MUSINGS

On this first week of 2022, I think it’s high time I came out of the closet about something – something that’s been cooking for a while now but that I’ve been shy to share with the world at large. Here goes!

I’m deep in the home-buying process right now, and I gotta say that the recovering-control-freak/Duke-Statistics-grad/Googler in me would be appalled at how I’m approaching it.

Growing up, I never thought I’d get married. In fact, I was rather anti-marriage.

Likely as a rebellious reaction to my Mormon upbringing that taught me my sole value as a woman was tied up in the roles of wife and mother, my attitude towards marriage was, “No way, Jose! Ain’t nobody gonna cage me up like that.”

I’m often vague about what it looks like from a “content of sessions” perspective, and that’s actually on purpose, because there’s really no one-size-fits-all formula and no such thing as a “typical” coaching request. It’s all about meeting each person where they’re at and focusing on where they want to be (both at a high-level, and on a week-by-week basis), given their unique gifts, blind spots, and challenges.

That being said, I was talking to a client today about how much we both benefit from examples, so today I wanted to share what the last month of our coaching together has looked like from a specifics-perspective.
