How I stay present when my clients are freaked out

Our explicit job in our businesses is to help, to serve, to support. Especially when our people are “in it.” Feeling tender, raw, and triggered as they work through the deep material.   These are the most important times to be resourced, loving, and present. And they’re the hardest ones!  It’s not trivial to stay centered in those moments. That’s what people pay me for. It’s the reason I can charge what I charge for coaching […]

Motherhood & Running a Business

We’re celebrating LIFE through art for my birthday this week! In honor of my greatest gift, baby Kanai, and the initiation into motherhood, my team created this stunning short film.  It’s gorgeous.

Why I Get Excited When My Clients Get Angry

It’s better for clients to be mad at you than to be mad at themselves.  The space of self-attack is never conducive to growth or transformation.  When clients are angry, especially with me, I ask them to tell me all about it.  While they tell me, I do my best to listen without doing anything about it.  I resist the temptation to express or even think thoughts that defend or protect or explain myself.  This […]
