20% of people identify themselves as chronic procrastinators. And the other 80% have procrastinated from time to time. I've done it. We've all done it.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda...
According to a Cornell University Study, our most enduring regrets are the ones that stem from our failure to live up to our ideal selves.
When looking back at one's life on their deathbed, 76% of people are haunted by regrets about failing to fulfill their hopes, goals, and aspirations.
What's the Difference Between Therapy and Coaching?
Before I had my son in 2015, I was working as a full time school psychologist and clinical psychologist. 90% of my work was psychological assessments and therapy. But I had also undergone training for coaching, and the other 10% of my clients were coaching clients. In addition, many of my therapy clients also cared about optimizing their lives, and so I would implement coaching strategies into my work with them. The industry as a whole looked very different.
Fast forward to 2022, and the coaching industry has literally exploded— which is great! Everyone can benefit from coaching. A good coach can fast track progress, and make a huge impact on the quality of someone’s life.
With the explosion of coaching, I believe it’s very important to distinguish the difference between therapy and coaching, as lines have been blurred. Many coaches (think mindset coaches for one example) are actually practicing therapy without a license and don’t know it, or they’re working within an area that they don’t have adequate training in…
What is Mental Fitness?
“Winners and losers have the same goals.” -James Clear
While I wouldn’t personally call anyone a loser, this quote speaks loudly to me. Winners and losers have the same goals. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want a better life. They want joy and peace; love; fulfillment, good health; financial stability.
29% of people want to quit their jobs and be their own boss.
43% of Americans plan to start a business this year.
85% of people are unhappy at their jobs.
Why are people settling for this?
Why Hire a Coach?
Hiring a coach is going to facilitate transformation at a much quicker rate than going at it alone by leveraging human psychology.
Here are some examples of common reasons behind hiring a coach:

Adirondacks 2022
Last year I made a photo journal of some of my favorite shots from the Adirondacks. I probably looked at it more than any of you. It brought me immense joy. So here we go with another round of that from 2022 for my own personal reflection.
Are EMFs cooking your cells?
EMFs have always been one of those things that I didn’t really like, but I also just accepted. What am I going to do? Stop the advancement of technology? Live in a cabin in the middle of the woods with zero WiFi or cell service? On top of that, I earn a living as a digital nomad using my laptop, phone, and WiFi… but this fall, the 5G tower on my morning dog walk to the beach bothered me. I didn’t like that I was subjected to it. And one afternoon, when I got on my laptop to work on a project, I noticed by laptop was picking up 22 WiFi networks… That was my line in the sand.
