Some of you have asked for more information about our new Morning Intentions podcast, which will begin on January 1, 2023. The most important part of our new podcast is that it will be a resource for everyone who joins us. Our podcast will be a coaching podcast, and you will learn tools as though you are coming in personally for coaching.

To show up as our best selves, we must be able to EXPRESS OUR EXPERIENCE of life with someone else. Being truly seen, heard, and known is essential to happiness. This means that we must be able to honestly express our past hurt, our current pain, our joy, our concern, our frustration, our confusion, our love, and every other experience we encounter in our lives. We must have someone to see, hear, and know us – our true authentic us.

Thanksgiving is here already. How can this be? It feels like just a few days ago we were enjoying the warm sun of spring and summer!

We are finding that problems and frustrations with technology are truly a significant source of stress for people.

The other day, Annette and I had a conversation about how much courage it takes to come in for coaching. Courage that not everyone has – and courage that we acknowledge and appreciate each day.

Today, we wanted to update you on Annette and Don’s sweet rescue dog Greta, who is near and dear to Ada’s heart as well. Over the past two years, the three of us have worked together to help Greta feel safe and loved.

Personal development is all about continually doing our healing work, learning ways to better support ourselves, and challenging ourselves even when no one else is looking. In short, it’s about finding the fire in our own hearts and growing for our own benefit so each day we can show up as the best version of ourselves for that day.

I am deeply saddened that people act with hate and try to destroy other people’s lives. It is even worse when you are related to them because you feel trapped. As victims, we must understand that WE GET TO DECIDE who has the privilege of being in our lives.

When you experience an ending, make sure to give yourself the support you need, which may include reaching out to a coach or counselor.

This month we are continuing our It’s Okay If theme we started in our June Vlog. Here we discuss that it is definitely okay to need help.

Earlier this month, Don and I celebrated our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We had a nice long chat about all the usual thoughts people have on such an anniversary.
