While reading this post, I felt the seismic shift that comes with clarity, like clouds opening up to make way for the sun. Thank you, Jeanette.

That is so encouraging, Lisa. What will you do now with that clarity?

I’m a Substack novice trying to find her voice. This post has opened my eyes in meaningful ways. I’m still finding my way but your words feel like someone has just turned a floodlight on in the darkness. I’m grateful. I’m also your newest subscriber.

A brilliant post, Jeanette. I often work with clients on one sentence definitions of what they're looking for, but I still have some work to do on being specific about what I offer. I've been focussing too much on who I have served and currently serve, which has kept this fairly broad. You've given me a lot to think about. Thank you.

So glad it helped, Claire. I've found another set of eyes is invaluble for clients to get clarity because we're too close to our own work sometimes.

Yes, we can use our own methods to a certain extent - and I try to - but we can't coach ourselves 😊 I'll be coming back for regular clarity checks. Thank you.

Thank you, Jeanette. As always, your words worth a lot for me.

I'm wondering how it would go to include a few descriptors - widen the reach just a little?

What would you suggest, Fiona?

OK let me have a think...perhaps

Do you sometimes feel like it is all too much? Your body has begun to behave differently, your resilience to life events seems less strong while your reactivity is through the roof. Or maybe you want the opposite - retreat and surrender it's all too much. If you are feeling overwhelmed by an ageing mind and body, coping with ageing parents or feeling as if your life and/or the world in general is getting out of control, I help you get the insights, knowledge and mindset shift needed to cope with chaotic and challenging times.
