Resending: he doesn't want to show up for coaching


I'm working with a woman right now who's husband doesn't want to show up for coaching, but she decided that she wasn't going to let that hold her back anymore. (I was super proud of her for that!) so she and I are in a 1-on-1 coaching space right now.

I love working with her every week. She's exploring new facets of herself that have shifted and emerged since becoming a mom a few months ago. Friendships, what self-care really is for her, parenting goals, desires for her family's future... her work in herself ripples into the whole family. And do we hope her husband finds a space to focus on his own needs and growth soon, yes, we do. But also, she deserves that for herself and can't remain held back.

3 Areas that Can Grow

There's you- your personal wellness journey, values, growth through parenthood, all of that.
And then there's your partner and similarly, their personal journey + growth through parenthood.
And then there is the 3rd entity which is your relationship. We look at this as being its own kind of being or entity that is highly impacted by the strength of the two individuals.

Even if one person isn't ready or willing, we strengthen a part and that strengthens the sum of them (which is the relationship).

While it's really beautiful to grow in tandem, the reality is that sometimes it feels like we take turns growing. And that's okay. Life isn't a race to the finish line; it's a journey to be savored and your personal growth forms so much of the path.

I want to share something I see often, and I say it with a lot of tenderness. When a mom keeps pushing herself to the bottom of the list, something usually starts to grow in the background. Not all at once.Quietly. It can look like resentment that doesn’t have a clear target.A numbness where joy used to be.A sense of being needed, but not really known. Most women don’t wake up one day and think, “I want a different life.” They wake up and realize they’ve been living on the sidelines of their...
