Your Coach KW

Live your life. Play by your own rules.

Happy International Women's Day to all the inspiring women I call friends 💜

This quote captures so many of my thoughts around 'playing by your own rules'.

We're not here to make sure others are happy.

Stop shrinking to fit into places you've outgrown.

It's time to speak up and be heard.

Are you ready?

Who's with me?

My view for the next week 🌴

Ok, real talk for a minute.

Everyone's life is a hot mess from time to time.

Even, and especially, the people who are there to support.

I've been there (and am still there some days). I can relate.

What's something that you've been through that you just *know* would help someone else if you shared it? Drop it below 👇

We're about to be inundated with messages about how we can "finish this year strong." Or how we can "be our best in the new year."

'New Year, new you' and other platitudes 🤔

How about we do what works for us.

If setting goals works for you. Do it.

If easing into the new year with no big plans works for you. Do it.

Don't let society dictate.

Play by your own rules.

How often do you say "maybe" to a request when you really want to say no?

You say maybe, all the while coming up with excuses in your head that you can provide to get out of it.

Or, you do the thing, being resentful of the persons request of your time.

Next time you want to say "maybe," hit pause for a minute to see if it's really a NO.

Prioritize your time. Prioritize your energy. Prioritize yourself.

Okay, show of hands ✋️

How many times have you done what you think you're "supposed" to do versus what you know deep down is the right thing to do for you.

Here's an example: I took on a project that I *knew* deep down wasn't a good idea. But I did it anyway.

Why?

Because society would lead me to believe that I was supposed to.

👉You're supposed to say yes.

👉You're supposed to do what's expected.

👉You're supposed to work hard (in order to make other people's lives easier).

My God, what a load of garbage.

Have you ever found yourself falling into this trap? Because make no mistake, that's exactly what it is.

I'd love to know 👇

Thanks for the laughs,

I just registered for the "Playing Big Facilitators Training" with

Tara's book "Playing Big" is one I've read more than once and one that lives on my bookshelf. I've taken inspired action as a result of what she teaches in that book, and I can't wait for a deeper dive into the work.

Have you been playing small in your life? Know you're meant for something bigger, but don't know what steps to take? Well, stick around...I'll have lots to share.

Sometimes, we need to stop apologizing and just live our lives in a way that's best for us.

You ever hear yourself start a sentence with, "I'm sorry, but..."

Stop. You have nothing to apologize for.

What else would you add to this list?

I love this prompt from .diels . If you're not already following her, do yourself a favour and go check our her brilliant content.

When I thought about this question, the first thing that came to mind was other people's poor planning turning into my emergency.

Years of people pleasing held me in that place of making sure everyone else was okay and smoothing things over.

Now?

I'm no longer available for that. My time is valuable. I have created boundaries around what I will and will not respond to.

How about you? What are you no longer available for?
