How to practice and grow comfort in the areas that scare us.

One of the greatest gifts of coaching is how this work can shift thinking from binary "either/or" thinking to "both/and" thinking.

Here’s something I don’t broadcast widely: I am a bit resistant to the title “coach.”

When faced with making a big change or trying something new, framing the endeavor as an experiment - as practicing - can be liberating.

Ritual allows us to look at what is scary or scared, hidden or hiding. Ritual helps us hold every milestone and moment with reverence.

We do coaching work together to acknowledge our complexity, our wholeness, and to make space for what wants to grow.

I am curious about what happens when we abandon the notion that in all the change and self-work we are doing we are aiming for perfection.

What if by tending to how we really are, we made space for what could be?

In coaching, a single question, uttered out loud, can lead to powerful places.
