There’s where we are right now and where we want to be. Or, who we are right now and who we wish to be. Or, how. There’s always a gap between the life we have and the life we wish to live. That is the exact thing that generates the energy of life. With each...

I was out paddling today. It was a beautiful day—unseasonably warm, hardly any breeze, and not a cloud in the sky. It was just me, another kayaker, a paddleboarder, and a few folks out fishing. And quite a few ducks. It’s been a while since I’ve been out on the...

So, I’m curious how you feel about this topic I raised—the belief that you can do ANYTHING. Now that you’ve had a few days to consider it, and I’ve introduced the idea that to be at your BEST and MOST CREATIVE self, you need to practice self-care and well-being, like...

If I’m smart enough, resourceful enough, and good enough, shouldn’t I be able to fix “my stuff” myself? I want to ask you to consider your question this way—if you don’t fix “your stuff” yourself, is that proof that you are not smart enough, resourceful...

How can coaching help me? When you’ve been following “The Rules” and doing what you’ve been told to do your whole life, yet you don’t like where it’s gotten you and where you’ve wound up—unhappy, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled—well, then it’s time for a...
