Free Spirit Coaching

Thank you for creating such an amazing memory for this girl - she will not set them down 😂. You are one of the reasons she is such a confident keeper! She’ll be channeling this energy for her game tomorrow.

If only you could see the amount of baking we’ve been doing over here. Muffins, tarts with lemon curd and fresh berries, homemade pasta that left flour and egg yoke on absolutely everything.

But it’s less about the baked goods than it is about the conscious time with my girls. The confidence they are building to bake things completely on their own or together. The responsibility and tools learned when the cracked egg goes all over the counter and the floor. the opportunity for me to say “oh that’s alright. It happens.” And then model what we do next. And the joy they have when they get to bring homemade baked goods to their friends saying “I made this for you!”.


It’s more than just baking. And I’ll remind myself of this on my 9 thousandth time cleaning up a few left over messy spots of the kitchen ❤️


This is me finding time for gratitude in a messy moment. Joy and gratitude can be incredible acts of defiance in the face of sadness, anxiety, or depression. They also lighten a heavy load when we find small bits of light through the tears.

You don’t have to do the grandest thing in the world.
You don’t need to be the most spectacular.
You don’t need to be the most famous.
It doesn't need to be perfect.
You just need to do what you can, with what you have, starting right where you are.

You can’t control everything that happens to you, but you can choose to do something with what you’re given and take back some control of your own.

What is one thing, this week, you have control over that can help you feel more grounded?

Grounding coaching trauma

Yes. You are strong. You are capable. But sometimes the deep, healing work can suck.

🤍You don’t have to do it alone.

Who is a safe person you lean on in difficult times?

3 things for better mental health this weekend.

1. Grab a paper or journal and write down your thoughts and feelings, as they are, unedited. Writing out your feelings just as they are helps free up mental space.

2. Make room
for micro-moments. Try to quiet email, social and work to enjoy the sweet moments of life that bring you joy. Snuggle and play with your dog, tend to your garden or plants, enjoy the sun and a cup of tea. These small moments help gratitude to flourish.

3. Go for a walk and purposefully note 5 things you see. Connecting with your breathe and the natural beauty around you helps calm the nervous system and reconnect you with the present moment

Will you try any of these techniques this weekend?

After several weeks of unseasonal rain and chilliness, let yourself enjoy the typical Oregon summer weather that is slowly returning to our state.

"How you climb a mountain is more important than reaching the top." - Yvon Chouinard

My joy today - seeing the place where Harper was born. I love these girls.

"Mindfulness" is the word of the day for all of us today.

This is a therapeutic technique that allows you to take a step back and view your emotions or situations in an objective way. It is important to remain nonjudgmental of yourself, as your emotions and experiences are still valid.

How do you try and stay mindful throughout the day?

Happy Mantra Monday.

You can do anything as long as you weather the storm.
