Stories That Find Us When We Need Them
These are stories I’ve gathered along the way.
They come from life, conversations, retreats, books, and quiet moments that stayed with me. Often, a client asks a question.
And suddenly, one of these stories comes back to the surface. When I share it, something shifts.
Something softens, opens, or finally makes sense. So I am sharing them here as well.
With the same intention behind them. That maybe one of these stories will help you too.

How Do You Know Which Voice Is the Right One?
Inspiration for this postThis one is a natural continuation of something I've been circling around lately — the different voices inside us, and how easily we confuse one for another. Because here is the honest question underneath all of it:How do you actually know which voice to listen to? When You're Down and Something Pushes...
If Your Inner Voice Were a Person, Would You Be Friends?
Inspiration for this postThis one followed naturally from something I had been sitting with — the quiet voice that talks us out of things, the one that whispers so gently we barely notice it's there. And a new question showed up right behind it. If that voice were an actual person, standing next to you...
The Voice That Talks You Out of It
Inspiration for this postThis one came from something I noticed in myself, early one morning. Nothing dramatic. Just a small moment. And yet, once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. Two Voices, Not Equal TimeWe often talk about triggers as something loud. A sharp comment. A sudden wave of anger. A reaction that surprises...
The Two Kinds of Inner Work — And Why Knowing Is not Enough
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a walk with my husband. We started talking about something that comes up again and again, both in sessions and in everyday conversations — why is it so hard for people to actually understand what "working on yourself" really means? So we went looking for an answer. Just...
Meet Them Like an Old Friend — Three Practices Before a Triggering Encounter
Inspiration for this postI just finished a session with a client, and one thing that came up feels worth sharing. She had a team-building event coming up. And there was one colleague on her team who, as she put it, knows exactly where to push her buttons. Every time they interact, something in her reacts...
The Combine Harvester — Why You Cant Gather the New Until You have Let Go of the Old
Inspiration for this postI keep coming back to this metaphor — a combine harvester. It explains something so many of us struggle with when we try to move forward or take something new in.The Combine HarvesterBefore it enters a new field, it is empty.As it moves through, it gathers.It processes.It packs what it needs.And it...
You Are the Hand, Not the Glove
Inspiration for this postThis one came from something I heard recently — and it stayed with me.A story about a son who competes at a high level.Someone who trains hard, achieves real results, and by any outside measure, is doing well.And yet, when he doesn't win, something inside him collapses completely.Not just disappointment. Something deeper.A...
Five Friends, One Game, Five Realities
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a conversation with my husband.He had just come home from work and told me about a meeting he'd had that day.Same room.Same people.Same conversation.And yet, afterward, everyone seemed to have walked away with a completely different interpretation of what had just happened and was convinced that their version...
From Fear to Curiosity: A Practical Example
Inspiration for this postThis one came from the office, just a few days ago.It's summer.Everyone is counting down the hours until the end of the workday, dreaming of that long-awaited, well-deserved vacation.And in the middle of all that anticipation, one of my colleagues completely lost it.He had received an email: "again, at the last second",...
Where Did You Put Your Focus?
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a session a few days ago.My client has been practicing something many of us struggle with:setting boundaries — and actually holding them.She sat down and told me, almost defeated:"It's just not working for me." When I asked what happened, she explained.The Broken PromiseShe had an arrangement with someone...
Why Your Motivation Disappears After a Few Days
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a session a few days ago. My client told me something many of us recognize.She sets a goal. She feels excited, motivated, ready. And then — a few days later, maybe a week at most — it's gone. "I already know I won't reach it anyway," she said."So...
You Don’t Need to Be Fixed
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a colleague of mine. She walked up to me with a big smile and said: "I just came from the mechanic — he fixed my car. What if I come to you, and you fix me?" I laughed. And then I said something I meant completely. "I can't...
The Monster Behind the Door
Inspiration for this postThis one comes back to me almost every time someone criticizes me.Or, on the other end, every time I hear someone say:"Don't be afraid. I know it's hard, but just keep going." Both of those moments lead me to the same idea.One that came to me a while ago, and simply stayed....
The Smoke Detector That Goes Off Before There’s Smoke
Inspiration for this postThis one came from a walk with my husband.He told me about a colleague of his — someone who, in most situations, doesn't react at all.He sees things clearly; he understands people, and most of the time, he simply doesn't feel the need to respond to every little thing.He acts instead of...
The Woman in the Car — How Fast We Judge, How Little We Know
Inspiration for this postThis memory goes back many years, to a time when my ego still ran the show in most situations.I was walking to aikido training, moving slowly along the sidewalk, when I noticed a car coming toward me. It was crawling at an almost suspicious pace.Through the windshield, I caught a quick glimpse...
You’re Not the Wrong Shape — You’re a Piece of the Puzzle
Inspiration for this postThis one came to me on vacation.I wasn't in a session. I wasn't even thinking about coaching, actually.Instead, I was just sitting somewhere, watching the people around me — the way you do when you finally slow down enough to actually see. And then it hit me.Almost like a thought that had...
The Pimple That Became a Wound — Why Your Reactions Are Bigger Than the Moment
Inspiration for this postThis post came from a session with a client.She told me something very honest.When something triggers her, she goes for a walk; she breathes through it — and by the time she comes home, she has almost forgotten it happened."I'm fine," she said. "I just let it go." But then she paused....
When You Cant Find Anything Positive — And Why That is Not Your Fault
Inspiration for this postThis post came from a client session.I had given him a simple morning practice: each day, find something he was genuinely grateful for.Something real. Something positive in his life.And in our next session, he looked at me with complete honesty and said:"I'm really struggling. If I'm being truly honest — I can't...
You are Comparing Yourself to a Professional Skier — and You Have Never Even Stood on Skis
Inspiration for this postThis post was born from something I keep noticing — in my clients, and in myself.When we decide we want to make a change in our lives, something happens that we rarely catch in the moment.We start looking outward.And almost before we even realize it — we forget where we started.We forget...
When You Get Triggered — It Is Never Really About the Car
Inspiration for this postA client told me something recently that made me smile — not because it was funny, but because it was so honest.She said: "I'm usually the calm one in traffic. I let people in, I don't react, I just… move on."And then she paused."But today someone cut me off — and I...
