Are you constantly responding to people, situations and circumstances coming at you? Do you wait for others to make decisions first and then just defer to their choices? Are you chasing gold stars?

Every entrance is also an exit. Any major transition has the capacity to be a catalyst for rebirth. It’s up to us to allow in what is possible – whether blissful or challenging – and respond to it in a life-affirming way. The Graceful Exit (Step 9 in my Jump! Coaching Process) is a transitional […]
