Rising Sun Coaching & Consulting

Communication is a 2-way street. We’ve all heard that saying, but what does it really mean?

Many of us struggle with finding the balance between owning too much or not enough of the accountability when we need to deliver a difficult message.

Where does that accountability really lie?

We cannot make anyone feel any way without their permission, however, does this mean we are exempt from any consequences on how the message is delivered?

One of the key elements of navigating difficult conversations is remembering that managing how a person receives the message is their job, managing how I deliver it is mine.

Now and then...



It’s honestly so crazy how much time has passed and how much has changed.

Back then we used to do a lot of partying, drinking, dancing, and just generally getting into trouble.

Now we go for walks and talk about coaching, podcasts, spirituality, vulnerability, accountability, and how we’re going to change the world.

I love our friendship and I love that no matter what comes our way and how much time passes between calls and visits we are always connected. Our growth and healing journeys have evolved side by side and I couldn’t be more grateful.

All because we each choose to love and nurture each other and our friendship every day...however that looks.

Find your people!! Walk beside them on their journey and cheer them on. Allow each other to grow. Love fiercely.

We took a brief hiatus from recording this week, so I thought I’d take a moment to encourage you to listen to a podcast we recorded about a month ago.

Charles and Elaine Sanger were kind enough to come on our podcast and talk with us about a variety of important topics.

Charles and Elaine are passionate about helping aspiring authors become accomplished authors.

I enjoyed this interview immensely and learned so much from what they shared with us during our conversation. Their life experiences and business journeys were fascinating and I still refer back to the perspectives they shared on the podcast. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

I’m not sure if you know this but and I have a podcast.
This week is our 20th episode, I have no idea how that happened but here we are.

My very favourite episodes are the ones where we get to interview other entrepreneurs. Hearing people’s stories, insights, life lessons, and perspectives is so inspiring.

Every time we sit down with a new guest it reignites my passion for EVERYTHING. And every time we do a new interview I think “this is my FAVOURITE episode”. This week is no exception.

We had the pleasure of speaking with and wow! She’s pretty amazing and I fell in love with her passion for what she does.

I have a couple of coaching spots available today and tomorrow.
In case you're wondering what coaching is, this is how I describe it on my website.

Lots of people ask me what coaching is. How is it different from therapy? Unlike therapy which focuses on how past experiences influence your behaviours and thought patterns, coaching focuses on what’s happening in your life now.

Coaching is based on the concept that we already have the innate knowledge and skill to achieve our goals.

During coaching sessions, clients are encouraged to discuss areas of their lives in which they wish to see growth or may feel stuck. Through intuitive questioning, clients are able to understand and navigate roadblocks and develop strategies to reach their potential.

​Many coaches specialize in a specific area, relationship, career, health, etc. However, as coaching can be a deeply personal process, no matter which aspect of your life you are focusing on, results can be seen in all areas of our lives.

I'm over the moon excited to finally announce this workshop!
I've been contemplating the concept of gratitude for a little over a year now. What it means, how it feels, and how it can sometimes show up as shame. Join Tanya West and me as we explore the positives and negatives of an attitude of gratitude.

Overcommitting is a bad habit that many of us fall into. Whether we agree to too much or feel that being idle is a decadence we can't afford; whether we fear others will see us as lazy or we ourselves fear that we are (I'm guilty on all counts). Time is a precious gift and we need to remember to save some of that gift for ourselves. Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with all the tasks you take on everyday? Responsibilities and commitments are a part of life, don't forget to take time to make and honour commitments to yourself. The time you spend being still and present is an investment in yourself and your growth. Sitting in stillness and curiosity makes the journey less chaotic and more enjoyable.

Shifting perspective doesn't always have to be hard work-this was my classroom yesterday. This past week has been full of opportunities for me to learn that there are always things in life we can't predict or control, if we aren't able to accept that, life can feel like it's harder than it is. Spending time on the river yesterday reminded me that in life there are times when we may need to paddle to avoid getting stuck, there are times when we can't avoid the big rocks and things will get uncomfortable, and there will be times when the water is calm and we have smooth sailing. Everything is so much more enjoyable when you can accept it all as part of the experience. Learning to be present in every moment takes work, sometimes work can feel like a treat!
