The #1 question I hear people asking these days… “What do I do now?”

Last week’s note about prototyping seems to have struck a chord with many of you, so as promised today I’m sharing more about the prototyping I’m doing in my business.

If we never try something, if we never put ourselves out there, we’ll never change.

If you’re feeling like you haven’t quite landed in 2025 yet – like a lava lamp that’s colliding and changing shape and being pulled apart and remade again – it’s not too late.

What I’ve learned as a coach – not to mention as a human being going through my own life transitions – is that every meaningful life change begins with honest reflection.

Anytime you’re faced with a big life decision or question, it’s vital that you step back and consider what problem you’re trying to solve.

As a coach, I’ve been an up close witness to what it looks like to live authentically – and my reminder to you (and to me) is that living authentically doesn’t mean living perfectly.

What does Living Strenuously mean to you? And if you’re ready to stop living strenuously, what are you ready to start doing instead?

The #1 issue I see getting in the way of people’s progress? Not being able to show up fully as their whole and authentic selves.
