Last week, I said goodbye to my beloved friend, Greta. She was only six years old, but in the five years she was with me, she filled my world with more love, loyalty, and quiet companionship than words can ever express.

In May, we turned our hearts toward one of life’s greatest treasures: Friendship. In a world that often celebrates independence and self-reliance, we devoted time to honoring the importance of human connection, mutual care, and the kind of love that shows up in everyday ways.

April was a great month for us at the Academy for Personal Development. During many of our client sessions and on our Morning Intentions podcast, we explored a topic that touches every part of our lives: our nervous system.

Tomorrow marks an exciting milestone – the start of the THIRD YEAR of Morning Intentions!

During this holiday season, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve shared with each of you this year. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside you as your coaches and witness your courage, growth, and resilience.

We are sooo close to Episode 200(!) of our Morning Intentions Community Podcast, and what a fantastic adventure it has been. The best part is we are only getting started.

As life coaches, we're thrilled to present our special podcast series this month, diving into the transformative wisdom of W. Timothy Gallwey's "The Inner Game of Tennis.”

It has been a whirlwind for us the past few months, and we are excited to announce that our coaching podcast, Morning Intentions, will already be on its 100th episode this Friday, May 19th! What a journey it has been.

Some of you have asked for more information about our new Morning Intentions podcast, which will begin on January 1, 2023. The most important part of our new podcast is that it will be a resource for everyone who joins us. Our podcast will be a coaching podcast, and you will learn tools as though you are coming in personally for coaching.

To show up as our best selves, we must be able to EXPRESS OUR EXPERIENCE of life with someone else. Being truly seen, heard, and known is essential to happiness. This means that we must be able to honestly express our past hurt, our current pain, our joy, our concern, our frustration, our confusion, our love, and every other experience we encounter in our lives. We must have someone to see, hear, and know us – our true authentic us.
