Know Your Why(s) to Create Lasting, Sustainable Change
There are so many ways to create lasting, sustainable change – cold turkey, dripping new behaviours and habits in, crowding out old behaviours and habits, and many more tools – but what lives behind the actions? Your Why! Well, your WhyS. I see your Why as a layered thing – there isn’t one why. The…

What to Do When You Want to Numb
We all numb. Numbing is probably one of our best coping mechanisms. I numb with TV and food. Many numb with shopping. Some numb with drinking. We all have our ways. We also all have our triggers. A tough day at work. Getting into an argument with a loved one. PMS. There are two parts…

It’s Safe to be Seen!
When did you learn being seen wasn’t safe? When did you learn being recognized in a crowd meant being punished? When did you start hiding? When did you shrink into a wallflower? Sometimes it’s a trigger in this life that your soul recognizes as a danger from another life. Sometimes the time you remember in…

Meditation 101 – The Simply Style
I don’t know if I’ve ever, or recently, explained this concept of The Simply. I’ll dive into it in a separate post, but the basis of the idea is that, as humans, we have a tendency to complicate everything. The harder we work for something, the better the results must be, right? Wrong. My purpose…

A Life Coach is like a Personal Trainer

Disclaimer: I felt called to write this post. This is my niche! I love making these lessons feel accessible! I love the idea that you can create your life, no matter what your background and past experiences are! That said, I am feeling incredibly fearful of actually posting this because I don’t want to lead…

Managing Expectations
Expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future. Expectations can be dangerous. They are unlikely to be un-voiced, and likely involve another human and incomplete communication. We have expectations for ourselves, for our lives, for those in our lives, for interactions, and the list goes on. These expectations are beliefs…

How to Play Big in Your Life
Do you play small? I certainly do. What is that!? Why is that? Doesn’t that seem counter-intuitive? And yet, we all seem to have this same disposition/fear/shared consciousness. This is a cliché question, but, for real: What would you do if you knew you wouldn’t fail? Put differently: What would you do if you didn’t limit…
