Wellness Refocused Coaching and Consulting
Your experiences matter.
When I started my own health journey over a decade ago, it was because I felt like I had no control. Over the course of a month, I had learned that my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and had a few months to live, a long-term relationship ended, my grandmother died and the holidays happened.… Continue reading Free write #2 – External validation can lead to internal acceptance
For the past few days, I've been thinking about a conversation I had with client. For context, we're working on developing her business foundation. This means we're discussing her personal values and how those show up in her coaching practice. We've talked about her coaching mission and how that informs her services. We also have… Continue reading Breaking Free: Navigating the Intersection of Self-Worth and Business Success in the World of Coaching
I wish this was a warm and fuzzy post, but it's not going to be. It's some thoughts that I've been sitting with for a while and as Hanukkah is approaching I found myself feeling ready to get out of my head and on the screen. Over the years I've learned so much about myself,… Continue reading Navigating My Jewish Identity: Reflections on Ancestry, Religion, and the Challenges of Today
Let's reevaluate our concept of exercise. It doesn't strictly mean workouts in a gym. This post underlines all movement as important, and encourages establishing realistic goals while considering your lifestyle. I give some tips and talk about what I've done this year when change made sense too.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I'm sure a lot of you noticed a lot of posts about mental health on May 1st. I know my feed was full of people openly talking about their stories. I'm a little late to the party because I've been thinking about what to say. I appreciate "health focused"… Continue reading Mental Health Awareness Month
A few years ago I started blogging and journaling what I was taking with me into the new year, and what I was leaving behind. In past years, I've left fear. In some years, I brought it with me into a new year by accident. I've brought bravery, writing, laughter. I brought baking and lifting… Continue reading Take it or leave it
I actually love seeing everyone’s top 5. Music is a type of expression and the music we choose to listen to can tell a lot about us, or maybe it doesn’t and I just over think everything. But it definitely shows us sides of people we never get a chance to see. One of my… Continue reading Spotify wrap up
One thing I love that a lot of poets do on the open mic is declare that they're performing new shit. If life is a stage, then I would've said it every day last year. Something that I'm coming to terms with - almost a year later, is how significant the transitions I've gone through… Continue reading Traveling Man: Everything is new, – new therapist, new job, new routine
When the morning is quiet I hear everything. I used to hate this, now it only kind of annoys me. The fridge is humming. The water is shifting in the pipes. Birds are outside. My pulse in my ear sounds like the ocean. My breathing - sometimes steady, sometimes sounding forced, but not quite like… Continue reading Traveling Man: Toss it in the dumpster and light it on fire
I've deleted this post a few times. I’ve been writing it for about a month. At one point it was 500 words - I had punched in out in 10 minutes and then sat back and thought, no, this isn't what I want to say. That happens from time to time. Maybe it's because the… Continue reading Traveling Man: Growth, Resiliency and Identity
