Speaking your Truth

Are your requests really unreasonable?

October 23, 2010

I recently wrote an article for my eZine on non-attachment. In it, I tell the story of a client who decided to live the motto, “What will be, will be”. Empowering, right? Well, sort of. He took that laid-back, wait and watch stance to mean that he should stop choosing, stop creating, and start reacting. Reacting rather than [...]

Whose Underwear are you Wearing?

August 17, 2010

Isn’t it cool that there are people who are really passionate about algebra? And chemistry and dry cleaning and accounting?

What’s the Value in Values?

May 22, 2010

I used to think that life coaches who focused on values were traditional, overly simplistic, and hokey. The practice of having clients check values from a checklist reminded me of some meaningless exercise from Psych 101. Don’t people just know their values and naturally live accordingly?
