Hi Reader, Disconnection hides in plain sight. "It gets mistaken for ordinary life, which is why so few of us notice we've left." Ooofff.... "...so few of us notice we've left."

Hi Reader, Over the last couple of weeks, I have been inspired by my clients, through 1:1 work and in the group workshop. Inspired by hearing them go through life situations where they listen to what is right for them, and what might be wrong for them…or in other words, what is aligned or not aligned with their values and beliefs.

Hello and Happy Spring! It's Emily - from True Self Coaching & Energetics! It has been a while...... A little over two years in fact, and if you've been wondering where I went, I want to tell you. I stepped away. Not from you lightly, and not without intention. Life called me into a season that required everything I had. I took a job that became the foundation I needed — one that quietly made space for some of the biggest changes of my life: ending a 23-year marriage, selling my home,...
