my 12-year-old son coached me today
I've been flip-flopping for months about signing up for a community garden plot.
This 10x4ft raised bed has a lot of potential—full sun, endless possibilities for flowers, tomatoes, and salad greens. I've had dreams of this space being a home for my creativity and a way to be outside with my family and connect with the earth.
But then there are the weeds, the soil that's likely devoid of nutrients, the time I don't have. What if I wasted my energy? What if I failed?
Over the weekend, I asked my 12 year old son if he wanted to bring this dream to life. Not only did he say yes, but hours later he followed up: "So are you going to get that plot then?"
That powerful question was the edge I needed.
Knowing I had someone on my side shifted everything. I emailed the director this morning asking to reserve the plot.
This is coaching. You have the idea. We tend the garden together.
Your dreams and goals are like seeds, and they are already within you. A coach brings the process that helps those seeds flourish—seeing the potential in what you're cultivating and supporting the conditions for growth.
Like my son's simple question that cut through months of uncertainty, coaching offers accountability that helps you take the risks that matter. When someone takes a stand for your greatest possibility, stepping boldly into your most powerful self becomes easier.
Do you have a dream you're ready to bring to life?
If you're curious about coaching, I invite you to an exploratory session—a chance to step back from the day-to-day and focus entirely on what you're thinking about, what you're working toward, or whatever feels most important right now. We'll meet for about an hour in a collaborative conversation entirely focused on you. My job will be to connect you with you and then help the both of us get out of your way.
Shall we dig in? Let's have an exploratory conversation and learn more about what wants to grow in your life. You can use my calendly or reply with your interest and I'll send you a few times that work for me.
Rooting for you
