You don't have to figure it all out alone
|
There are some things we're generally remarkably good at doing alone. Paying bills. Showing up to work. Taking care of everybody else. Making the appointment. Handling the problem. Keeping things moving. And then there are the things we can spend months trying to figure out by ourselves. Should I stay or go? Is this really what I want? Why do I keep doing this? What happens next? Am I making the right decision? Why am I so tired when nothing is technically wrong? And sometimes we don’t even know what the question is. We just know we’re carrying around something that takes up a surprising amount of mental real estate. I’ve been thinking about this a lot as I’ve stepped back into coaching. I don’t think you always need someone to tell you what to do. In fact, I think that’s one of the least interesting things a coach can do. Sometimes you need someone who can sit with you long enough to help you see what’s actually happening. Someone who can hear the thing underneath the thing. Someone who can ask a question that makes you stop and say, “Huh. I hadn’t thought about it that way.” That’s the kind of coaching I love doing. And that’s exactly what my new 60-minute private coaching sessions are for. You bring the thing. We slow the thoughts down. We look at them together. And we see what becomes clearer. One hour. $55. No package required. No long-term commitment. Just an hour to stop carrying it by yourself. And if now isn’t the time, that’s okay. But if there’s something you’ve been trying to figure out alone, maybe you don’t have to. Peace & grace, Sincerely, Sonja |

Sometimes we’re trying to fix someone else’s feelings because we can’t tolerate our own discomfort. We call it helping. We call it loving. We call it keeping the peace. And sometimes it is. But sometimes we’re trying to make their discomfort disappear because we don’t know how to sit with it ourselves. That’s something I’m practicing right now. I’ll tell you more and how you can apply this practice in the upcoming newsletter this weekend. But for now just know that this isn’t my first time...
There’s something I’ve noticed over and over again when I work with people. Especially people who lead businesses, teams, or organizations. They come to me with a problem they believe needs to be solved. And usually, they’re right about the problem. But sometimes they’re wrong about where the solution lives. Recently, I was talking with a business owner who was struggling to hold their team accountable. They already knew what needed to happen. They knew the conversations that needed to be...
Hey Reader, We're living in an era obsessed with self-improvement, but sometimes our desire to understand ourselves becomes another way of being dissatisfied with ourselves. I'm learning through my own journey that self-awareness isn't meant to bean endless project of identifying what's wrong with me. What's help me have a healthier response to stress is the ability to notice myself honestly. I simply decided one day to replace “Why am I doing this?” with “What am I noticing?” What thought's...
