Kirsten Beske Coaching

“𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.”

I have heard this countless times, in confidence, from SO many of my clients.

❌ Not because they are lazy.
❌ Not because they aren’t talented and accomplished.
❌ Not because they aren’t ambitious.

In fact, most of my clients have had 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵 professional and personal success in their lives.

However, they all have one thing in common:

Deep down they know they are DONE hustling for other people’s agendas, needs and desires. If you are ready to use your remaining time on this planet to its fullest, while taking care of yourself, your energy and your wellbeing, I invite you to consider joining me in my 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺!

My 𝟭:𝟭 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 is a time tested program guiding thoughtful, capable women like you through later-career shifts towards more energy, purpose and impact in this next chapter.

If you’re sensing that your Next Chapter is calling for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone!

🐉🏓 Championship Weekend with the Boston Dragons 🏓🐉

I am packing up for Championship Weekend with the Boston Dragons down in New Jersey this weekend and feeling equal parts excited, nervous, and deeply grateful.

Competing at my age in the inaugural season of the senior pro U.S. Legends Pickleball League is something I never could have imagined not that long ago.

And yet, here I am, feeling strong, challenged, and energized by the opportunity to play at this pro level.

What makes this whole season especially meaningful is the people I have met along the way, from the initial Combine participants, to the inspirational Michele Ferran Spahr, topping it all with my talented teammates, so many who have patiently encouraged, coached and tolerated my journey up to this level of play.

Every single one of them is talented, generous, competitive, and kind AND have taught me so much (both on and off the court) this season.

I feel incredibly grateful and lucky to be part of this team and this league, learning and growing alongside such an inspiring group of people.

Championship Weekend—let’s go Dragons. 💪✨🐉

🏅 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 & 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 — 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸! 🎉

Still riding the high (and totally exhausted) from an incredible week at the NSGA National Pickleball Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa!

I’m thrilled (and honestly still a little stunned) to share that I took home the 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 and

finished 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗱𝘁—

and had 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 doing it. 🙌🏼🏓

My mixed doubles partner Terry Farmer from Arkansas was my “blind date” and we ground out round after round to be undefeated!

And, Beth and her partner Mark Harris pulled off a Bronze in their doubles division!!

The competition was tough, the matches were intense, but more than anything—it was FUN!

I met amazing players from all over the country, shared stories, laughs, leg cramps and even ate some real pickles.

This week reminded me that setting a goal and working toward it with joy can lead to something pretty magical.

I’m proud of how I played, grateful for every person who supported me along the way, and completely inspired by the spirit of this community.

And, just remember, you don’t have to be an athlete to have the benefit of 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲!

Just think of something you “always thought would be fun” and go give it a try!

Your future self will thank you!

It’s YOUR time to prioritize yourself. Don’t wait another day to create the life you’re meant to live! 💫

Tired of being successful yet uninspired by work you “should” want to do, but no longer lights you up?

Do you find yourself daydreaming of doing something else? Anything else?

Are you feeling trapped in your current reality?

Do you wake up every morning, put on your game face, and go dive into that work that folks admire, but no longer lights you up inside?

You ARE great at what you do.

But, you ask yourself,
Is this really what you want to be “great” at anymore?

If this is you, you aren’t alone.

Like so many mid-career professionals, you have mastered the art of doing what you “should” do:

Following a practical and lucrative career path your family approved of.

Climbing the ladder to achieve more, because that is what ambitious people do.

Staying in your established field, because you’ve invested too much to leave.

Maintaining your professional status to impress others.

Here is what actually keeps you up at night:

👉 Deep down, you KNOW you are capable of MORE.
👉 More than just looking “successful.”
👉 More than phoning it in, day after day.
👉 More than compromising joy for a regular paycheck and good benefits.

The Real Cost of staying in the “Should” work is that every day that you spend in your field for its familiarity, rather than its soul-fit drains you:

-Mental energy convincing yourself to stay motivated and in action.

-Trapped potential creative energy in a role that doesn’t tap into your true gifts.

-Wasted years of life, performing a job that brings a paycheck, but not purpose.

-Lost opportunity to discover what might be possible to achieve if you actually loved your work.

Imagine instead:

Waking up inspired to start your day, not because you “should,” but because you ARE.

Making decisions based on what lights you up, (not what will look good on your CV or LI) but instead,

Using your hard earned skills and experience in work that feels true to who you are NOW.

Finally feeling aligned between who you truly are and what you do in the world.

Coincidence? Or not?

I had the privilege of attending a weekend workshop of the Peruvian Andes healing tradition with a group of amazing humans last weekend.

It was wonderful to be able to make space and time to connect with a deep tradition rooted firmly in gratitude, nature, wisdom and community.

And,

Guess how many workshop participants were approaching a “Big Birthday” in the next year or so.

A LOT!!!

(Waaay more than a normal distribution of humans!)

And, of those, the big 6 - Oh was on the horizon for most.

It was striking to me.

Many of my friends, clients and even our Vice President are in this age range.

The 50s and 60s are a powerful time of life.

A time of PEAK WISDOM.

A time of VITALITY.

A time of EASE and ACCOMPLISHMENT.

And

A time of CURIOSITY of what comes next.

It is also a time of deep reflection of the finite time we are privileged to have on this planet,

As well as,

The open curiosity about what our impact will be for the next couple of decades.

It is a time of discernment and increasing clarity of what we truly WANT versus what we have been told we SHOULD want.

We are done with the “shoulds.”

We are ready to fully step into ourselves.

Authentically, Deeply and Powerfully.

I have such gratitude for the teachings of Vilma and Francisco, who traveled all the way from Peru to share their Andean traditions.

I have such respect for the folks who made space and time to come learn more about a different tradition and worldview.

I also have such gratitude for my amazing Life Redesign clients as they bravely navigate their unique paths in their 2d, 3rd and even 6th careers.

If you are someone who may be approaching a milestone birthday and are wondering what may be next for you that will make you feel truly fulfilled and living out your purpose,

My Next Spark Accelerator program may be perfect for you!

(I have only 2 spots open for the right clients for this Fall.)
