What if some seasons of our life are about discovering who we are while other seasons are about remembering who we are? Seasons of discovery move us towards something new; seasons of remembering move us towards something familiar. 

What does it take to grow our capacity to be with uncertainty and discomfort? How do we meet every moment with more awareness and ability to face our feelings?

Maybe we, collectively, are growing our capacity to acknowledge we can transition from one year to the next however we want. Maybe the culture is getting better at a core part of Co-Active coaching: facing what is present with curiosity and tenderness instead of tough love.

What brings you aliveness? What do you love fiercely? Find your magic and the people who empower it. We need each other.

The longer I coach, the more I find myself conflicted about supporting clients in quickly moving from an “old” narrative to a “new” narrative. Is this…too tidy? Is this antithetical to living in a chaotic, ever-changing, incredibly mysterious world?

Coaching is also a unique, client-specific, client-driven space. Yet is there anything I hold true for all my clients? Do I hold some universal yet unsaid hopes for how coaching influences the humans I work with?

People say “comparison is the thief of joy.” But what if the thief can also give us clarity, perspective, and deeper understanding of our desires?

Great change might simply be dormant. We have the power to inspire it into germination.

What other framings are available to us in the moments when we are questioning if we are allowed to change again? What wisdom do we call on when we find ourselves questioning if there is a limit to how much change we are allowed in our lifetime?

I'm curious about the expansion that occurs when we focus on what doesn't need to be fixed. What happens if we start with the exploration of what is working?

The cat is dying and I am awash in sentimentality and gratitude for the lives I’ve walked away from. 

What would it mean to romance ourselves? On prioritizing the relationship we have with our beloved self.
