I have been sitting with a lot, like many of you, I am sure. The state of the world right now is heavy, overwhelming and a bit surreal. Before we dive into today’s topic, I wanted to share some thoughts on that, because pretending everything is “normal” just doesn’t feel right.

Times are tough right now and this tells me that the work I do in the world is important. The work I do, the tools and my coaching, combine to help you not get pulled under by the weight of everything happening in the USA and the world right now.

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neruologist, psychologist, phlosopher and Holocaust survivor. I can't help but think of his words right now, as what we are experiencing feels similar. Viktor taught us that no one can take away the way we think and our attitude about our life. When I think of the unimaginalble horror that he lived through, and millions of others, his words give me hope and a reminder to make sure we tend to your mind and heart.

And THIS is the reason I will continue doing my work, even though times feel very heavy.

And then, once we have grounded in that reality, I want to take us somewhere deeper, into the heart of self confidence. Not the kind that is all surface level pep talk, but the real kind. The kind that grows quietly from trusting yourself and having your own back, no matter what is happening outside of you.

I also want to introduce you to, or remind you, of one of my favorite coaching tools. I am going to walk you through my thought model, a tool to help you see how your thoughts create your life. I know it is much more complicated than that, but, let’s start there.

I can and will help you learn to manage your mind and heart, Wildflower. This is what I do. I would love to work with you and help you through these times.

Welcome to a new month and a new theme inside The Green Shoe Society. July is The Summer of You and we are starting with a new guided meditation to help you gently root into self trust and build a grounded, long lasting self confidence.

This 8 minute meditation is your reminder that confidence doesn’t come from perfection or performance, it comes from the quiet belief that you can handle whatever comes your way. That you are enough, as you are and you already carry the strength you are looking for.

Let this be a soft beginning to your July. Let this be the day you trust your self confidence.

Take a breath. Press play. Return to your own steady ground.

The space between self doubt and self trust can be a very hard place to be.

In this final episode of this trusting yourself series, we are diving into the emotional habits that keep you stuck and how to step into the role of observer so you can change them.

Do you know how you habitually respond to stress? Trauma? Most of us don’t. And when we are unaware, we keep reacting the same way, over and over. This is the place of feeling stuck. It can be a difficult place to live. Limbo is never fun.

Today we talk about recognizing your default emotional responses, getting comfortable feeling hard emotions, without drowning in them, the difference between processing and indulging

And how to navigate the in between space, that tender place where you are not quite trusting yourself yet, but you are no longer ignoring your truth either.

This is about building emotional awareness so you can choose differently and trust yourself. More deeply, one moment at a time.
