If I am being brutally honest with you (and myself) when I first decided on closing my coaching calendars in August and got a part-time gig at my favorite local coffee shop I wasn’t entirely sure it would be an actual hiatus. I was so burnt out that I couldn’t even see myself feeling well enough to return to this deep work that I once loved so much — the work that everyone has always told me I was meant for.
Writing this now, I am having flashbacks to being in our crowded training room in Toronto. A fellow classmate made eyes at me from across the room, trying to flag me down with hand signals so we could be partners when it was time for the next break out session — “I just had to be with you for this technique! I love your energy so much!”
Being meant for something can feel like a lot of pressure. It is also a deep honor that this work found me, chose me. I do not take it lightly. This work has moved me so deeply since the beginning.
The funny thing about coaching is that if I am not feeling well enough, I do not trust myself to hold the kind of space that I know my clients deserve. Choosing this path has ultimately been me choosing to deepen the way I care for myself too, again and again. It requires me to maintain a level of self-awareness for my overall well-being so that when it comes time to open the Zoom room — I can be radically neutral, removed from all forms of self-centeredness, present to the palpable potential for transformation.
Not only have I learned how much I love and miss coaching from my time away, I have recommitted to taking deep-nourishing-care of myself. So that I can come back stronger. Serve deeper. And co-create pure magic with my clients.
Last night on Instagram I shared my new Spring Offerings — the feedback and excitement I’ve received from folks has been humbling. I am just so excited! And Taj told me today that there is a sparkle in my eyes again!
I have to laugh at myself a little bit — lol — like I know that I am sharing offerings and maybe it *should* be all about you, the potential client…but I’m letting it be about me too. It’s about both of us after all ! This announcement has felt like such a homecoming. And I just know we are going to have a glorious new season together.
