Because of the years and years of training I’ve had to help others and of me having my own life coach, I was able to manage in what I consider a mentally healthy way.

Instead of spiraling into anxiety, fear and overwhelm, I leaned on three powerful life coaching tools to stay calm, process my emotions, and get through it with more ease. I come on this week (from the hospital, so please excuse the audio!) to highlight them for you so you can find ease when life goes upside down for you.

In this episode, I walk you through:

- The Zoom In, Zoom Out method to gain perspective

- Clean pain vs. dirty pain and why it matters

All of us face uncertainty and things that are out of our control (especially now 😬). These life coaching tools really work. Humaning can be hard yet learning these (and using them) are what I use when things go bad. Listen in to this episode of the Love Your Life Show to help you navigate life’s challenges with more peace and confidence. Learn how to take control of your mindset—even in the hardest moments.
Job loss, health diagnoses, teenage drama, marital problems, divorce, you name it, I’ve used these tools for it. 💙
