A while back I was catching up with one of my very first clients-turned-friends. (Random aside: This is one of the things I love about coaching. You get to connect with really cool people who often end up becoming lifelong buddies.)
In our conversation she mentioned that an off-the-cuff (and definitely not super serious) analogy I’d made had actually really helped her to see life differently. So much so that she still thinks about it to this day.
(This story involves references to horses and aliens … so don’t say I didn’t warn ya.)
Rae, my friend and former client, originally came to me for some relationship coaching. Even though you’d think that talking about relationships is completely different than coaching around your career or passion in life … it’s really not.
You take your beliefs, triggers and deep fears with you everywhere you go and into anything that you do. What prevents someone from having a healthy relationship is often the exact thing that’s getting in the way of having an awesome career.
Anyway, Rae was struggling to let go of something (particularly, a relationship with a guy) that was no longer healthy for her. I’m sure you can relate, in one way or another—you know intellectually that you’d be better off moving on (from the relationship, the friendship, the job, whatever)—but you still feel tied to it because it’s all you know.
I sent her an email to help her see things differently, and it changed everything for her. In this week’s Magic 8-Ball episode, I’m bringing back this classic blog from 5 years ago.
