Coach: What would you like to focus on today?
Me: I feel all this anxiety and uneasiness with trying to decide if I should get the va$_ine or not
Coach: Sounds like you’re in a place of indecision and not sure which way to go
Me: Yes. There are times I feel like I SHOULD get it and others when I really don’t
Coach: Have you been able to decipher when you feel you should and when you feel you don’t want to?
Me: Actually yes I feel all this anxiety and like I should when I feel afraid which is when I read some news article that’s blaming the unva$_ed, shaming them, judging them, and questioning them as human beings… when they’re spitting out all this fear. Any other time I feel totally fine about my decisions thus far.
Coach: Sounds like you’re pretty clear on when these feelings of anxiety, doubt, and pressure come up. So how do you feel when you think about getting it?
Me: Anxious, fearful, uncertain. I mean I don’t even like taking aspirin so why would I want to take something so new that no one knows the long term effects of…
Coach: And how do you feel when you think about not taking it?
Me: Calm, confident, certain. Like this is my Truth. I’ve already had it and I have natural antibodies so I don’t feel I need it
Coach: Sounds like you already know what is right for you. How can you not let all the external noise get in the way?
Me: For me it’s about empathy & backing myself… empathy for myself for my own experience when someone comes at me. Empathy for them in understanding that they’re scared and lashing out because of that fear. Ultimately it’s choosing to back myself in knowing what is best for me.

Are you being honest with yourself?
Is this really the life you want to live?
Relationships
Health
Work
Often we get tunnel vision and think things can only be one way
We can only improve our health if we cut out the one thing we love
We can only improve our work if we find a new job
We can only improve our relationship if we find someone new
Even that the impact we make has to be at work
Neglecting the volunteering, donating, and other impacts we can make
Neglecting the impact we make in our personal life with friends and family
Often thinking we’re too old
It’s too hard
There’s no point
Which is all a choice to believe or not
If you believe it is so
If you choose something else it will be so
Buck the system
Find your own path
Choose your own beliefs
And live the life you want
Life's a choice. Be Bold. Be Vibrant. Be YOU! 💥

If you’re not growing you're dying
May sound harsh
Yet it’s true
As well as
If you’re not growing you’re not being your best self
Maybe your best self shows up in some areas
At work but not at home
At home but not at work
Who is your best self
Where do they show up now
How can you bring them out more

Saying ‘I love you’ is supposed to be meaningful
It’s supposed to be heartfelt
It’s not supposed to be out of fear
An effort to avoid a difficult conversation
To avoid taking responsibility
Motivation and intentions matter
The truth of it all is there
The manipulation felt
Whether acknowledged or not
We always know the truth
When not acknowledged it’s an underlying current
Disrupting
Wreaking havoc
Drawing attention
Until acknowledged
Setting you free
Where can you find more freedom today?
Life’s a choice. Be bold. Be Vibrant. Be YOU! 💥

For some service was a choice
For others, it was not
All making sacrifices
For some the ultimate sacrifice
Thank you
To you and your families

Not finishing something you started?
Setting out to do something and then not
Can feel disappointing
Frustrating
Annoying
Maybe it’s just time
To move on
Let it go
Maybe there’s something else
Something more exciting
More fun
More engaging
Or maybe there’s resistance to it
Or fear around it
What if it comes true
What if it doesn’t
Only you can know
Only you can discern
And take that next step forward

Client: “why did I get angry in this situation, my son had just been in an accident…”
Logically he couldn’t make sense of it
And so judged himself for it
The reality is it’s perfectly normal and natural
He didn’t know if his son was even ok
Our brains are wired for survival
And in the hierarchy anger is a protective defensive function
It allows us to grasp that adrenaline rush and propel ourselves forward
In a short burst anyways
It’s innate
Instinctual to protect those we love
Especially our children
So our brain says we need that adrenaline
We need to get into action
It keeps us from slipping down into victimhood and being paralyzed in inaction
As he learned to recognize the anger he realized he was at choice of whether to allow it
Or choose another path

What if you could have the mental fortitude of the Navy Seals or the Rangers
The innovative, creative ideas
The focus under pressure
The clear-headed action & ex*****on in stressful situations
The ability to thrive in any situation
What would be different?
What would be possible?
What if I told you you could be well on your way in as little as six weeks?
All without the sergeant screaming in your face boot camp style training
Curious? Shoot me a DM and I’ll send you the details!

What would reverse engineering your life
Your relationships
Your career look like?
With the end in mind
Success (re)defined
What do you need to do today
To learn
To create
To find
To master
To invest in
To get you there

Things don’t always go as planned
We get behind
Something “fails”
A client leaves
An unexpected expense comes up
All things that can feel challenging
All things that can feel liberating
Allowing the upset, disappointment, panic, hurt
For but just a moment
So we can see something needs to change
When we can let go of what ‘should’ be
Embracing what is
We find the gift
The opportunity
The strength to persevere
To step into empowered action
To take the next step
Life’s a choice. Be Bold. Be Vibrant. Be YOU!💥

It’s amazing when you put a thought, question, or idea out there the responses you get
The support
Encouragement
Appreciation
Acceptance
And the more you gravitate toward those responses
Reciprocate them
Appreciate them
Pay them forward
The more they come back to you in return
What do you gravitate towards?

When big decisions are afoot
To move or not
Taking a new job or not
Investing in ourselves or not
We can feel overwhelmed
Trying to think through it all
Making lists
Checking them twice
Or three
Or four times
The funny thing is we can rationalize our way into and out of anything
All in the name of survival
Once we realize that the questions change
Will this allow me to thrive
Will this open new doors
Will it allow me to learn and grow
Is it in line with my values and desires
The deeper questions take you to the real answers
The real opportunity
Life’s a choice. Be Bold. Be Vibrant. Be YOU! 💥
