s enjoy the simple little pleasure of life and savor the big moments when they happen.

Let’s remember those who are gone, not with sadness and regret but lovingly with the knowledge that they are merely on a grand new adventure. One we will all get to experience at some point.

Until then…let’s live our best life possible.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of running one of my favorite races.

It was my 7th time running the Gate River Run. And it did not disappoint.

Let me remind you that I am not a dedicated runner. I decided to sign up 4 weeks before the event. Prior to making that decision the last time I ran was in Nov ā€˜25. After 3 days of ā€œtrainingā€, I got sick. Not the stomach bug kind, but the congestion respiratory kind and it took me out for a week. After that I was able to manage 5 more ā€œtrainingā€ runs before the race.

I went into this race with very low expectations. Usually my main goal is to beat whatever time I had before. Well I knew that wasn’t going to happen. There was construction going on downtown and parking was expected to be a problem. The bathroom lines are always a problem.

I’m not gonna lie, there were moments where I thought I might just skip it. My excuses kept circling around my head.

Until I decided that the whole event was going to be fun.
I decided I was going to have a good run.
I decided that parking wasn’t going to be an issue.
I decided that there would be plenty of bathrooms and time available.

I decided and then I didn’t sway from my decision.
No more mind drama.
No more excuses swirling in my head.
No more unrealistic expectations.

It was simply going to be a great run. And it was.

So often we create drama in our lives when we could be creating fun times.

The sooner you catch yourself in a downward spiral of mind drama, the sooner you can decide to create a different outcome. A better reality and a better life.

YOU can do hard things too.

Your brain is a liar.

It will at some point (more often than not) offer up a thought that simply is not true.
It will want to make you believe it’s true and will provide other ā€œrationalā€ thoughts to support its lie. Those thoughts, also, are not true.

Your brain isn’t trying to be mean, it’s job is to protect you. It really doesn’t know any better.

Your job is to be consciously aware that your brain is trying to trick you and to decide not to engage in or believe the first thought it offers up.

This is part of ā€œthe workā€ of personal development. Allowing your brain to do its job and then deciding that it has made an error. A thought error.

Your job is to decide to think and believe something different from the thought error your brain has offered to you.

The best part of all this is, you get to create a new thought. One that supports you and serves your highest good.

You are the one in control. Not that little lying brain of yours.
