Good morning, Slow Down Society!!

I am so happy that you are here.

this is the 35th edition of the Sunday Slow Down -- which is a weekly recap of things that have been happening in my world -- both online and in real life.

I hope you had a lovely week.

Yesterday my oldest baby graduated from UC Davis.

We woke up at 3am to get there ---

because of an excessive heat advisory, we weren't certain how the day was going to progress.

The festivities the day before went too long and the fire dept shut it down because of too many incidents of heat stroke.

and not all of the kids got to hear their names announced.

:-(

We decided to take our chances and got there around 5:30 for a ceremony that was supposed to begin at 8am.

The next photos were taken at around 6:45 -- the sun was already quite warm and the metal bleachers made it seem hotter than the weather app on my phone said it was.

But we were fine -- and they handed out these super cool fans that I shoved into my hat to keep the rising sun from blinding me.

AND THEN ---

at 7:20 instead of 8am they started playing pomp and circumstance and the faculty and speakers filed in.

And then at 7:30 the chancellor announced that they were going to forgo ALL SPEECHES and instead read every student name ---

and the crowd hopped up on their feet and cheered and confetti canons went off.

I burst into tears.

It was a really really really good day.

:-)

I have always promised I wouldn't put pictures of my kids on the internet.

so you're going to have to take my word for it that we took a hundred million photos and that everybody was absolutely lovely.

Episode 35 of the Slow Living podcast was released this

past week, and in it, I am speaking with one of my life coaching clients, Beth.

I knew I wanted to be a life coach ever since I knew it was a "thing" --

when we first had young children, I wrote a parenting & life advice column called "Steph & Sensibility" for our local newspaper.

My coaching got put on hold as I kept having more kids and we moved a few more times.

When the lockdowns of 2020 were in full swing, I thought it was a good time to finish up my certification.

Beth was an early client of mine, and she was so gracious to be interviewed by me.

Episode #35: Real Coaching, Real Clients: Beth's Story

Listen in as we chat and Beth shares why she reached out for coaching ---

because there was ( and still is -- ) NOTHING wrong with her.

Life Coaching is all about helping you strive towards and reach your goals.

That's it. It's not therapy. It's accountability and help with goal setting and achieving.

Beth had some pretty awesome goals that she reached and I am so incredibly proud of her.

Speaking of coaching --

I was interviewed by my OWN mindset and business coach --

Amanda Joyce Weber on her One Simple Shift podcast.

In this episode (number 193), I share with Amanda on how and why I wanted to work with her and what the key take-aways were from our one-on-one work together.

I also share how I look at mindset work as two things:

1) it's like cleaning a fishtank

2) it's like the bar under the car when you're driving at Disneyland.
