65: 3 personal examples of Rightness
Now We're Getting Somewhere
As I prepare for my upcoming course, “How To Know What You Want,” I have been thinking a lot about how to make decisions, “Rightness,” and knowing what you want. So today, I wanted to talk about these topics from a personal lens. I share 3 examples of recent decisions that I made that had Rightness to them - and how I came to those decisions. These examples were all different situations (some important, some relatively trivial), I made them in different ways (some quickly, some slowly), and they had different outcomes (including one that went poorly). Rightness...

64: What "Rightness" is (and what it *isn't*)
Now We're Getting Somewhere
In this episode, I share about what “Rightness” is, and why it matters. Why do we even care about Rightness? I also talk a bit about what Rightness isn’t. Sometimes I think understanding how things don’t operate can give us a lot of insight about how to cultivate them. Ultimately, I think that Rightness is what we're all seeking — with decisions big and small. I hope you'll join me for this important exploration of the topic. This topic, among others, will be covered in my upcoming course “How To Know What You Want.” Learn more about the course at ....

61: “Because I want to” is a reason (and might be the *best* reason)
Now We're Getting Somewhere
I talk to a lot of people who are in the process of figuring out what they want. There's often one thing that I’m listening for — or feeling for — in those conversations, and that is: “because I want to.” So in this episode, I clarify what I mean by this and share why this is helpful + address some of the objections I suspect you’re probably already having. I share a client story and a personal story + end with a mini FAQ where I answer questions like, “what if I can’t find my ‘because I want to?’” I hope this episode helps you find clarity if you...

60: "How do I make sure it's not ‘Grass Is Greener Syndrome'?" (Q&A)
Now We're Getting Somewhere
Today I am answering a question from a newsletter subscriber. Alexine asks: How do you check in with yourself before making a major move to check it's not "grass is greener" syndrome? She shares: “We are looking to do a big move to the UK from Canada, and we do genuinely believe it's the right situation for us and our family. However, how do we check in with ourselves first and make sure we're not "chasing happiness.”” The heart of this question - “how do I make sure this is not just a case of thinking the grass is greener on the other side?” is something that...

59: My new favorite practice (that’s not journaling)
Now We're Getting Somewhere
In this episode, I share with you my new favorite practice — that's not journaling. I discovered it about a month ago when I was feeling pretty discouraged. I was frustrated with myself and I wanted to find a way to pull myself out of that moment. Typically, I'd do some journaling in that kind of moment — but it wasn't possible, and I also didn't *want* to. I know that for many of my clients, journaling just isn't their favorite — or maybe they do love it, but don't always have the time, or are looking for some new ideas. I share what this practice is, the different ways I...

58: Balancing your energy "budget"
Now We're Getting Somewhere
I suspect that many of you reading this have emergency funds, IRA's, and ETF portfolios. I also suspect that you may be living "month-to-month," when it comes to your energy. You never seem to have much reserves, and you're always just a smidge stressed, tired, or frantic. Recently, I said something to a client that was such a good distillation of my thoughts about energy + how to stop being in that constant, low-level energy debt. It seemed to really resonate with her, so I thought I'd share it with you, too. This episode might help you do an audit of how you spend your...

57: When things don't come "naturally"
Now We're Getting Somewhere
Is there some area of your life that doesn't come "naturally"? Maybe it's some element of your work, parenthood, friendship, marriage, or even a hobby. If so, this episode is for you. We want to be skillful at something, and we want it to come easily. And when it’s hard, when we work for it, we can feel frustrated and insecure. Today I share two client stories, along with an insight I love (that's been bouncing around inside of me lately) on this topic. I hope this episode helps you realize that if there’s something you’re struggling with, something that...

56: One way to reduce stress + hours when you're a leader
Now We're Getting Somewhere
I was working with two clients (who are both leaders and managers) in the past week, and I was giving them both very similar coaching. Whenever that happens, I think: I should make a podcast about this. (Think this episode doesn't apply to you because you aren't an official "manager"? I define leadership quite broadly, so there's a good chance the ideas I share will be helpful to you, too.) Today I'm sharing the same advice I shared with them. I'm talking about how to reduce stress + hours when you’re a leader — while keeping work quality the same, or frequently...
info_outlineToday I’m interviewing my wonderful former client, Hannah.
Hannah came to me when she was going through an extremely tough season at work, and wanted to make sure she navigated that season skillfully, and also didn’t let it completely negatively impact her personal life. So many people I speak with are dealing with a similar issue, and Hannah has a lot of great insights + practices to share about what worked for her.
Plus, she's so funny, thoughtful + creative — I know you’ll enjoy hearing our conversation.
