Life is a journey - enjoy the ride! A phrase I've adopted and shared, yet I had little preparation for life's changes this year. Practicing what I coach others to do, I reflected and took an internal peak into my motivations, passions, and hopes for the future. I wanted more of my work and life to match …
Self Care: Looking Inward
In wanting to envision the future…sometimes it’s easy to neglect taking care of self and being present to now. Thank you Morgan!

What is Self Care?
Self care is the practice of taking intentional action to care for one’s physical, mental, or emotional health.
Why is it important?

In the book, the question is posed to her by Pete Carroll, coach of the Seattle Seahawks (professional football). This question is focused on what are you trying to get out of your life. And over the course of two days, I’ve watch several videos/talks addressing “passion” and my favorite is by Brian Johnson of Philosopher’s note:

Light for the journey
A cloudy sky hung over Greensboro, North Carolina a week in May when peer Life Design Catalysts and I explored our life stories. We creatively expressed what meaningful work looked like for us at the most recent LDC training and workshop. Academic persistence and life success for college students was the impetus for many of …
Curiosity about Purpose
What was I called to do with my life? A bit lost when my mother passed away about 6 years ago, and not clear about life with my children out of the house and job unsettled; curiosity about coaching and education took me to finding my life purpose in new ways! And while it was …
