The Blog
Your story. Your decisions. Your life. Your way.
You are the expert on YOU - but it’s often hard to find the words.
We all have a story we tell ourselves about ourselves, and it’s always only half the story.
Deciding which parts of the story you want to carry forward, which you want to edit or rewrite, and which you want to leave behind takes time and reflection.
You’ll find client stories, writing, research and questions here. I hope they’ll get you thinking, and I hope they’ll get you writing. Those are the first steps to creating a life that’s unmistakably yours.
If you’d like to go further? The right questions, a different perspective and someone to think things through with can help you see what you couldn’t see alone.
That’s where our work together begins.

You demand answers from yourself. What is my plan? What if I get it wrong?
High stakes make our brains freeze and lock us into binary thinking: success or failure.
Swapping pressure for curiosity—and running Tiny Experiments—puts you into the laboratory, helping you gather clues without the overwhelm.
Why making big decisions on your own is so hard
Lying awake night after night, how do you keep your thoughts under control? How can it only be 3 am?
Everything feels impossible. Overwhelming. Exhausting. You’re wide awake and your heart’s beating too fast.
What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you make a simple decision? Welcome to being human.
Making good decisions is hard, particularly when you’re on your own. The solution? Finding the right thinking partner.
What to do when you don’t know what to do next
Making good decisions and choices is hard.
Whatever your age, the stakes feel high.
Fear of making a mistake can take over, making you less ambitious and less bold.
Part of the problem is that everyone has an opinion: you feel bombarded with information, advice and opinions. All of it well-intentioned.
But as one client said,
“My head is full of other people’s voices.”
