Over the past few years, my life has changed dramatically. I’ve been able to create a completely different life seemingly by magic. But what is the real reason for my shift? How have I managed to manifest this life that I love? In a word: coaching.
I recently had an interaction that reminded me that not everyone understands or believes in the power of coaching, so I wanted to take a moment here to address what holds people back from trying something new and different in their lives and why coaching feels so scary.
I am so excited to celebrate 30 episodes with you today, not only because it is an amazing milestone but it’s also another “Words of Gratitude for” tribute episode (in case you just found The Empowered Principal Podcast, every 10 episodes I showcase someone who has had an incredible influence on my life)! I love sharing the lessons I’ve learned from the brilliant people I’ve highlighted so far and today is no different.

As I’m sure you’re aware, summer is in full-swing, which means it’s time to deal with a touchy subject; family relationships. Sure, some of us have a great time with our families, however, for others, it can leave us wading through old emotions we thought we’d left behind. Have you found yourself going back to your childhood ways of engaging when you meet up with your family? I know I do – for sure.
