Have you got lost in the details and lost sight of the direction you originally set off in?

That is something my latest guest, Vanessa Rubera, and I regularly see with our clients and is the topic of the latest episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast.

Vanessa isa good friend and mentor from Vermont in the USA. She is a Clarity Coach and the author of “Conversations with a Camel”.

During the episode Vanessa and I touch on the power of coaching and that as coaches, our main ole is to hold space knowing that neither our clients or ourselves know the answer… the answer comes from us collectively slowing down and seeing what can be created from there.

We all have the capacity to set a direction that feels right and be comfortable in the not knowing of how we get there. Unfortunately, what usually happens, we lose sight of the direction and become overly focused on the details. As General Dwight D Eisenhower is famously quoted as saying: “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.”

I’d love to hear how looking at the bigger picture of the direction of travel has served you over getting lost in the details of how to get there?

I love creating this podcast. I get to have conversations with some amazing people who I haven’t crossed paths with and that I would be unlikely to without it. This episode is no exception.

Lily Sais is a Transformation Coach from Los Angeles, working with people with anxiety. Lily and I share an understanding in the Three Principles and have a number of close shared connections.

I was interested in understanding Lily’s capacity to create and share what she sees using simple messages via social media to reach large audiences and hear the impact that is creating.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on our conversation and what questions they bring to mind for you?

You are in for a treat! In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast I am joined by my dear friend and colleague Dr Bill Pettit.

Bill turns 83 later this month but in the last 18 months or so he seems to have developed a second wind, and I wanted to ask him about it and his upcoming courses:

· Witnessing Miracles

· One Cause, One Cure

For those that don’t know Bill, he has been practicing Psychiatry for 53 years, the last 43 of which have been with an ever-deepening understanding of the Three Principles. This arms him with a body of experience treating patients presenting symptoms from a cross the mental illness spectrum.

It’s this experience that we touch on in this conversation and that Bill will be diving into in much greater depth in his two courses.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on our conversation and what questions they bring to mind for you?

Upcoming courses:

Witnessing Miracles – 3-6 and 10-13 June 2025 (in person in Phoenix Arizona and livestreamed)

One Cause, One Cure – 3 x 3-month modules, 9 July 2025 to 18 March 2026 (via Zoom)

Collaboration with Dr Bill, Judy Sedgeman, Brad Gallup, Ofer Meyer and myself:

The Missing Link for Veterans – also for anyone carrying a burden from the past
