I have a book coming out Winter 2023! Get on my email list for updates!
I have always been interested in learning. In fact, I have a nice collection of degrees and certificates supporting my longstanding interests in intrapersonal growth. However, my most profound learning BY FAR has been through life experiences and interacting with people like you!
In 2015, I was starting a consent-based outdoor learning program for children. It was our first season and I was trying to guide a staff member who had intervened in a conflict between two children. I understood that the facilitator was valuing safety yet I wanted her to also see the perspective of the kids. I was trying to help her figure out how to communicate her wishes in a way that wasn't shaming or "power over" and a parent overhead our conversation. "I know what you're trying to do! That's NVC!" she said excitedly. I had never heard of NVC before but within a month I had organized facilitator training for all our staff on NVC principals. I've been using NVC daily ever since!
The pandemic changed life for all of us, didn't it? I got sick at the start of the pandemic which developed into an autoimmune disease. This greatly impacted the ways I could work and live. It was heartbreaking. I took all of the parts I loved from my previous ways of serving people and created a new expression of how I could contribute to the world. I called it "MetaMentoring" because although I fall into the coaching category, I want to be able to share the things that make me human and be a co-learner. I recognize that transformation happens for both of us and the energy of change exists in the space between us. I'm constantly learning and I hope that by sharing my processes, you'll be able to learn from your vulnerabilities too.
Today I am happy to offer support to others via my podcast, videos, writing, and facilitated coaching groups. Whether you wish to deepen the connection you have with your children or partner, family or friends, or looking for guidance to navigate big changes like a major illness, I can help!
I can help you learn how to apply self awareness and compassionate communication processes that will help you navigate life's hurdles with greater gentleness and clarity. By fostering a deeper awareness of your feelings and needs, you can begin to understand how to negotiate creative solutions to the challenges you face.
Uncomfortable things are going to happen in life, challenges will present themselves, that's just how life is.
The skills we have to navigate adversity can help us heal faster, build stronger relationships, and ultimately transform us. The experience isn't easy but the learning is rich!
I want to help you continuously find your way back to safety by sharing my learning, the wisdom of others, and facilitating conversations.
Self awareness is essential to learning. When we make our own choices and have safety to reflect on those choices with compassion, we learn, heal, and make choices that reflect our values.
Those ugh feelings are just a reflection of where you are and where you wish to be. Pain and discomfort are signals of unmet needs.
You'll get to explore the same topic from different angles and learn different perspectives.
Focusing on one leads to another, so start wherever you feel inspired.
We are part of something much bigger than we can comprehend. All of us have wisdom to share and something to learn. Working to understand perspectives beyond our own and our place in the larger picture is important for our individual and collective healing.
