When I Stopped Making Myself Wrong
Every time I completed something meaningful, whether supporting loved ones through a difficult time, hosting an event, or launching a new idea at work, I braced for what always came next: regret.
Not because things had gone terribly wrong. But because I only looked for what had.
The Number of Times I Want to Quit My Business (In a Day)
Building a business, finding my voice, writing in a way that connects, figuring out what to say, keeping up with marketing trends, algorithms, and whatever Substack is doing this week... it’s exhausting. And some days I just want to lie down and read a book. (Okay, most days.)
When the Past Feels Like Proof
Hindsight bias is when the past feels like proof of what’s coming.
It convinces you that what happened before is exactly how it will go again.
And it makes the fact that things didn’t work out last time feel like a personal failure you should have definitely seen coming.
The Relief You’re Feeling—Is It the Right Kind?
Relief is a beautiful thing when it comes at the right time, in the right way. It can signal that you’ve honored your capacity, completed something important, or given yourself permission to move toward something you truly want (even when it feels very hard.)
But if your relief is coming from stepping back too soon, it might be worth staying with the discomfort just a little longer—because your success/dream/breakthrough/certainty may be right on the other side.
Are You Overworking in Your Coaching Sessions?
Overworking in coaching usually comes from a place of respect and care for our clients, but underneath, there’s often something deeper.
Taking Care of You After a Coaching Session
If you want to create a sustainable, fulfilling coaching practice, you need space to process, reset, and reflect after your sessions. Otherwise, you might find yourself carrying unprocessed emotions, second-guessing your work, or feeling drained before your next session even begins.
Compassion in Uncertain Times
Compassion isn’t about minimizing pain, having all the answers, or figuring everything out right away—it’s about creating space for tenderness, listening, and kindness, even when things feel upside down.
