🌱 Showing Up Differently Isn’t Easy

We all say we want to grow. 🌻

To communicate better. ✨

To be more patient. 🕊️

To lead with more empathy. 💛

But here’s what we don’t always talk about:

Showing up differently isn’t easy.

Because showing up differently means noticing the scripts we’ve been following — the habits, the assumptions, the defenses — and choosing to try something else.

It means pausing before snapping back. 🤐

It means holding our tongue just long enough to really hear what someone is saying. 👂

It means risking vulnerability when it feels safer to stay closed. ❤️‍🩹

None of that feels “natural” at first.

Because we’ve rehearsed our old lines for years. 🎭

When I work with clients — whether they’re parents, leaders, or just humans trying to be better for the people they care about — I see the same courage over and over again:

🌟 The willingness to try a new choice.

🌟 To practice a new response.

🌟 To fumble a little and keep going anyway.

That’s why I love bringing a little theatre into coaching. 🎭 Because in theatre, we know we don’t have to get it perfect the first time. We just have to show up and try something new.

And with each attempt, it gets easier.

More embodied.

More like you. 💫

So if you’re in the middle of trying to show up differently — as a parent, a leader, a partner, a friend — I see you. 👋

It’s not easy.

But it’s worth it. 🌱
