In this podcast episode, I talk about journaling for clarity - or journaling to figure out what you want or what you think about something.

I discuss the common mistake I see people make + I mention 16 questions that you can use to inspire your journaling. Here they are!

I talk to a lot of people who are in the process of figuring out what they want. There's often one thing that I’m listening for — or feeling for — in those conversations, and that is: “because I want to.”

So in this podcast episode, I clarify what I mean by this and share why this is helpful + address some of the objections I suspect you’re probably already having.

Today in this podcast episode, I am answering a question from a newsletter subscriber.

Alexine asks: How do you check in with yourself before making a major move to check it's not "grass is greener" syndrome?

In this podcast episode, I share with you my new favorite practice — that's not journaling.

I discovered it about a month ago when I was feeling pretty discouraged. I was frustrated with myself and I wanted to find a way to pull myself out of that moment. Typically, I'd do some journaling in that kind of moment — but it wasn't possible, and I also didn't *want* to.

I suspect that many of you reading this have emergency funds, IRA's, and ETF portfolios.

I also suspect that you may be living "month-to-month," when it comes to your energy. You never seem to have much reserves, and you're always just a smidge stressed, tired, or frantic.

Is there some area of your life that doesn't come "naturally"? Maybe it's some element of your work, parenthood, friendship, marriage, or even a hobby.

If so, this podcast episode is for you.

We want to be skillful at something, and we want it to come easily. And when it’s hard, when we work for it, we can feel frustrated and insecure.

I was working with two clients (who are both leaders and managers) in the past week, and I was giving them both very similar coaching.

Whenever that happens, I think: I should make a podcast about this.

(Think this episode doesn't apply to you because you aren't an official "manager"? I define leadership quite broadly, so there's a good chance the ideas I share will be helpful to you, too.)

In this episode, I’m sharing an interview with my client Edward. Edward is a husband, a father of four, an avid traveler, and a business owner and consultant.

In our interview, he shares how he felt like his life was pretty good, but also felt off in ways he couldn't put his finger on.

This podcast episode is about reading, and how to help yourself read more.

I love reading, but that’s actually not why I’m making the argument for doing it more.

It’s because reading satisfies a very tricky set of conditions, in our modern lives: something that you can do, when you are completely exhausted, that does not have problematic side effects — and may actually make your life better.

I coach on clarity — or figuring out what you want — a lot.

I’ve realized recently there’s one thing that gets in the way of clarity with almost every client, at one point or another.

And that obstacle is: thinking too much about implementation before clarity is established.

Today in this podcast episode, I offer an idea that came up - as so many of my favorite ideas do - in working with one of my clients.

That idea is: adaptability.

I’ve been coaching for a decade now, and my business has grown quite a bit. I frequently get asked about how I grew my business, how I run it now, and how I think about the business of coaching.

In today’s episode of my podcast, I answer some of these questions, as well as give a short summary of the state of my business.

Today, I'm answering another question in today's podcast episode from a newsletter subscriber. Emily asks:

“When do you know if it's the right time for a career change? or How to deal with rejection?”

In the self-development space, there's often so much content about "seizing the new year."

I can sometimes find it exhausting, so today, I wanted to share a shortie podcast episode with an idea that you might not even use just yet. Today, let's talk about travel.

I share the story of how I realized this little idea was worth sharing + a little more about how I implement it.

If you’re starting to dream about the new year, I want to propose something that would significantly improve your year in this podcast episode: Start a women’s group in 2025.

In today's episode, I'm giving you examples of some tweaks you can make when you might not have the most time for self-care.

We are approaching a very particular time of year. There are holidays, extra activities and events, and it’s a lot. So today I’m sharing what to do when you’re not going to fucking meditate. Or do three pages of fucking journaling. Or take an hour-long fucking walk.

In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing a concept that helps keep me feeling grounded, with hopes you can start feeling held by the world too.

Today I want to share about "feeling held by the world." It's a desire, or need, that underlies many other problems - if you're frustrated in your friendships, if you can never be as productive as you might like - this might be a concept that helps you in unexpected ways.

I am answering another newsletter subscriber question today. Camilla asked:

“I’ve just gotten divorced and not worked for some time while we relocated abroad and tried for a family. I have to get back to work but I’m scared and worry about how to communicate my career gap.”

Camilla's question is about charting a new path after a divorce, but I think it's also a question about much broader themes: how to figure out our next steps at any season of our lives, and how to balance our future needs with our current needs.

In this podcast episode, we're going over how to maintain friendships when you are exhausted and overwhelmed.

Today I’m answering another question from a newsletter subscriber. J asks: “How do I find time and energy for friendship when I'm exhausted by work and parenting?”

In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about why a non-logical decision might actually be more productive for you. Here’s something I’ve said to three different clients just this week:

It might not be a logical decision.

(At least not in the way that you think).
