Which type of pain are you accustomed to?

My nightstand book at the moment is titled 'Lessons from the Bedside', by Breda Casserly.

I found myself thinking a lot about the emotional pain discussed in this book.

Psychological pain is often silent, but we know now that it does impact our health and how we show up in the world.

This type of pain can be just as intense—if not more—than physical pain. It’s the ache of loss, the sting of rejection, the heaviness of anxiety, or the quiet despair of feeling stuck. Unlike a broken bone, it doesn’t show up on an X-ray. But it’s real. And it matters.

In my coaching practice, I often meet people who are high-functioning on the outside but quietly struggling within. They’ve learned to mask their pain, to “power through,” to keep going. But healing doesn’t come from ignoring what hurts. It comes from acknowledging it, understanding it, and gently working through it.

This book explores how this type of pain also needs to be tended to.
In an accelerating world run by machines and immediate reward, feeling deeply is a sign of caring, and a sign of strength.

It is a signal—not a sentence. It’s your mind and body asking for attention, care, and change.

Whether you're navigating burnout, self-doubt, grief, or a major life transition, you don’t have to do it alone.

Coaching can offer a safe, structured space to explore what’s beneath the surface and begin the journey toward clarity, resilience, and renewal.

✨ Healing begins with awareness. Growth begins with support.

If this resonates with you or someone you know, I invite you to reach out. Let’s talk.

Tea with your monsters?

I’ve been there too.

I wasn’t always a coach.
I’ve also sipped my teas—and wrestled—many times with the same overwhelm, imposter feelings, and “am I doing enough?” spirals that so many of my clients face.

I know what it’s like to look like you’ve got it all together on the outside…
To care deeply—and still feel stuck.
That’s part of what drew me to coaching.
Not to fix people. But to offer the kind of space I wish I had back then:
Honest. Human. Not about having all the answers.

If you’re in that place right now, just know:
You’re not alone → It’s part of being human.
You’re not broken → Many feel this way. There is more to life than fear.
And it can get easier → And I’m here for it.

Why “later” rarely comes.

Why ‘later’ rarely comes. Sounds familiar?

It’s Tuesday.
Maybe your calendar’s already overflowing.
Maybe you’re telling yourself “I’ll think about this later.”
Totally normal.

But here’s why it sounds familiar: later is sneaky.
DIY coaching is like buying the running shoes… and never going for the jog.
You could do it later.
But how often does “later” quietly turn into never?
I see this all the time:
Smart, capable people stuck in loops of overthinking, second-guessing, or waiting for the “right” moment.

The real talk is that change doesn’t need a grand plan.
It just needs a starting point.

Coaching isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about pausing with purpose—and deciding that now is good enough.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll do it later,” consider this your Tuesday nudge.

Let’s talk. No pressure—just a space to start.

Maybe you’ve been thinking you’d like some of that spark back…

What do you get when you work with me?

Maybe you’ve been thinking you’d like some of that spark back.
That there has to be more than this.

Well, the weekend is here to give you a little space to think. :)

So… what do you get when we work together?
Coaching is a partnership.
Whether it’s 1:1 exec coaching or team interventions, we design together for real change—not checklists.

Because let’s be honest: most of us don’t need more to do.
We need space to slow down, think clearly, and get unstuck.
My coaching isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you see what’s already working, what’s getting in the way—and what’s next.

Sometimes that means deep conversations about leadership.
Sometimes it’s practical tools for your team.
Sometimes it’s just having someone in your corner who gets it.

If you’re feeling stretched, stuck, or like something’s just off—you don’t have to figure it out alone.
This is the work I love.
Let’s make it feel a little lighter, together.

“My team just doesn’t get it.”

Ever heard a manager say this?

“My team just doesn’t get it.”
In a session last week, a manager admitted, “Honestly, I feel like my employees are just... stupid.”
Oof. That’s a tough one to hear. But we didn’t flinch—we got curious.
What we uncovered was powerful.

Underneath that frustration was a deeper truth:
➡️ He felt unsupported.
➡️ He was drowning in pressure.
➡️ He didn’t know how to actually communicate what he needed.

It wasn’t about his team. It was about his disconnect—from himself, from others, from what kind of leader he wanted to be.

We didn’t jump to feedback models or performance plans.
We started with awareness. Ownership. Compassion.
Because when leaders shift from blame to self-inquiry, everything changes.
✨ From “they don’t get it”
→ To “what am I not seeing?”
That’s where growth begins.

Ever had a moment like that—on either side of the conversation?
If you're ready to explore that kind of shift—for yourself or your team—I'm here to support the next step.

Metamorphosis & Coaching

🐛🦋 Feeling stuck isn’t failure — it’s compression before the leap.
You’re not lazy. You’re not lost.
You’re *mid-metamorphosis.*

I work with people who know something needs to shift, but can’t quite name it yet.

I urge you to ask: What if you’re moving forward, even if you feel stuck?
What if this in-between space is a gift to understand it is time for you to change something?

Coaching isn’t advice. It’s a mirror, a pressure valve, and space for you to move towards your own truth.

I’ve opened up space for a few 15-minute chemistry calls — low stakes, high honesty. Come if you’re curious…

You bring your ‘stuck.’ I’ll bring the questions.

The Power of Vulnerability in Coaching

In the realm of coaching, vulnerability is not a weakness but a profound strength. It is the cornerstone of building a meaningful and effective coaching relationship.
When individuals allow themselves to be vulnerable, they open the door to genuine personal growth and transformation.

A *strong personal connection and trust* between a coach and a client are essential. This bond fosters an environment where clients feel safe to share their deepest thoughts and challenges. Trust is built through consistent, empathetic interactions, and it is the foundation upon which successful coaching is constructed.

To strengthen this, *confidentiality is a critical aspect of coaching* . Clients need to know that their conversations with their coach are private and secure. This assurance allows them to be open and honest, facilitating deeper insights and more effective coaching outcomes.

To ensure that potential clients feel comfortable and confident in their coaching journey, I offer a free 10-15 minute chemistry call.
