When I first started studying to become a life coach, I was completely mystified by the words of my teacher, Brooke Castillo. She told me that my circumstances did not cause my feelings, and I was sure she had to be wrong. Surely, when I'm angry at my husband, it's because of what he did or … Continue reading Where Do Feelings Come From?

#BlogElul 25: Change
I'm actually writing this post on the Friday, because I don't write posts on Shabbat, and I have to go out and help run a service after Havdallah. So if you are wondering, this is a pre-written post. A change for me! We are getting closer and closer to the end of this month of … Continue reading #BlogElul 25: Change
#BlogElul 23 – Begin
So I went to look at my old blog posts about this verb, and I had to laugh. September is clearly the new January here, here and here. So many cycles end and then begin this time of year. For me, this year, there's the beginning of my new coaching career. I think I've always … Continue reading #BlogElul 23 – Begin

I'm totally loving that practicum, but I need … Continue reading Who Wants to Help Me Practise Coaching?
#BlogElul 28: Give
On this penultimate day of Elul, the word that Rabbi Sommer gave us is Give. How appropriate. Last year I wrote about scarcity and abundance. This year I am thinking about helping people. In the abundance model, you give away lots and lots of content, and charge for maybe the last 10%, the premium model, … Continue reading #BlogElul 28: Give
#BlogElul 14: Remember
Today's word is Remember. Last year I wrote about all sorts of things that the Torah wants us to remember - remember the Shabbat, Rosh HaShanah as the Day of Remembrance, and most paradoxically of all, remember to erase the memory of Amalek from under the sky. How can you remember to erase a memory? … Continue reading #BlogElul 14: Remember
