When your Identity becomes intertwined with your Story
Every experience that we have creates a story within our life. Each one of these stories has the possibility of traveling with us – when we don’t take the time to process them, move through them, and let them go. When we hold onto a story, that story can become intertwined with our identity. If…

Reality is what you make it
This is hitting me hard these past couple of weeks: Reality is what you make it! Boom. Think about that for a moment…what does that mean for you? For me, it means I am experiencing a version of “reality”. This particular reality has been made from my previous experiences and the beliefs and stories that…

“Good Enough” is Not Good Enough
Do not underestimate me! Yes, I may have underestimated myself. And, yes, that gave you permission to underestimate me, but that ends, right here, right now. “Good enough” is no longer good enough. I will no longer settle for less than exceptional. Exceptional is the only path forward for me. I had coffee with someone today who…

Surprises from the Past
It’s taken me a long time to post this. This originated in September 2017. Something hit me during a trip to San Francisco. Something unexpected! It started on the Wednesday night that I arrived…we were staying at a hostel for one night and, upon showing up, I discovered we didn’t have a private washroom, as…

Honour where you are!
Honour where you are. It’s so easy to get caught up in what’s next and what we haven’t achieved or what we don’t yet have. We forget about everything that we have achieved and that we do have in our lives! #westartedfromthebottomnowwehere This is definitely something I am cognizant of – and would like to…

Yes, You Actually Do Know!
Stop saying “I don’t know”, because, yes, you actually DO know! How often each day do you say “I don’t know” in a day? What situations do you say “I don’t know” in? As a coach, especially, the phrase “I don’t know” drives me crazy! Because, let’s be honest – you actually DO know! In fact,…

Learn Your Core Values
Do you know your core values? Are you living in alignment with your values? Let’s back up…A simple definition of values is: “One’s judgement of what is important in life.” What do you consider to be important? What are the behaviours, energies, and considerations that matter to you? Core values usually stick with you – they’re the ones…

Listen
Listen to the in betweens. Listen to the silence. Listen to the speakers you don’t usually listen to. Listen, even when you don’t want to hear what is being spoken. Listen… We get so caught up in our day-to-day. We live in habit. Habit is a necessity. We would be paralyzed by choice if we…

Self-Sabotage
Do you also experience this? When you get super excited about something, then you get in your own way!? You know that you’re in your way. You know that you’re making excuses or blowing up the challenge. You know that the next step is just to take a step! Yet, that deceptively friendly voice inside…

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…
