He Said, She Said: Panic Attacks and Bouncing Back

This week I share my experience getting up close and personal with a panic attack. Angus shares an experience of sheer panic from years ago. It is amazing the power our thoughts have on our physiology as is our innate capacity to bounce back. It is such a relief to know we are designed to stabilize without any effort needed on our part. Seeing this makes it so much easier for me to surrender into what is -- at least more often. Add there is a good lesson on safe sex too!   Angus and Rohini are both coaches. They work with individuals,...

Don’t Miss Out on Life Waiting to Hear Your Wisdom

This week I had the pleasure of being a guest on Phil Goddard's The Coaching Life Podcast. At the end of the podcast he summed up a theme from the interview as the importance of listening for what is right for you and taking action on it. I wholeheartedly agree, but it does make it sound like I knew what I was doing all along. When in fact, much of the time, especially when I was younger, I was more of an impulsive risk taker rather than a reflective listener. What I see now as most important is recognizing my...

He Said, She Said: Separate Realities

Angus and I had a brutal encounter with separate realities on our hike. It left both of us feeling shaken. Neither of us did a good job of trying to find common ground with the other person. We were caught up in our position that he was doing something wrong. It gives us pause to reflect on how to navigate difference with compassion and understanding real-time.   Angus and Rohini are both coaches. They work with individuals, leaders and organizations to increase performance and success. They also love working with couples and helping them reduce conflict and discord so they can experience...

Inspiration Takes Care of the How To

I remember my first coach Steve Chandler telling me the "how to" is never the problem. The challenge is always with the "want to". If the "want to" is big enough people always figure out the "how to". This was echoed to me in a conversation with Steve Hardison. I couldn't comprehend how I could possibly pay his fee. He said to me, "If one of your children was sick and you needed this amount of money to save their life you would figure it out." I knew he was right. I realized my "want to" simply wasn't big enough,...

He Said, She Said: The Pressure of Expectations Can be Paralyzing

It is so easy for perfectionism and caring about how we look to get in the way of staying in the game. This week Angus shares how he sees his desire to look good has stopped him from moving forward in the past, and maybe a little bit now.  I see how having no expectations allows me to enjoy the moment more. This applies to movies and life in general.   Angus and Rohini are both coaches. They work with individuals, leaders and organizations to increase performance and success. They also love working with couples and helping them reduce conflict and discord...

How did they manage to get over their problems and not only stay together but thrive as a happy couple today? We will be discussing the difference between the conventional approach to solving problems in relationships versus a different approach, a new understanding of where the problems actually come from.   Thank you for watching!

Recovering From Perfectionism by Seeing Self-Worth Doesn’t Exist

After all the great religions have been preached and expounded, man is still confronted with the Great Mystery -- Luther Standing Bear   The second Mastermind for Solopreneurs that Barb Patterson and I co-facilitate is coming to completion next week. One of the themes we explored in the program is getting comfortable in the unknown. I catch myself at times thinking "I" (meaning my intellect/ego) am running my life. This, of course, includes my business. However, the magic happens when I see the bigger picture and recognize that life is really powered by a source much greater than me. It is so...

He Said, She Said: Housekeeping Blues

Angus and I have different standards when it comes to housekeeping. This has been a source of resentment in the past. Many couple’s solve this issue by hiring help, but Angus is reticent to get a housekeeper due to a past mishap. So, we are forced to navigate our separate realities and find common ground – so far, so good thanks to his failing eye sight.   Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them reduce conflict and discord so they can experience more love and harmony in their relationships. They co-facilitate individualized three-day couple's retreats that support the deepening...

Deep Peace Cannot be Destroyed — Not even by Teenagers

I was participating in the Global Peace & Love Meditation on Sunday facilitated by Julianne Chazotte. While listening to her guided meditation, I was filled with deep feelings of love and peace. It felt so blissful. I thought about the simplicity of every person on the planet feeling these beautiful feelings and connecting with the oneness and universality of the human experience. I saw how world peace is possible. No sooner did I have that thought, I remembered how I had not been feeling particularly peaceful lately with regard to my two daughters. I thought, "How can world peace be...

He Said, She Said: Assumptions aren’t Truth

It is easy to make assumptions, but they are often inaccurate -- sometimes in very amusing ways. Angus and I both make wrong assumptions about dogs. Also, I still don't understand Angus' English sense of humor, and take him too seriously even after all these years together.   Angus and Rohini love working with couples and helping them reduce conflict and discord so they can experience more love and harmony in their relationships. They co-facilitate individualized three-day couple's retreats that support the deepening of connection and understanding. We work with couples who are struggling and couples who would like to deepen the love and intimacy...
