This is a mid-year reminder that real change happens through connection.
We are mid-year 2025. Half the year is finished. How’s it going?
Really, how are you?
As this July 4th independence week unfolds, I’ve been thinking of our inter-dependence – our need for each other.
Stick with me on this.
When I am fully vulnerable and get honest about something needing to be said – these are some of my best conversations. It happens only when I am with someone who has gifted me the space to let it unfold. Sometimes, exploration unearths a discovery that was hiding or buried under layers of stuff. The sudden (or not so sudden) discovery can be truly magical. And life changing.
When we see our clients touching down into this sacred space of discovery, it is such a gift because it’s where change happens. To witness this is one of the most cherished parts of being a health and wellness coach.
It doesn’t happen when we talk about grams of protein, fiber intake or how many hours of sleep they get – though that stuff matters and can be enlightening!
Change happens when people process why they do what they do AND start doing something different.
In our one-to-one and group sessions, clients are processing what’s going on in their life. Move forward one step at a time by taking action.
Sometimes I show up to a conversation haunted by worry or hurts and put on a smiling face out of habit. I tuck my own stuff in my back pocket to keep myself safe when what I really need to do is simply lay it on the table – and share…with someone I trust.
A lot of clients come to us saying:
“I’m so frustrated. Why can’t I do this on my own?”
The answer:
Because we need each other.
Cheers to our inter-dependence.
