10d ago27:58

27:58

Today I’m answering another question from a newsletter subscriber. J asks: “How do I find time and energy for friendship when I'm exhausted by work and parenting?” I share 6 practical suggestions for maintaining friendships when you are tired and overwhelmed. And then I talk about a higher-level problem that I think may be at play here. I hope that…

28d ago19:01

19:01

Here’s something I’ve said to three different clients just this week: It might not be a logical decision. (At least not in the way that you think). So, today, I want to expand on that a bit – I want to talk about three main weaknesses that our logical brain can have in some kinds of decision-making. Then, I’m going to talk about what we can consult…

42: Getting your ego out of the way (Q&A) 26:56

1M ago26:56

26:56

A newsletter subscriber recently asked: “How do I get my ego out of the way when approaching a career transition?” She's used to having the "credibility shortcut" of being a lawyer, and a part of her mourns that she won't have it in the same way — even though she likes her decision to try a new direction. Today, I'm sharing more about what I think …

41: Radical friendship insights from my father 9:25

2M ago9:25

9:25

Some time ago, I wrote about what I’ve learned about friendship from watching my dad. People tell me, over and over, that this piece about my dad really touched them, and really stayed with them. So, today I am putting these same ideas into podcast form, with some edits and a bit more detail. I think my dad has some pretty great — and even *radical…

1:01:34

Today 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…

39: Basking 17:24

3M ago17:24

17:24

Today, I'm talking about basking, a body-based way of relating to people. Basking allows us to take in different, often quite useful information, and often produces different results. On this episode, I explain what basking is + how I learned about it originally. Plus, I share 5 different contexts in which you can use it, and why it’s so helpful in…

3M ago32:13

32:13

I recently asked my newsletter community if there were any questions they would like me to answer on the podcast. I got some really good ones and today I’m answering this high-level question: “How do you advise people who are dealing with that general feeling of "stuckness”?” I realized, that on some level, so much of my work with clients is helpin…

37: When you’re not seeing results 16:28

4M ago16:28

16:28

Sometimes we go through periods where we do not see outside progress or results, despite taking the action. And that can be....frustrating (to put it mildly). Today, I wanted to share two ideas - one extended metaphor, and one short thought - that I've been reminding myself lately, in my own season of taking action without seeing a ton of results (…

36: Self-development realism 12:25

4M ago12:25

12:25

This episode is about self-development realism. To me, self-development realism is acknowledging the *reality* of your limitations when it comes to implementing ideas from podcasts, on instagram, or books. You can consume as much self-development content as you’d like, but I don’t want you to get frustrated or overwhelmed by it. I strongly believe …

In this episode, I talk about agitation. If you're thinking: "What the heck is agitation, and why does it matter?" - well, this episode is for you. I'll start by defining the term - and make the case for why you should definitely care. (A lil' hint: ever struggled to stop doing something that doesn't serve you?) Then I'll share two general principl…

Today’s episode is a rant that I would like to share with people who have Energetically Expensive Lives. It’s a rant that I have been sharing with some of my clients who have energetically expensive lives, and it’s a rant that I just sometimes rant to myself, as I’m taking a walk, and feel fired up about these big, mistaken ideas that people with e…

33: The Princess and the Pea (A Sensitivity Story) 28:06

7M ago28:06

28:06

Today I am sharing a concept I’ve developed over the past year or so. Like most of my best concepts, it came out of my work with my 1:1 clients. One of my clients was extremely sensitive - which was both an incredible strength for her, and also caused some real suffering. I developed this concept to help her better understand what was going on for …

31: Communicating with women (advice for men + everyone else) 51:11

7M ago51:11

51:11

In coaching my male clients, I realized that there were some common challenges that they encountered, in communicating with their female partners — and that I could often help them communicate far more effectively! Truthfully, I hesitated to make this episode. I don't always love making gender-based generalizations - but I also felt like this was…

29: “What actually happens during a life coaching engagement?” 26:07

8M ago26:07

26:07

One of the most common questions I hear is some form of: so what actually *happens* on a coaching engagement? This is a great question. After all, life coaching is a relatively new profession, so many people aren’t familiar with it. And different coaches run their coaching engagements in different ways. Today I answer this question in two ways: f…

28: Two Intentional Technology Ideas 21:59

10M ago21:59

21:59

In this episode, I talk about intentional technology. I share the first two big things I did to get intentional about technology years ago. These are honestly pretty small + easy, but they also give you a big bang for your buck. So if you want the feeling of having done something for the new year, without actually doing a lot, I think these could b…

As we enter the holiday season, I want to offer you an idea that has been really resonating with me in my life, and with my clients as well. Here it is: Take the next day off. If you’re trying to make an improvement in your life - do the new practice for one day, and then *take the next day off.* Don’t do it for two days in a row. It might sound a …

Today I am talking about “what happened” conversations. A “what happened” conversation is a type of conversation that is incredibly useful when you are in a difficult, resentful, angry, or frustrated situation with someone. In this episode I explain more about what a “what happened” conversation is, why it’s useful, and when to do it. I get specifi…

24: Making Decisions 19:09

11M ago19:09

19:09

In this episode, I am talking about the pulling-the-trigger part of decision making. The part when you basically know what you want, but sometimes you hesitate, you feel anxious and indecisive and put off actually making the decision. I come to this episode as someone who has struggled to make decisions in the past. I'm sharing five practices or th…

Sometimes what holds people back from getting support is that they don’t even realize what kinds of topics coaches can help with. So in this episode, I share the 10 most common topics that come up in my own life coaching practice. Specificity is so helpful, so as I go through each category, I also share real client examples. I hope that sharing abo…

One thing I do very, very frequently is help clients with problems like: “I don’t know what I want.” Or: “I don’t know what to do about my job or relationship or where to live.” Or: “I feel like my life is off but I’m not really sure what that even means.” I call these “compass problems” — because clients don’t know what direction they want to go i…
