Don't let your feelings pile up like laundry
|
Last year we redid our guest bedroom. I had visions of a blissful hotel room, always looking perfect and welcoming. You can probably guess what’s next . . You know the clean laundry pile? The one that starts as a neat little stack you promise to yourself you’ll put away later, but somehow by the end of the week, it’s turned into a mountain of clothes you’re now dreading to tackle? That’s what’s usually sitting on our hotel-like bed in our welcoming guest room. Our thoughts and feelings can pile up just the same.
This week, pick one feeling you’ve been avoiding. Name it, and put it where it belongs. And see how much clearer everything looks when you don’t let it stack up. If you’d like support as you start tackling the mental clutter, I’d love to help you. My 1:1 coaching is all about helping you move forward with less overwhelm and more ease.

Whatever you’re aiming for right now, a big career change, a personal goal, a relationship shift, chances are, you’re going to hit a stretch where it’s...
Have you noticed how common it is these days to type out frustration online? To share the things that annoy us, disappoint us, or make us feel unseen, often without naming names, and definitely without inviting a response? Venting has its place. I’ve been thinking about the difference between broadcasting and connecting. Change doesn’t happen in the comments section of social media. The next time you’re tempted to post a cryptic message on social media, please stop and think. Change and...
Over the weekend, I completed a 70.3 triathlon after not having done one for six years. It was tough, cold (and then hot), and it was long. And at times, definitely uncomfortable. And it was exactly what I needed. I’m four weeks out from Ironman Austria which has been on my calendar (and in my mind) for almost a year now. This 70.3 was a stepping stone. Not a comfort zone. It reminded me what it feels like to push through the hard parts, and to keep going when it stops being fun. To get...
