Release Your Resistance

What happens at a coach conference?

What did I realize and get reminded of by being at an event hosted by my mentor? 

Today’s episode is a list of reminders and realizations I got from attending Life Coach Live in November of 2022 in Arizona. 

A few of my takeaways include: 

🔥 Why going back to the basics is such a good use of my time

🔥 The value of seeing masterful coaching in action

🔥 What is a possibility drop? And a few examples of my own

🔥 The remedy to the problem of being stuck

🔥 Why it’s so good to visualize my future and check in with my future self

🔥 How to LOVE what bugs me about other people

🔥 How simple it all is

And so much more! (This is a really great episode! I couldn’t edit any more of my reminders out to make it shorter - they were too good!)
