Wellness Refocused Coaching and Consulting
Your experiences matter.
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
There are times I sit at my computer and I know exactly what I want to say. There are mornings like this where I've started a post, and deleted it over and over and over. Today's deleted topics include: sharing a blog post I wrote for class on conflicts of interest in dietary recommendations, talking… Continue reading Free write #1 – Urgency
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.

Tuesday was the first gym session since January meaning first time at a gym that isn’t my living room or my garage gym. It was also the first one since surgery. Monday I went on a birthday hike and did over 7 miles - not intended, but clearly what I needed. I’ve been pretty mobile… Continue reading One week out + gym time
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.
