Hi Coachy Loves. I’m sitting out here in this beautiful out of doors because it is summer. You can see the beautiful flowers behind me and the breeze is blowing, and the summer is here and it’s just gorgeous. I was having a client call earlier and we talked about the fact that it’s summer now. I was telling this client last month that one of the things I go in and add into my calendar is I write in “Protect June.” By that, I mean June is a frickin’ crazy month for a lot of us.

A Powerful Exercise to Try
My brain is about to bust open. This has been one.helluva.week.

Meet Insecure-Imelda-Petty-Patty. She is my inner voice that likes to have me look around at what EVERYBODY else is doing in the world and then she turns to me and (just when I LEAST expect it) whispers: LOOK--SEE--YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY ARE. It's haunting. She is so damn convincing to me sometimes that I actually allow …
