We unpack: ● The value of coaching is (why bother getting a coach?) ● The tension between making it more accessible for people & still requiring they get "big skin" in the coaching game ● What it means to live whole-heartedly ● Letting go of the "if only's" ● The harm of white wellness bubbles & how to get better as white people ● What courage looks like to each of us in OUR lives ● The myths around the fulfillment of "goals" making us happy (and this is coming from a opera singer who performed in Carmen at the Met) People & Resources mentioned: The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford Allison Tenney Ignited Womxn Summit Chrissy King's Diversity & Inclusion 101 Eckhart Tolle Jess Lively Mark Fisher Fitness Brene Brown You can find Shirin at: @wholeheartedcoaching on Instagram & Facebook www.wholehearted-coaching.com You can find Beth at: @bethclaytoncoach on Instagram www.soulbodylife.com Grab your free e-book, "The Secrets in Your Sabotage" at www.soulbodylife.com/free-stuff Beth's TedX RIGHT HERE.
