This Tuesday marks the three month anniversary of when I first put myself out there as a life transformation coach. The shift has been nothing short of transformational for me too.
I’ve long felt that I had the tools, talent, knowledge and desire to helps lots of people, but it was always a struggle to engage the way I wanted too in between all the other stuff I had to do for money. But now I can focus all my energy here!
For those who are interested, I want to share a little more about what working with me as a coach could entail.
A lot of us have problems we’re trying to work through in life. This could be a bigger goal or vision for our lives that we want to attain, digging ourselves out from a frustrating place, or even just getting to a place of satisfaction with where we currently are.
But we’re held back, both by the standard needs and expectations that come with life (I.e. going to work, paying bills, addressing the needs of others around us), and our own willingness or belief that the alternatives are possible.
Much of what happens in coaching is conversations to uncover these subconscious beliefs. We’ve spent so long just assuming they're true that thinking otherwise can be tricky.
It can take some digging and thoughtful questions to get to the heart of it, but uncovering the nature and origins of our subconscious beliefs can be incredibly illuminating.
Once we catch what these subconscious beliefs are, then we can make an action plan to challenge them, bit-by-bit.
Much of what happens in this stage of coaching is sharing my own experience and expertise to develop a plan together and then help you keep on track with the plan, both to challenge your comfort zone and also to acknowledge your gains (because they can be too easy to forget!)
If you’re interested in starting coaching, I’ve got two more spots available right now. I’m going to raise my rates in the New Year but if you at least sign up before then, I’m happy to offer you my 2021 rate. If you’d like to know more or want to set up a free introductory appointment, I would love to talk to you! You can schedule it here.
I’m also hosting a mini workshop / discussion on Fixed vs Growth Mindset via Zoom on Thursday, December 16, at 1 p.m. PST. I’d love to have you join! The link to sign up is here.
This year I did something I’ve never done before. I made a “Five Year Plan.” The plan I made for myself was scary and ambitious, but also after doing the numbers I feel really good about the plan. I’m inspired and looking forward to the challenge. I share exactly how I did it in the post.
We’re coming up on the New Year, a time at which we reflect on the year past and set goals, or “resolutions,” for the new year. This week I wanted to explore what it means to set goals in our lives, how we choose them, and how we achieve them.
One of the biggest challenges I see people having with making shifts in their life is when they’ve fallen into a state of learned helplessness. What is it and how do you break away from it?
One of the most common ways fixed mindsets inhabit our lives is by too easily accepting limitations without question. But the truth is that if you want it badly enough you can find a way.
How familiar are you with the concept of a fixed mindset vs a growth mindset? If you don’t know what it is, then read this post now.

For a long time I knew there was a different version of me that I wanted to be. That person would be more open, expressive, curious, and excited for life… but I didn’t know how to get there.
One of the interesting things about gratitude is just how loaded a topic it is for some of us. It’s often coupled with feelings of guilt, unworthiness, or unrealistic expectations. Or that it’s all just a bunch of woo-woo nonsense.
In this post I compiled some different gratitude journal prompts, but I curated these with an eye towards understanding some of the challenges we have with the idea. I hope this helps!
Before I got serious about creating a gratitude practice for myself I used to worry that it would take away my edge, cause me to ignore my challenges, and gloss over injustices in the world. I found the reality to be the opposite case.

Gratitude is NOT toxic positivity. Gratitude is maintaining perspective. We’re so prone to only see the negative that we need to actively remind ourselves to also see the positive to maintain a fair outlook on life.
The whole concept of gratitude was one I used to roll my eyes at mightily. But eventually I began to see things differently.
Like many people, my world was turned upside down by the pandemic. But something new and exciting has emerge out of it. I’ve begun offering my services as a life transformation coach.
For some of us, the holidays can be tough. Here are a set of mantras to remind yourself of the importance of self-love and self-worth.
Have you ever had one of those ultra earnest moments where somebody close to you very honestly, emphatically, and directly told you how proud they are of you? How they’ve seen you work and grow and found it inspiring? How they think you’re special and worthy of love, appreciation, respect, etc?
We’re all driven by so many unconscious drivers that unless we develop clarity on what it is we’re looking and moving towards, all those other drivers will completely take over.
