Good news

If you have been following along with me, you may remember my bright spot from about a month ago. I had the opportunity to coach a student on her interview for admission to a prestigious professional program. She had a way of articulating what my coaching did for her that made me feel seen and reminded me of the value I bring:

I felt grounded, clear, and much more intentional in how I showed up than I would have a few months ago… No matter what happens next, I know I showed up as myself and your guidance helped me be more confident and assured in doing so. 

She called me last week, and I knew. She got in! She started talking and crying and I started crying pretty immediately. I felt her joy radiating through the phone. It was one of those rare and most amazing moments. All her hard work paid off, and she will be starting her next chapter in the fall. I am honored to have been a small part of her journey

She was telling me how she has been in limbo all year, waiting to see what would happen, and now all of a sudden she isn’t! It’s a good reminder. When we’re in the waiting time we can feel stuck or behind. We don’t always know it will work out, and of course things don’t always go how we want them to. But she is proof that they can, and they do! 

So keep chipping away at your goals, and keep that hope. Do you need a partner to help you on your path? I am always here.
