Wellness Refocused Coaching and Consulting
Your experiences matter.
How was work today? It's really a small sentence and without any context it's silly, pointless and small talk for most conversations. I've been a health coach for three years. I can't believe it's been that long and that short. Individually, I've worked with almost 100 women in that time. Since I started small group… Continue reading Chasing Real
That's what I call it. When I feel I want to run away and leave reality behind for a few moments. The great escape. When I was kid, like little, I was terrible at reading. It was something I had to practice over and over and over. This is something that greatly influenced how I… Continue reading Getting Unstuck
I have been writing this for over a month. I stop and I start. I step away. I start again. I save, I shut down. I have done so much writing in my journal lately. August was the month to bring it the mountain and sit there and write. I went 6 times and did… Continue reading Your beliefs can change
What the actual fuck. Last week a friend of mine went to their new therapist and was asked about self-care. Did they practice it? They were then asked, did they love themselves. Self-care is tricky because like all things that are gray, it's different for everyone. Gender norms can play a role. Geography can play… Continue reading “You need to love yourself more”…
JP tells me all the time that I'm bad at spending money. I don't buy things I want, but worse - I don't always buy things I need. It's easy for me to buy a new dress for a wedding, but trust me when I say I shop the sale rack, I check for coupons… Continue reading 2 bits
I woke up this morning and it just felt odd. There's usually a day or a two a week that we struggle to get out of bed - I honestly don't know where that came from. It never used to be that way. Morning workouts were so easy, but it's a new life. This morning… Continue reading Relax
Last year I was talking with a friend about health coaching and how I work with clients. We talked a lot about the mental health aspect of health and I said it was important to help them navigate some of the tough questions and then refer when things go out of your scope. She told… Continue reading Being half-in is a disservice
I had this whole post planned out. I wrote about 800 words and then deleted most of it. So. Tomorrow's June. I don't know where spring went, but I'm really looking forward to gin and tonics and sun and corn on the cob and Kansas City. It's the end of day 92 into prepping for… Continue reading Day 92 – I actually really like my body
Growing up in the 90s, I think there are a lot of us that think back or sing back to songs and realize that the lyrics are not what we remember. First song that come to mind...Five's When the Light's Go Out. Second song - Spice Girls' Wannabe. Third song - Backstreet Boys' As Long… Continue reading I hope I never find someone who loves me like you
It’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Mother’s Day is this month. The BBQ’s start. The pools will open. The sun is finally staying around longer than sunrise. I know that what I’m about to talk about isn’t a privilege for everyone for one reason or another. It's not lost on me when I talk about mental… Continue reading Opting out
