When my dear friend and colleague Nicki and I were sitting on the edge of a creek in Indian Canyon in Palm Springs, we shared one of those rare, precious pauses in nature, where time feels like it has stops.The sound of water rushing over stones, the shimmer of light on leaves, the soft blue sky brushed with clouds, it was all so soothing.
We had been moving nonstop for days, immersed in back-to-back events with 65 members of Conscious Girlfriend Academy. But here, with our feet in the icy stream and our eyes closed, we leaned into silence. A few chuckles of exhaustion here and there, but mostly just stillness. That spot became a refuge. The intensity of workshops seemed to melt into the calm of the flowing water. A friend, watching from above, captured the sacredness of that moment.
Coaching with me often feels like that. A sacred pause. We begin by grounding and setting down the noise of the day. Then we step gently into the river of your own life, noticing what’s flowing, what feels blocked, and where you long to go, charting potential pathways to that and what comes up along the way. Like sitting by the creek, this time is a gift for your nervous system, a place to rest in compassion and love, while finding clarity for your next steps.
If you’re ready to step down from the cliff of your own busy life and sit at the water’s edge for a while, I’d be honored to sit across the creek from you.
