Resisting “SEE”, the first step in SEE. CHANGE. DO.

In toay’s video, I’m pulling back the curtain on group coaching with me. This is a rare sneak peak at how real and honest we get in my sessions.

In this clip, I was speaking to my LEvel 1.5 clients- the ones who have gone past the beginner level of coaching and are really digging into the work. The catch is that when you get to higher levels and your awareness increases, it often comes with more resistance. That is simply because once you SEE yourself, you may not like what is coming up.

That is OKAY. That is perfectly natural. However, this work is not about shaming yourself. I am here as a coach to support you to move through those difficult emotions. I don’t want you to beat yourself up. I simply want you to SEE what is going on so that you can know what to CHANGE and DO differently.

We are a team working together towards your highest awareness.

Today’s , we are continuing with the theme of blame. Today, we are talking about the reactions that come up when one is blaming.

Yes, blame is a natural thing that our brains do- AND it is here to TEACH US. When you notice yourself blaming, notice what reaction is coming up for you.

Are you running away from blame? Denying that you’re blaming and lying to yourself? That’s flight.
Are you angry that you are blaming? That’s fight.

Look at where you want to ignore or downplay blame and see your reactions. THAT IS YOUR TRUTH. Right there is where your work lies.

Like I said last week, Blame is part of the process. Move through it. Notice your reactions. Learn your patterns so that you can increase your awareness and responsiveness over time. But step 1 is to not ignore blame when it shows up.

Are you afraid to blame life (or God)?

Today’s touches on blame. For those who have been with me for a while, you know that blame happens. It’s not a “bad thing”; it’s an automatic process of the brain.

In my coaching sessions, I often ask clients, “Who are you blaming for this don’t want situation?” and one of my clients wanted to say “God,” but she was scared to be that honest. So today’s goes out to everyone who has ever felt guilty, scared, or ashamed about blaming God during hard times.

It is perfectly OKAY to blame God, the universe, Allah, etc. Whatever you might believe in, you are loved no matter what. You are not a bad person for blaming a higher power. You are allowed to blame and still be loved.

Don’t you still love your kids when they lash out and blame you? That same grace is yours. It is totally normal to have blaming thoughts and blaming feelings. In fact, that honesty is key to doing your work and becoming more responsive over time. Be honest. Blame is part of the process. Move through it and know that you are loved.

The Key to Your Work Lives in Small “Don’t Wants”

I often say, how you do one thing is how you do everything. In the WAY process, it’s a skill to increase your awareness. Today’s is a protip- pay attention to the SMALL don’t wants.

If you really want to deepen in this work, practice mindfulness when the stakes are low, when the inconvenience is minor. That way, you are training your mind to be more aware during the bigger don’t wants. If you melt down when you are stuck in traffic, how do you expect to handle life’s big blows (i.e. death in the family, job layoff, etc.)?

My WAY program is a process of getting to know yourself better through increased awareness and daily mindfulness. The best way to do that is to practice even on smaller don’t wants. That is the time to apply the steps you’ve learned until it becomes second nature.

Are you accidentally creating codependent children?

Evolutionarily, humans are dependent on others to survive. As babies, we need our parents to provide everything. Dependency isn’t a bad thing, it is natural. However, CO-DEPENDENCY is maladaptive.

Co-dependency is when we THINK we need the external other for something. As we grow, we gain more and more independence. As a society, we value physical and financial independence, but we aren’t teaching our youth how to be emotionally and psychologically independent.

Many parents are accidentally teaching their children co-dependency by modeling it. Today’s asks you to notice where you are co-dependent. Look at where you are looking towards the external other to regulate YOUR internal emotions. Look at how often you try to control what others think or feel.

In order to raise independent young people, break this cycle of co-dependency and control and move towards more positive parenting practices.

Building Awareness Endurance

Awareness is a skill like everything else. Today’s is a lesson on building your awareness endurance.

It’s easy to be aware when things are calm. It’s much harder to apply the skills when your kids are misbehaving or you’re in a tense argument with a peer for example.

The challenge is being aware that you’re in a don’t want WHILE it’s happening. That’s where the real work happens. Can you see yourself reacting? Can you see your thoughts? Are you arguing right now to be right? Or are you trying to communicate, it’s just not happening effectively?

Asking yourself these questions is how you stretch your endurance muscles.

Are you spinning in unhappiness? Are you stuck in the story of the thing/moment/event etc. that caused you pain?

If you find yourself talking about how unhappy you are over and over again, it can serve two different purposes.

Firstly, it garners attention. People listen and they care for you and you feel supported by your loved ones. This is wonderful and necessary at the beginning of a healing process. But after a while, people are tired. They won’t tell you to your face but they are definitely thinking “enough already, get over it”.

While no one should rush your healing process and you’re allowed to take as much time as you need, there does come a point where the unhappiness is no longer serving you. You’re not even getting positive attention anymore. You’re just stuck.

Today’s encouraged you to let that unhappiness serve your EVOLUTION instead. How do you do that? You must move from ruminating to analyzing with curiosity. Ask yourself from a place of conscious awareness, “What is here for me? How can I grow from this experience?”

First SEE that you’re stuck. Then CHANGE from ruminating to asking yourself those important questions and lastly DO something different by approaching your unhappiness as something to learn from not something to suffer in.

Vulnerability births REAL Connection

Today’s is all about the relationship between vulnerability and connection. Everyone wants deeper connections; however, they are not always willing to do what is necessary to cultivate deeper connections. The key to real connections is vulnerability! Are you willing to give some vulnerability? Yes, it is a risk to open up emotionally, I understand that. However, the other side of that is the reward of connection. You have to be able to take that risk in order to create those deep, meaningful relationships.

Of course, use discretion. There’s no need to risk emotional exposure with everyone. However, those relationships that mean a lot to you require vulnerability for those real connections to thrive.

This is NOT the Wizard of Oz

Happy New Year community. I’m coming in hot for the new year. This is often a time for reflection, setting goals, and making resolutions. While you are deciding what you want for 2026, I’d like to remind you that there is no magic wizard, secret formula, or shortcut on this life journey. YOU are the magic you are looking for.

My coaching program is called W.A.Y. (What About You) for that specific reason. The logo for my company features an arrow pointing inward, for that reason. All the goals and aspirations you have for the new year begin and end with YOU. Are you tapped into what you are truly thinking and feeling? Are you being honest with yourself? Or are you letting the influence of others decide what your life should be? Of course, guidance is valuable, but don’t ever let someone else’s guidance make you stray from the path you want for yourself.

I often remind clients that I am not the Wizard of Oz. I can’t solve their problems or give them answers on what to do next. What my coaching does is guide you towards a deeper, more aware relationship with yourself. That way, you can have trust and confidence in your own decisions. You are your own magic.

A Sincere Thank you to the Vitamin J Community

Today’s opens with a Trinidadian proverb: “What doh meet yuh, doh pass yuh.” Translated into American English, this proverb says, “What hasn’t met you yet, hasn’t passed you.” In other words, whatever you are experiencing in life is meant FOR YOU. On this journey of life, you will meet what is meant for you, even if you are trying to avoid it.

Yes, I start this video off jokingly, but today I would like to thank each and every person who follows this account. My words were meant to come across your feeds, and you all were meant to touch my life with the gift of your comments, likes, DMs, etc. It is humbling to see this community grow over the last seven years, completely organically. Whether you are former clients who have come to TheraPeeds Family Center, or clinicians who have taken my online and in-person courses, or if you are a young person who found me right here on Instagram and we have yet to meet in person, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENCE. I make these videos from the heart with each and every person in mind. It is such a gift to be considered a source of information for all of you.

I am so deeply honoured community. Have a wonderful holiday season, and we shall see each other in the new year.
