Chaos always accompanies change; it is only a matter of to which degree. Accepting that chaos will always be present actually makes it easier to bear. These seven questions can help you pivot when life throws you a curve ball:
I help people find out what they love, and then how to get more of that. So I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you:
Ilovemy job.
I love helping people find satisfaction + joy in the everyday lives they lead. I love the Aha! of new perspectives, and the times I can invite: "Be yourself. You are delightful, just being you. Let's find out how to make that work!"
Twice a month, I run my popular Personal Values workshop on a pay-what-you-like basis, because our most uncertain moments can also be times of financial hardship.
These past 3 years, I've made some difficult choices. The hardest ones are always important choices between things that are both good -- or both bad.
But: when I clearly lay out what I value, the decision-making is easier.
I learned as a coach: when choices align with what matters to me I sleep well, I don't second-guess myself. (I used to be a worrier! It's astonishing, now that I think about it)
One of the most valuable lessons from my 17-year journey as a #lifeCoach has been:
When I clearly lay out what I value, decision-making is easier.
Mind you, the hardest decisions remain: important choices between things that are both good, or both bad.

Sometimes a client struggles to meet conflicting expectations. I'll say: just blurt out what you really want. (It's a fun moment; I have no idea what they'll say!)
▪ The tired lawyer really want to open a bakery!
▪ The angry tester wants to shout You betrayed my trust!
▪ The bored creative wants to do work that makes the world safer for their children.
When you find yourself in a situation that isn’t fully aligned with your preferred or desired outcomes, remember:
• Look for the light
• Conserve your resources
• Celebrate your beauty
• Be ruthless when it comes to protecting your energy
• Seek support where you need it
• If you need to find safe harbor for a season, do so
There is always someone who will help you. Seek them out.
When you finally recognize and embrace your unique power and perspective, then opportunities to flex those skills present themselves. You have a responsibility to yourself to step into opportunities that expand your range of influence. How does the power of fear tether us, keeping us from fulfilling our potential?
At one point in my past, I had experienced “George Bailey on a bridge on Christmas Eve’ levels of despair. I was in a really dark space mentally, and wasn’t sure if I would or could ever be happy again.
But I could, and I am. Here’s how I did it, and how I can help you:
Pay attention to the patterns in your life. Which ones serve you? Which ones are unhealthy? The good news is that YOU are the one who creates those patterns, so you are the one who can change them if you wish.

Once in awhile, it’s recommended that you let your brain roam a bit outside the traditional boundaries where it spends most of its day. This excerpt from my book occurs a little over halfway through the volume, which is written as a day-by-day habit changer. Let’s see where it takes us today.
