Why I hated goals
Why I hated goals There was a time in my life when I HATED goals. I rejected the idea of them. I hated how I felt pressured by them. I felt like goals just said to me: “you aren’t doing enough. you need to do more.” And for someone who knows how to push themself…

To be new
To be new I’ve heard it from several people lately. They say, “there are a LOT of coaches out there.” And yes, we do seem to be numerous. If you ask me for my qualifications, I’ll tell you I am trained and certified. I’ve been doing this work since 2022. And yes that means I’m…
