I’m fascinated by the way complex problems are sometimes solved easily – like when something just clicks into place and the path forward is obvious.

How do we make ourselves more prone to these moments of clarity?

One of the reasons change is so hard is that we become disoriented.

Changes big and small strand us in the wilderness without a trail or a map.

What if we each had an ideal pace for our lives?

A tempo or a beat that reflected the best possible speed for our life to unfold at any moment.

Would your essence pace be faster or slower than the way your life typically unfolds now?

We sometimes get confused about this. We commit to change or transform...and then we find ourselves doing the opposite of what we said we would do.

What are we to make of this?

I've got some potentially hard news...

Only YOU have the instructions for your life.

used to think maybe I wasn't cut out for a purposeful career.

I believed that people did have meaningful and purposeful work. In fact, I could really feel it when someone was passionate and committed and totally in the flow. And it was inspiring. I wanted it.

But, I had a suspicion that it wasn't for me.

One thing I love about coaching is that we get to dedicate time to exploring our hardest thing.

By hardest thing, I mean the area of your life that feels the most unsettled. You may recognize it as an intractable challenge of some kind, some place you feel lost, or you may see it as a terrifying (or even exhilarating) learning edge.

I'm fascinated by how much my life is improved - my clients lives are improved - by small adjustments in habits and behaviors. Doing these these things consistently has a significant impact on my health, productivity, happiness, and well-being.

We are all craving more creativity and flow.

I consider this a skillful craving. A longing for something wholesome and true.

And I am on a mission to help us all return to the place inside us that flows.

Time & productivity are always hot topics.

I sometimes hesitate to write too much about them because as I’ve told you before…I think we tend to overestimate how more time or productivity will solve bigger challenges - like a lack of purpose, engagement or vitality.

So here's a little thought exercise: What feels true and certain to you right now?

And the common question we explore together:

How do I know if I should trust this thought/feeling?

Is it wisdom? Is it fear? Is it an excuse? Or some inner truth I need to take seriously?

Science tells me it's true. Completing tasks activates the same short-term feel good dopamine circuitry that underpins other forms of addiction.

But, as I’ve mentioned before - all that doing is not necessary.
