Coaching Call – I Cant Get Out Of Crisis Mode

May 25, 2023

Friends, today you are going to meet Grace. Grace is struggling with something a LOT of us can relate to: How do you become your most powerful Self when you are recovering from a long season of stress, crisis, and debilitating fear. How do you bring calm, creativity and clarity of thinking when you have been in survival mode for so long, you feel like you're constantly being shot out of a cannon? In other words, how do you function in peace time when your body has been geared for war?

You will also marvel at the generosity, honesty, and beauty in Grace's story and her experience. Can't wait to hear what you think!

Welcome to Monday! Every so often, I re-introduce what I consider to be a freakishly simple communication tactic into my repertoire. See if you can spot it in this story … Last night, I had a SUPER successful conversation with my teenager (no small feat). It went like this: I said, “Hey! How does it feel knowing you are one month away from being a senior?” Her eyes danced. She replied, “It’s SO weird. I feel like it’s not real.” I said with warmth in my voice, “You feel like it’s not real?”
