Hey – How’s it going???
​

I can't believe how long it’s been since we last spoke! It feels like yesterday we were laughing and talking about how great 2023 was going to be and BOOM – it’s over.

I remember being so excited to share that I passed the national boards for health & wellness coaching and how that factored into my grand vision for 2023. Whelp – let’s just say that vision fell apart pretty quickly.

It’s hard to express all my health drama of the first half of the year and the toll that took on me. Any plans I had for the year went straight out the window. But…..

Despite a rough start, I ended up finding something I enjoyed!

During this rough patch I had enough energy to do what I love – learning! And get this: it’s my top strength! Turns out there’s way more JOY in using my strengths than avoiding them. Obvious, but this experience made it impossible to continue pushing towards what I thought I should be doing and devaluing my strengths.

So, what am I learning? How to create my own copy (it’s a work in progress -lol). I'd planned on hiring a professional but given the circumstances, it wasn’t realistic. PLUS, I had literally no idea how to articulate what it is I wanted to share –I only knew what I was feeling.

Have you ever struggled to articulate/say what you need, what brings you joy, what you want? But you could feel it?

Welcome to the club! Our words and approach may be different, but why settle for frustration, unable to explain or even understand why things aren’t working for us? We just need a fresh perspective. This has been my experience this year. Not too shabby considering.

So that’s my update. What’s going on with you? Is there a story you’ve wanted to tell or maybe a feeling without words? I’d love to hear about it and to celebrate together how far we’ve come (because trust me, we have – even if we’re not saying it!). Respond to this email and let me know!

Short and sweet but this feels like a great place to wrap up my update! I hope you have a great holiday season and happy New Year! (but let’s agree that in 2024 we’ll not let so much time pass between chats!)

Xo,

Stephanie

P.S. – Do you know what your strengths are? Here’s the Strength Finder I mention above. Once you have them, if you want to talk through how the results as well as how they relate to six categories (virtues) – book a free session and let’s chat!
