Autonomy Blockers

Do you remember when you did something really hard on your own for the first time?

Choosing autonomy challenges and stretches us.

It also creates capacity for the next time we’re faced with something really hard that we decide to take on.

But what gets in the way or trying something new? Learn the three of the most common “autonomy blockers” that we experience at all stages of our lives and what we can do about them!

Teaching Trust

On the surface, trust appears simple: You either trust someone or you don’t.

But what really makes trust work in our relationships?

And more fundamentally, how do we learn to truly trust ourselves? This month, we’re examining how to build and maintain trust in our lives.

Authentically Imperfect

Think back to the first time you learned how much you really didn’t know about something.

Maybe it was even an area you assumed a level of confidence or even expertise in.  

And then suddenly you realized your blind spot (or maybe some well-intentioned person shared it with you!) and you could no longer ignore it…

We’ve all been there. We call this place self-awareness. And it takes authenticity!

The Imagination of a Tired Mama…

Somewhere between the endless loads of laundry, wiping of tiny noses and bottoms, and balancing #AllTheThings, we’ve have to train our brain and imagination to prioritize fun and play. It doesn’t always come naturally…even when kids are playing around us all the time!

So from one tired parent to another, here’s our best advice for staying connected to your imagination while juggling parenting, work, and life!

Three Simple Words

How often do we wait until we’re overly frustrated with something we can’t do before we reach out and ask for help?

Admitting when we aren’t capable of doing something is hard and can even be pretty scary (especially something we should be able to do). After all, we want to come across as capable, have-it-all-together people who offer help to others – not admit we need it ourselves.

This month, we’re going to be exploring the value of collaboration and how we can work together to be even better, starting with asking and inviting.

Everyday Self Care

Everyday Self Care

It’s that time of year when we are re-examining how we want to live and what we need to change. Many set New Year’s resolutions in attempts to build new habits, while others may choose a specific “word of the year” as their intention to focus on for the next 365 days.

What if we adopted a more nurturing approach to behavior change in 2020? (while still accomplishing “enough”).

Join us this month as we explore what self care means and how to regularly practice more of it in ways that we can stay fully committed to throughout the year ahead!

Thankful For What Didn't Happen (Yet)

Thankful For What Didn't Happen (Yet)

Missed opportunities. Delayed responses. “Bad” timing. Failures. Waiting…

For all the times we’ve wondered why, and then discovered the blessing or opportunity on the other side...

This month, we’re looking at gratitude through the lens of lack – not gain – as we acknowledge how the things that haven’t happened yet are often as powerful as those things we already have experienced and achieved.

Plan the Event, Not the Outcome

Plan the Event, Not the Outcome

Flexibility is much easier than it sounds and harder than you think. It requires a release of expectations, a willingness to be in the moment, and an acknowledgement that you cannot (and should not) control everything.

 

As the last few weeks of summer melt into fall and the hustle continues, let’s take this month to consider how to approach living with more flexibility, starting with how we relate to what happens…and what doesn’t!

Rethinking Resilience

Rethinking Resilience

How do you feel going into 2019?

Far too often, WHO we want to BE becomes the afterthought or byproduct of a hurried and frazzled life that is so focused on WHAT we need to DO.

What if we decided to live this year differently?

Imagine what it would be like if your life was full of energy, motivation, ease, and flow.  

What would be possible then?

Let’s take a deeper look at the science of resilience and what it teaches us about developing character.

Embodying Presence

Embodying Presence

How you SHOW UP matters.

It’s all too easy to present a persona that looks fine on the outside, but is craving something more on the inside.

This month, many people will be dressing up, putting on masks, and pretending to be someone else. But are you doing that in your typical life – hiding what you really, truly want and just making it work, even when it’s not?

You were made for more, my friend.

Life is a Celebration

Life is a Celebration

I believe that there are special moments in life that are meant to be honored and celebrated, yet we often feel like we need to accomplish something BIG to be worthy of acknowledgment. As we near the end of summer, what are you proud to have done, started, or changed in your life?
