Grace and The Middle Path

 

 

I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of Grace lately. In the context of what it looks like to receive it, and also in the context of how to give it to others, and how to give it to yourself more. 

 

I always do this thing at the beginning of every new year and I choose a theme or word for the year, this year my word is Grace - and boy, have I come back to it again and again. It’s been fascinating to see how the word or theme I choose coincides with just what I need. Last year, I chose the word Harmony, and it was fitting with all the things that I needed to cut out of my life that were causing some dissonance. 

 

The year before that, I chose the phrase Vibrantly Serve, and that was so neat because I was building my coaching business and nurturing it from its roots, as I went all in with serving, the practice grew to a sweet spot where I feel so happy about being able to help as many people as possible while I get to serve through...

Five Midlife Decisions Ahead of Time

 

I read a quote that stopped me in my tracks, it said, “Ten years from now, you’d give anything to be this age again, this healthy, this cute, and have this time again.

But if you’re interested in still finding purpose,  maybe it's overcoming loneliness, or setting yourself up for success with coping with empty nest syndrome, and embracing life to thrive after children leave, then you’re going to love this episode.” 

 

Stevie Nicks said it best… “well i’ve been afraid of changin’ / cause I built my life around you / but time makes you bolder / even children get older / and I’m getting older too…”

Perfectionist Assumptions, Illusions, and Someday Thinking

I had an interesting conversation with another musician friend the other day, she said that she loved listening to my podcast over and over, and that she gained new insights with each listen.

 

It struck me that there are layers to this work and to the things I’m teaching here on the podcast. Our brains change every day, every week, and so it makes sense how we see things on a deeper level with repetition.

 

She said she wanted to start a podcast but was too scared and we talked about how it is a big deal, putting your voice and your ideas out there, but it’s worth it.

 

And all of this led to the topic of perfectionism. This is something I coach myself on a lot, both as a musician, as a mother wanting to be the best mom I can be, and with body image. I see it in my clients as a life coach as well, how prone we are to perfectionism and so I want to share these lessons I’ve learned with you today.
