my summer love affair + the neuroscience of the yap
I'm having a love affair with summer.
Great blue heron fly-bys with my feet in the water at the end of the dock - the soft breeze soothing the parts of me still wincing from the long winter - my sweet peonies blooming in the yard...one moment more magnificent than the next.
I've got it bad over here.
June has landed on our shore with all of her gorgeous glory and it's only getting hotter by the day.
And it's reminding me that there's something so beautiful that comes into form when we decide to full send falling in love with our lives...
You find yourself doing things like...
Spontaneously booking the plane tickets and taking your kids to Florida knowing everyone is going to get a sunburn and that there will be sand everywhere until you get them into the shower only to come out 5 minutes later and lather them head to toe in aloe.
Feeling your cells memorize the sound of your last baby's laugh as he learns how to boogie board for the first time while you watch your big girl ride the waves into shore knowing it's the last summer she's choosing her bathing suit for function over fashion.
Closing your eyes in that warm lake water and feeling yourself being held - by life, by mama nature, herself, by the invisible forces that put you in this exact moment and spot on the map that you could never take credit for - not even for a second.
Making everything you do in your work and in your life about being of service to the people you can really help - the way you want to feel - the moments you know you'll never get to relive.
And it's from this place - where you watch it get simpler than ever before.
The messaging and mechanics you used to subscribe start to melt away...
The current of meaning runs through every, single part of your life and your days and your calendar.
And from here...everything falls into place and you find yourself -
Writing things that feel life love letters to your people...like my latest Substack post: "How to find your Edge and the words that will actually sell your stuff (+ 9 prompts that will trigger and fire you up)": You can read the full post there.
Buying a wireless mic so you can start recording truth-telling reels about why people say they hate marketing and what that's really about: You can watch that reel here.
Recording a podcast about the neuroscience of the latest yap launch that's got the coaching industry all a flutter: You can listen to that here.
Best of all - feeling a lightness in your business and your marketing - where the results speak themselves...
Speaking of - I currently have ONE space for 1:1 coaching in July. Think private mentorship - partnership behind the scenes in your business - witness work- personalized strategy and more.
If this is something you are interested in (includes the opportunity to attend an in-person retreat in August at the Tree Haus) - now would be the time to apply: You can apply here.
Life is so beautiful, so raw, so real.
We are more blessed than our busy minds would have us believe.
Yet, the truth remains...
We can be, do and have anything we allow ourselves to become fully aligned with.
Thank our lucky stars for that.
I am wishing you the most magnificent and magical summer.
