What

We often feel like something is wrong with our lives. People tell us we’re creating our lives, but so often it feels kind of like an art project gone wrong. And like most art projects, we often make stuff we’re unhappy with. And I’m an artist, so I’d know. But artists know something else, how to see mistakes as possibilities. Coaching with me is like seeing your life fresh. Feeling creative. Learning to see pain as intensity, Feeling stuck as a from of hope. 

How

Right? Lots of ways. Endless ways, probably. I’ve never gotten unstuck the same way twice. But, I think you’re already doing something helpful, by looking for some outside perspective. Looking for a guide, or a sign. Stuckness can be deep or shallow. Hard to tell. That’s part of why the prospect of stuck is so scary. We start wondering, “uh oh. is that just a puddle or a viscous black hole of slime?” I don’t know. We never know. It’s uncertainty. So that’s usually where we start. How do I feel about uncertainty? Artists spend most of their lives here when making art, but then someone asks them about retirement and they freak out. No one has it figured out.

Why

Everyone feels relief when they see they’ve been heard, and I find that rewarding. I like to help people laugh and help them feel something true. And I love it when that also makes me laugh and feel something true back.
