My Superpower
My older brother would always tease me for being “too sensitive”It became a game of building defenses to avoid getting hurtI built walls, retreated, and insulated myself like a pro!In doing so, I gave up so muchTrustRelationshipsConfidenceFeeling

Perspective is everything
Can you see the future?Can you predict what will happen?Can you instead, imagine what is possible?
When we can pause and visualize what we desire, we grow one step closer to achieving it.
I love sharing the story of wanting wings about fifteen years ago.
I was sitting with a friend on a Friday afternoon, after a long week.She said "I'd like wings" (a simple statement for most)I responded "Yeah, that would be so cool, I'd love to fly and see the world from above" (eyes wide and dreamy)She said "I'm just hungry"I said "Oh" (completely deflated)
That is simply one example of where my mind goes when my clients speak about their lives.I get to envision their biggest dreams, their highest goals, their best possible selves and hold them until they grab on and run with it themselves.

I never knew
My client recently stated, “I never thought I could feel this free and relaxed”“I’ve always had something to consume my time; my students, my children, my ex, my mother”Always others to dedicate my time and energy to, to problem solve forOthers to live for and worry aboutOthers to serve and focus on
The energy and focus that is spent externally is generous and often necessaryYet, when that external focus becomes the only focus -you can lose yourselfWhen you pour yourself out there into the world, the vessel that was once you becomes a distant memory.When the vessel remains empty for too long there is little to support it
You must be fed, by love and support and things that sustain youEach of you have specific things that fulfill and sustain youIn order to put these back into place you need to know you are enoughTo know you are enough, you need to listen to the purest youThe you who has dreams, interests, feels alive and fulfilled from the inside
