Realizing There Is No Gap - Carla Rotering

The Ultimate Coach Podcast

What if the gap between where you are and where you want to be doesn’t really exist? That’s just one of the key realizations Carla Rotering learned in her coaching with Steve Hardison. In this very special conversation with host Meredith Bell, Carla shares limiting beliefs that she became aware of and learned to release.

Carla first met Steve when they were both students at the University of Santa Monica. She takes us behind the scenes in his selection of “My Amy Project” and how that impacted Carla’s relationship with her own adult children. She talks about some of the most impactful moments when Steve drew her attention to specific behaviors that were undermining her ability to show up as her best self.

The beautiful 4-word statement that she shares at the end of this conversation is one that we can all adopt and live by. In fact, she said she “stole” it from Steve to remind herself that she didn’t need to see him as more enlightened or superior. She could BE “living love” just as he is.
