An elegant leader doesn’t people please. They model self compassion.

There were no checklists or steps to success. There was bravery, courage and fear. There was trust. Trust that I could figure it out.

Connecting with our intentions is what keeps us out of autopilot.

They help us be deliberate.

And connect to our why.

What does “caring for the long haul “look like?

It looks like managing your energy well.

Not resisting reality. Staying out of urgency, negativity, and catastrophizing.

When you transcend the need to be chosen and instead choose yourself, you will very likely go farther, faster and arrive in places you actually want to go.

When you leave a relationship, job, house, or city, rather than run away from something, choose to move toward something.

How often do you say…? I am just a pediatrician. I am just a psychiatrist. I am just a section chief.

Are you still a space, role, or relationship that you have outgrown or are ready to graduate from?

Coaching teaches you to enjoy the here while intentionally and deliberately pointing yourself towards an aligned there.

You learn that your ability to enjoy the here is what will enable you to enjoy being there when you get there.

The grass isn’t automatically greener in a new job or relationship. Here’s what “watering the grass” looks like in real life—and why it changes everything. Before you make a big change, water the grass. And if you still want to change, do it from clarity—not scarcity.

What you practice grows. What you pay attention to is your life.

What if you focused your attention on when people show you love and how they show you love.

Your morning coffee just might be a cup of love.

Another perfect response when someone asks you to do something when your plate is already full or overfull. No one wants to push you further over-capacity.

Capacity is a calm, grounded and non-judgmental word.

When we make changes without cleaning up our sh*t, we usually continue to have many of the same struggles and challenges we had before- just in a different place or with a different person.

How we describe things changes how we feel and how much we struggle.

Riding the waves is way more fun and light than rolling with the punches.

Learning how to do this no matter the situation is the gift of mindful coaching.

Coaching offers agency, empowerment, grace, and self-compassion —no matter what your personal “it” is.

I have learned to let go of the grasping and need to reach the end result of my goals and appreciate the small victories that I make along the way.”
