THE GRATEFUL LIFE COACHING

So, what exactly is Coaching, anyway?

I can't tell you the number of times I have received this question over the years! And, it is a very valid one.

Here's a bit of a more detailed breakdown to help clarify what we work on together.

  • Identify self-limiting influences and beliefs. It’s some of the most powerful stuff to unpack, and an honor to hold space, encourage, and share empathy with you.
​
  • Guidance for your personal and professional development. What feels missing in your life? What feels really great, that you'd like more of? We get very clear on this, and develop the tools to continue exploring these questions for years to come.
 
  • Hold you accountable for reaching your personal goals. This is huge, because it's so easy to slide back into the same routines of everyday life, putting off our next steps for all of eternity! When you invest in a coach, you automatically are investing in your future. Who wants to pay for a service, but then not capitalize on its full offering?!
 
  • Challenge you and provide feedback on your progress. I promise, it's all in kind observation with zero judgement.
 
  • Give you actions and inquiries to work on in-between sessions. Homework, essentially! This can be straightforward or a bit unconventional. It helps to deepen the learning and keep you moving forward in between our chats.
 
  • Discover your personal values and purpose. These babies will continue to guide you back to your truths again and again.
 
  • Help you set clearer goals, take action, and make better decisions. 
​
  • Ease your mind and soul. You've got this, and I'm here for you with love, and compassion, and hopefully a few laughs.

And from my heart, to yours...

Coaching is the softness of real acceptance; proof that coming home to one’s self can equal pure, satisfying comfort.

Coaching is room to breathe, infinite space, and immense possibility. Being wild with your words. Freedom, like folk rebellion. The heart skipping view from both the base, and the top, of a powerful waterfall. It is the first, exhilarating plunge into cool water on a hot day. Baptismal. Blessing. Forgiving. Inviting. It’s the magic and mystery of trusting the process; the adventure and awe possible within our time here, in this life. It is calming, yet igniting. Getting back to the core; the Truth. Perhaps finding it for the very first time.

Coaching offers a library of endless resources, food for thought, paths to connection. (Connection, never correction). It is a carefully curated tool box of meaningful treasures. Coaching is that resonant feeling of brainstorming on a topic that makes your heart race and your imagination let loose; that takes a yes to a hell yes. It is ideas with a pulse.

It’s like cooking your favorite, nourishing meal in a big, open, sun lit kitchen; side by side with a close friend, listening to soulful music and sipping delicious coffee or teas as conversation flows easily between you. As a home, coaching looks like exposed brick and repurposed wood; touches of beauty in the forms of art, thriving plants, or photographs. It is inviting spaces, nooks and crannies to create, or to rest within. Coaching is like a snail mail delivery of unexpected, handwritten letters containing encouragement, hope, love you hadn't known you fully needed. Notes from various, surprising sources, including yourself.  Most importantly, from yourself.

Coaching is understanding, then committing, to doing this thing, or that, simply because it is what your soul requires of you -- and that this is the requirement most vulnerable, most valuable, to our efforts. Coaching is transformational because you are worthy of being transformed. It is powerful because we are.

It is forever, because Coaching is a natural translator of intention to reality, of vision to fulfillment. 

And it is learning how to choose this fulfilling reality again and again, as though there weren't really any other option.



So, dear one, how do you want to show up in the world?
