Self-Acceptance

Healthy people practice accepting themselves unconditionally, rather than rating themselves. They accept their attributes, positive or negative, and this doesnt waiver even on the bad days. They don't try to prove themselves to anyone.

Risk-Taking

Healthy people choose to take risks, even when they have some fears, because they want to pursue whatever it is they desire to do in life. They know life is an adventure, and risk-taking leads to achievement, satisfaction, and personal development…

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a highly effective, practical, action-oriented, and evidence-based form of psychotherapy developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s.

Ellis was originally trained in psychoanalysis (think Freud). He was regarded as an outstanding psychoanalyst, but overtime, his faith in the practice deteriorated. He began to take a more active role in the process, and noticed his clients improved much more quickly than they previously had. Overtime, Ellis began focusing on changing people’s behaviors by confronting their irrational beliefs, and helping them adopt new healthy belief systems. He referred to this as being rational-emotive, and it truly was revolutionary in the field of psychology.

Telling a procrastinator to just use a planner likely won't do anything. It's not often the lack of planning that causes a person to procrastinate. They procrastinate in spite of knowing when the deadline is approaching.

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.

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. 

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…

“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?

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:

• finding fulfillment;

• needing to make health + lifestyle changes;

• needing to overcome limiting beliefs…

Hey friends,

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly doing all the things, but getting absolutely nothing done?
