Endure Through Confusing Times

Why do so many of us turn a blind eye to our calling?

On paper, I looked like the obvious choice to become a coach, teacher, or therapist. But it wasn't until I was in my thirties that I took my first coach training.

Even then, it took me another twenty years to step “all-in” to this calling.  

What was I doing in-between?

I spent those two decades in the arts—as a writer, fundraiser, marketing director—always feeling like I wasn’t quite in the right lane.

And what was at the root of this blindness?

It wasn’t talent. I had plenty of feedback by then that I was a natural coach.

It wasn’t drive. I love to work hard!

No. The real reason was this: I hadn't cultivated my confusion endurance. 🤷🏽‍♀️

My fear preferred knowable goals—things I could measure, over the uncertainty of creating something of my own.  

My fear likes to stay in her comfort zone.  

And that meant a 100% refusal to rock the boat – at work or in relationships.

How can we connect to our courage to heed our calling if fear is in the drivers seat?

Because here’s the truth: if we can’t tolerate the discomfort of not knowing, we won’t 💡see all the possibilities that might unfold if only we could sit with our confusion little longer.

Yes, there will be days when we struggle to persist with the work we've committed to creating—📚a book without a publisher, 🎨a body of work not “gelling” weeks before the show.

But what if you see your discomfort as a tell?

Evidence that something in the dark will excite a discovery waiting for you to see it?

⚡️After all my years in this grappling in the dark, I can tell you that the fastest way into that fertile space … 

is to create connection.

Connect with other people willing to go there with you.

Find your people, and return to the page, the stage, or the canvas.

💪🏽 Build your confusion endurance muscles! 

My 10-week UNSTOPPABLE is created to do just that.

Whatever you decide, my wish for you is that you do endure. 

Because what emerges might just be your most 🎉thrilling discovery yet.
