Owning Up to the All But Obvious

Hey Reader,

I have a confession 🀫 to make to you this week about something I've been resisting for a long, long time.

But, before I tell you what it is, let me pave the way just a little bit.

Since I started coaching professionally 5 years ago, I've wrestled with what kind of coach I should be. Translation: what do I want to call myself?

Core Energy Coach? Life Transitions Coach? Identity Empowerment Coach? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

To be honest, I can't remember all of the title variations I've tried on.

And yet, the answer was there all along.

I just wouldn't accept it.

Can you relate?

Can you recall knowing the all-but-obvious truth about something but, for one reason or another, you dug your heels in and refused to acknowledge or accept it?

πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

For me, it was acknowledging and accepting that I live and breath authenticity.

That no matter what I think, say or do, it always comes back around to the measuring stick of what is genuine, real and true. Always.

And yet, up until this past week, I've refused to use the word authentic or authenticity to describe who I am or what I do as a Coach.

I felt like it was such an overused word that I convinced myself it was actually inauthentic to use the word authentic.

What the...?!?! πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Anyway, that ends today.

Yep. Today, I stop resisting and start owning.

I start owning that...

I am an Authenticity Coach. πŸ’₯

And, I help people courageously explore, confidently embrace and boldly express their true, authentic selves!

Okay, now it's your turn.

What are you ready to stop resisting, and start owning, so you can build your something better?

Hit reply and let me know!

Your Authenticity Coach, 😏

June 26, 2024 Hey Reader, In a few days, the official month of Pride will come to an end. But, what it stands for - civil rights & equal justice for the LGBTQIA2S+ community - will continue on. In a few days, all of the big corporate commercials championing Pride will fade away as well. But, all of the queer solopreneur & small business owners will still be here providing products and services - as they have been every day of the year. Yes, I am a queer solopreneur. And yes, I provide a...

muddy boots in field

June 12, 2024 Hey Reader, It's been an incredibly rainy spring here in northern Minnesota. 😢 But, I'm not complaining, because I don't have to shovel rain. And, that's a W-I-N!! Interestingly though, the wet earth and muddy trails brought up a childhood memory that makes a lot of sense when I think about how we experience the feeling of being stuck in life. My mom grew up on a farm in western Minnesota. And, when I was a kid, I loved it there. Visiting my grandparents and turning the old...

June 1, 2024 Happy PRIDE Reader, As said in our previous email: Choosing to be authentic is one of the bravest things we can do. And whether this month you are embracing your beautiful LGBTQ2SIA+ authentic self or any other aspect of your life that requires you to be true to you, it is one of the bravest things that you can do. In October 2017, I experienced this in a profound and unforgettable way. Coming out to my family and friends was one of the bravest things I've ever done. My heart...
