Compassion Fatigue: How Prevent or Heal It To Keep You in the Game
“I’m actually afraid to tell you what I have to say, because I’m so afraid you will tell me that I was just not meant to be a trauma coach.” Those were words from one of my interns this week. But I’ve heard it from thousands of people through the years. The only difference was […]
Inspiration to Catapult You Into Creating An Amazing Year!
“It’s no accident that you and I sat together. It’s been a very serendipitous, 20 minutes for me,” my new friend said to me in the hospital waiting room. I had been waiting to see my nephew who had just been born. He was saying last goodbyes to his grandmother. It just began with a […]
Did You Hear? I’m Opening A SPA!
YES! I’m opening a SPA … but before we get there … let me share my passion and my vision! “Do you really think you can make a significant difference in the amount of people struggling with trauma? I mean trauma is everywhere! It’s overwhelming, and I just don’t want you to be disappointed.” I […]
You Are Not Unfixable! No One Is!
“I truly believed I was unfixable. I believed my flaws were hardwired in a way that could never be reversed.” This is the place where I normally say: “My client said” or “My client moaned as they plopped into a chair in my office.” This week it’s different. This week I’ve been challenged by a […]
LAUNCHING INTO THE EXTRAORDINARILY ABUNDANT LIFE YOU HAVE DRAFTED!
“WHEW! I got all that work done, but I didn’t miss what you said at the end of our last session,” my client came back for an unexpected session. “I know you said that drafting the greatest plan in the world with remarkable strategies…without massive, immediate action was nothing more than a waste of time! That […]
The Purposeful DRAFTing of An Extraordinary Year
“You can just call me ‘doubting Thomas’ if you want to. For three years, I’ve heard you talk about drifting and thought it was a little bit clever. But I still allowed myself to drift through them.” I commented, “Realizing that, and showing up here doesn’t not sound like a ‘doubting Thomas’ to me.” She […]
DRAFTing vs. DRIFTING to Who Knows Where
“It’s a piece of wood that’s been drifting out on the ocean. Came from nowhere and is going nowhere, and it finally came to shore to be burnt up as firewood. So, we call it driftwood.” That was the answer my dad gave me as a little girl. We were walking on the beach, and […]
Harnessing the Power of Love
“Love maintains the power to do the right thing…even if it doesn’t feel like it…” Stephen and Alex Kendrick I read this in my inspired reading one morning recently. Perfect timing. Little did I know I would need it later that day. “I can’t help my response when I think she’s accusing me,” the husband […]
Desperate To Know Our Stories Matter
“We are all desperate to know that our stories make a difference!” It was one of the most powerful statements I heard this weekend. It was my privilege to be in Washington, DC for the annual gala event for the Museum Of The Bible. I was blown away by the museum, just 3 1/2 blocks […]
Gratitude: What A Way to Live!
“I’ve read a lot of your stuff, and I know that you’re going to talk to me about gratitude. It’s a theme for you. And I appreciate that. But what is gratitude going to do for me in this lonely holiday season?” My new client asked with a shaky sound of desperation in her voice. […]
