Does this sound familiar?

You’ve worked so hard to get where you’re at in your career… but it’s not making you happy.

You feel like you should know what you should do next … but you keep going around and around on the options.

You know you have a lot to contribute … but you can’t seem to get unstuck and on the right track.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve no doubt heard me talk about crossroads moments. They are at the heart of my coaching … because it’s most often at this moment that people come to work with me.

A crossroads moment is that moment when you sense that the path you’re currently on … and where it’s leading you, is not the right one for you.

Whenever we decide to make a change, we simply can’t entirely control the outcome. The world is always full of the unexpected and we can’t anticipate everything that might happen.

But what if, on top of that uncertainty that always comes with change, you also have a pair of “golden handcuffs”?

“When I hit 50, I realized that there were so many things that I wanted to do and I didn't even realize that I wanted to do them. And by just verbalizing to my trainer that I've always wanted to do a triathlon, I never really realized I wanted to do it until I said it to him. Just opened up this whole I guess it opened up the mindset that just, you know, life is too short. It's fleeting.” - Lisa Alfano

I’m not a fan of goal setting. I’m a life coach who sometimes struggles to define the SMART goal acronym. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love to make plans and think about how to improve things in the future. I am a total self-development nerd. 

Yet, over the years, I’ve found that the practice of goal setting feels so constrictive. Do you ever get the feeling when you’re setting goals that you’re just setting yourself up for future failure and disappointment?

You’ve made the big decision.

You’re taking the big leap.

Now it’s time to let people know… it’s time for you to have some brave conversations, but where do you start?

It is so important to keep working on your ability to have tough conversations if you’d like to live a life that really expresses you and your values.

It could be that you’ve decided to move to a new city, and it’s time to break the news to your family and friends.

It could be that you’ve decided to make a career switch, and it’s time to tell your boss and colleagues.

It could be that you’re taking a sabbatical break and it’s time to tell everybody at work – and your family and friends.

Fixes for those moments in life when your routine is dragging your down and you need a fresh take on what’s good in life.

Long, tiring days of juggling work responsibilities and kids fighting bedtime led to me feeling completely drained of energy and wanting to snack at night before bed. We all have competing demands that take up our time. How do we make time for ourselves and prioritize our health? And what if we keep struggling to meet our health and fitness goals over long periods of time?

A question that is becoming increasingly relevant is: How do you keep going after your most important goals for life and work, even through the most difficult times? What can help you weather the setbacks and tumult out of your control as you go after your most important dreams?

We are swiftly approaching the end of the year, and I want to put an invitation out to you: I would love to work with you in 2023. My signature program is Catalyst Coaching, which is six months of private coaching and mentoring that helps you clarify what you really want to do next, and supports you as you start to go in that new, more aligned direction.

It is so important from time to time, to take a step back to see how well your job FITS you.

You might be wondering … why does this matter? Well to help us understand that, I’m going to share a little about my favourite fashion expert…

People around me don't really support my dreams, what do I do?

First off, if you're feeling this, it's pretty typical.

When you’re trying to make a big change or go after a longtime dream, you'll likely find that some of the people in your life just don't get it.

The topic of Energy is one of my favorites. The idea of managing our energy has become one of my deepest interests because of how necessary it is when it comes to living a more intentional life, a life that reflects your values and your dreams.

Because frankly none of that is possible if you just don’t have the energy to take it on.

The air is getting crisper and it’s nearly time to get out the cozy sweaters!

If you're feeling ready to curl up with a good book, I want to make sure you know about the three books below.

These books have been transforming the way I think about to live a happy and peaceful life in a complicated world.
