My coach annoyed me. Hi Greg if you're seeing this.🙂

But seriously I had a call today and I have been in a season of transition in my business and second-guessing (and honestly third-guessing) some decisions.

He asked me how I coach my clients when they are decision making, and I told him I guide them back to their bodies.

When I first teach this, most of my clients say, "What do you mean?" They aren't sure how their bodies talk or what they're actually saying.

I'm a translator of sorts.

I ask a series of questions to identify how the body is already talking and what a yes or no may FEEL like.

And I'll be damned if he didn't ask me to use my own method for myself. Like I said, annoying.🙂 And it worked.

My yes feels calm and usually with a head nod. My no is tension in my shoulders and usually a side to side head shake.

Do you know your cues? Do you listen to them? Let me know. And if you're not sure, let's chat and we can figure it out.

What if we greeted transition with fun?

We're in that weird in between right now.

Summer is ending. School is starting. Schedules are changing. My kids are getting older. And like every transition, even the good ones, there's a little bit of bracing that happens.

We organize. We plan. We think about what's coming. We try to get ahead of it.

Before we stepped into all of this, I protected a few days for a family staycation for candy stores, IKEA meandering, and The Great Big Game Show experience at The Mall of America. 10/10 recommend!

Seriously we all had the best time and we've been talking about it all week as we prep for what's next.

So as I've been reflecting, I've been considering the question, what if we didn't always greet change by getting more serious?

What if we greeted it with some fun?

What if we let ourselves be excited about what might be next instead of only trying to prepare ourselves for it?

There will always be things to figure out. Schedules and logistics and decisions and all the other things that come with a new season.

But maybe we don't have to brace ourselves for every transition.

Maybe sometimes we can play our way into it.

All-or-nothing thinking is a stress response.

When we’re overwhelmed, resentful, or stretched too thin, our options get really narrow.

Keep doing it or quit.

Say yes or disappoint someone.

Take care of it or let it fall apart.

That’s why I like three questions:

Keep it?
Toss it?
Tweak it?

Keep reminds you not everything needs to change.

Toss reminds you that you’re allowed to stop.

And tweak?

Tweak reminds you there are more than two choices.

Sometimes a boundary isn’t a bigger NO.

It’s realizing you have more options.

Wondering is expensive.

I say this ALL the time.

And not just financially.

It’s expensive to keep having the same conversation in your head.

To wonder if you should stay or go.

Say something or let it go.

Keep doing the thing or finally admit it isn’t working.

Make the offer.

Have the conversation.

Change direction.

There are absolutely things that need time.

But there are also things we call “thinking about it” when really, we’re just circling.

And circling takes energy.

Sometimes you don’t need more time to think.

You need a really good conversation with someone who can help you see what you can’t see from inside of it.

Wondering is expensive.

Clarity is useful.

If you’ve got something you’ve been circling, comment CIRCLE. I may be able to help.

You're allowed to say, at any time: "This doesn't work for me anymore."

Oftentimes we're taught that in order to change something we have to know immediately what comes next. I don't think that's true. I think sometimes you have to start with what's NOT working.

You'll often hear leaders or even parents say: "If you're going to bring me a problem, you better bring me a solution too."

While I understand that in theory, most people are reaching out for help because they DON'T know what comes next. And then they feel punished for asking for help. Then we tell them they shouldn't try to do things alone, they need to work as a team. It's so confusing!

Tomorrow, at the Resentment Reset workshop, you don't have to come with any answers. You don't have to know what to do next. You don't have to do it alone, for sure.

I'll teach you a brand new method that I designed for myself in the depths of my own resentment story. It works. It's repeatable. And you will leave feeling empowered. Okay? Join me. Deets are in the comments.

If you're the Default Decision Maker in your family, on your team, or in your business, more than likely, you have experienced RESENTMENT. Like 5 minutes ago.

The pressure to metabolize, anticipate, hold it all together, and keep going can be overwhelming.

Resentment is a cue.
A clue.
A symptom.
An invitation.

The workshop I'm teaching next week is personal. Resentment and I are old friends. And when she shows up, I say hello and some other colorful things, and I take the steps I'm going to be teaching next Tuesday at 11 am CT.

The feeling of resentment is one that absolutely can change your life for the better, or for the worse. But you do you a choice.

Come and learn. You'll spend an hour with me, learn a tool you can apply IN REAL TIME, and meet other women who want to change too. Community is where it happens.

We've got this. Deets in the comments.

Resentment is built in the dark. It stems from feeling both ESSENTIAL and INVISIBLE.

It builds in the moments where you bite your tongue.

In times where you don't speak up for yourself.

Where you quietly absorb the unseen, unspoken, and invisible labor.

Time and time again when I work with women leaders, I hear a version of, "If I don't do it, it won't get done." And more often than not, they're right.

But what happens when we just continue to do whatever the "it" is, we participate in a pattern that inevitably leads to resentment.

Come to the Resentment Reset workshop next Tuesday, August 11th at 11 am CT and find out how to choose a different pattern.
