Coaching with me
Does life become all rainbows and unicorns when you coach with me?
Nope.
The world will still be a dumpster fire sometimes, people you love will still struggle physically and emotionally, relationships will still be challenging sometimes, and you’ll still have to deal with assholes at work.
But better than the rainbows and unicorns, you’ll have accessable, effective, science-backed, do-anywhere tools to support yourself and your nervous system when life inevitably gets, well, lifey.
One of my fab clients has been dealing with a supervisor at work who’s made it his mission to assert his power over her in the duchiest of duchebag ways.
And of course my client’s nervous system has been telling her they’re under threat.
This is a normal and healthy response.
So I’ve been reminding that her reaction is spot on, she’s naming her emotions and physical sensations like a boss, and doing whatever her nervous system tells her it needs to release and metabolize the cortisol and adrenaline when they show up.
She’s asking for backup and support at work and setting boundaries. Not easy for most of us and it does get easier with practice.
Is she still nervous and anxious before and during the ridiculous meetings he’s forcing?
Yep, but she’s calling him out on his harassment, not being “nice” to him as he flexes his mysogony, keeping to the facts, and allowing her thoughts, feelings, and emotions to move through her instead of denying them or sweeping them under the rug like they don’t exist, cuz they absolutely do.
By doing this with her supervisor, she’s taking her power back from every situation and man, she ever gave it away to, because if you were socialized as a woman, it was/is part of your “training.”
Life doesn’t suddenly become super easy and stress-free when you coach with me.
But you do get the manual for your thoughts, feelings, and actions that we weren’t born with, so when life is lifey, you can move show up for yourself and move through it with fewer bumps, scrapes, and bruises.
You are not broken.
You are not alone.
All you ever need to take are kitten steps.
You got this, Sunshine and I’ve always got your back!
