New Insights Life Coaching

Great group coaching session today. It held space for understanding, vulnerability and a collaborative discussion that built upon the previous sessions, moving things forward so beautifully.

Gosh I love what I do AND I get paid to do it! 💜

For confidentiality reasons, Hera needed to stay in the basement during our session. However, she felt it important to have a presence as I took a picture to share with you. Her strengths lie in being persuasive. 😁

You might be waking up tomorrow morning thinking you’re sad Thanksgiving is over or wondering how you made it through.

Either way, I’m hopeful there were well seasoned morsels and sweet moments.

Yay for dessert! 🧁

Thanks for being with me on this journey through life, whether for a short leg or the full length, I’m grateful to have you with me.

May the holiday season commence!

Wishing you ease, always!

When I’m overloaded...

~ I just don’t function well.

~ I devour information instead of digesting it.

~ I look for confirmation of my concerns vs. learning.

When I’m selective...

~ I stay in charge of where my curiosity takes me.

~ I’m calmer and more apt to have a handle on my state of mind.

Wishing you ease, always 💜

 Sometimes things, like radical acceptance, sound great in theory and the question of “but how,” often comes up.

 I respond by doing things that ground me physically.

 I brace my core with Pilates.

 I weight train to build muscle and strength.

 I meditate, following my breath as it guides me.

 I listen to my body and rest when I need.

 I support myself bodily to build resilience as I accept the things I don’t like.

 Something my mother-in-law used to love to say was, "well, here we are, and this is it."

 It would drive me mad as I heard resignation and a disconnection from all things that led to an outcome.

 However, over the years I've come to realize the wisdom in these words and the power they hold.

 My recent newsletter dives into the ways we can accept something we don’t like and still move forward.

 Message me and I’ll send you a copy!

 Wishing you ease always! 💜

In this month's newsletter I'm talking about the secret life of people-pleasers and how to have boundaries, making your own happiness a priority. I provide a brief case study along with some ideas to help you choose a new, more conscious approach that considers you.

People pleasing can be hard to overcome. As someone who is a helper, I know the pitfalls well.

Message me or email me at: [email protected] so I can send you the article.

Allow the recognition of this piece of yourself to be a jumping off point, a new awareness that encourages you to try a different way of considering yourself while being kind to others. You deserve the attention.

From May 13th - 19th, I’ll be celebrating the power and impact of professional coaching during International Coaching Week . This global event encourages individuals and organizations all over the world to understand, explore, test and discover the possibilities coaching provides.

I've created a few limited pro bono offerings for those serious about seeing real change in their lives. Send me a DM if you'd like to hear more.

And remember, look ahead because that's the direction in which you're going! 💜

Whew! We made it to the other side of the holidays! So much build up, the flurry of the season and then the coast down after turning the corner of the year.

What am I most grateful for? The gift of living my life with those I love and my health. Recently I did annual bloodwork and saw a shift in some of the results. I am very healthy and, having lived with an autoimmune disease since my 20s, there are certain processes in my body that, if left unattended, could put me on a path to unwanted health conditions as I age. Once again, my friend Choice came a-knockin'.

Send me a note for a full copy of this month’s newsletter to learn why I chose nourishment that reflected my values instead of bread, ice cream and chocolate covered almonds.
And as I choose to take responsibility for myself and the path I travel, I look ahead because that’s the direction in which I’m going.

If you would like to join me, discover your values, and have them guide you in the coming year as you outline your goals, intentions, and dreams, let’s talk and begin guiding you forward. Message me and we can start the conversation.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year! 💜

Now that we have crossed the bridge of Thanksgiving into the holiday season, having barely digested my turkey feast, cleaned up from a flurry of Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving entertaining, I saw myself sprinting towards holiday decorations and readying myself for the Channukah and Christmas season.

Slowing my pace by allowing decorating to unfold at a manageable pace, choosing quality over quantity, maintaining the meaningful traditions, saying no when I really mean no and gifting myself in little ways.

Go easily this holiday season, let go of the "musts" and make way for the simple joys. 💜

Living in the Hudson Valley, I revel every year in the beauty of the change of seasons and I’m also reminded of this season of life. As I celebrate my 58th birthday this month, I feel like the clocks have been sped up as compared to my younger years. Time flies by and as my boys enjoy their expanding independence, I’m once again recognizing a moment of reinvention and a charting of new paths in my life. 🌟

In this month’s newsletter I explore the topic of this Season of Life: Navigating the Second Half, thinking about things like work, play, wellness, and purpose. Click here https://lnkd.in/euHri32 to share your email with me and I’ll send you a copy of my article as well as the questions prompting meaningful food for thought. I will be incorporating your insights into a series of articles over the next many months as we explore and discover our own just right direction forward.

Join me and others as we chart our course forward for the next leg of our journeys. I welcome having you with us!
