We often think growth requires effort.

Figuring ourselves out.
Fixing what feels wrong.
Learning how to manage life better.

But what if life itself is already doing the teaching?

Not through dramatic breakthroughs—but through ordinary moments.

A familiar insecurity.
A tense conversation.
A flicker of doubt.

These aren’t problems to solve. They’re invitations to notice something deeper.

In Letting Life Be Your Teacher, father and daughter George Pransky and Erika Bugbee explore how clarity and resilience naturally return as we begin to see how experience is created from the inside out.

Nothing to practice.
Nothing to remember.
Just a quieter way of seeing what’s already happening.

This note came in from a reader who found The Secret to Mental Health during one of the lowest points in her life, and with her permission, we wanted to share it with you. Years of chronic fatigue, insomnia, and depression had left her feeling exhausted and without hope. Like so many people, she had tried countless approaches to feel better. And like so many people, she was still searching.

A few pages at a time, something simple began to shift. She started to see something new about her own mind — and about just how much stressful thinking she had been doing for so many years. Nothing was forced. Nothing was practiced. But a quiet realization began to take hold, and with it came space. Relief. Energy. A return to herself.

Today, she says her life improves week by week — and that she’s able to be present with her children again.

Stories like this remind us why sharing this understanding matters. When people begin to see how their experience is created from the inside out, something profound yet natural can begin to unfold. Not through effort or willpower — but through insight.

If you or someone you love is navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, or simply searching for a deeper understanding of the mind, this book has quietly helped thousands of people rediscover their innate mental health and resilience.

Have you ever noticed how something can feel like a huge problem…
and later, from a different feeling, it’s just gone?

Nothing outside changed.
Only the state of mind you were in while looking.

This understanding alone brings enormous relief—and it’s something people often see for themselves in Tea & Cookies.

Life doesn’t need to be fixed.
It just needs to be understood.

This spring, George Pransky and his daughter, Erika Bugbee are offering a 4-part live webinar series exploring how life itself becomes the teacher—through ordinary moments, everyday challenges, and real human experience.

Letting Life Be Your Teacher is a series of live conversations, not a course or a method. There’s nothing to practice—just space to listen, reflect, and notice what naturally unfolds.

Begins April 14 • Live on Zoom
Recordings included

Insecurity is simply a product of thought, not a reflection of our abilities.

This quote comes from a blog written for coaches — but the truth in it reaches far beyond coaching.

Insecurity isn’t something reserved for certain roles or stages of life. It shows up for all of us — in relationships, parenting, work, creativity, and the quiet moments when we’re alone with our thoughts.

When insecurity appears, it can feel deeply personal and so convincing. Like a signal that something is wrong with you. That you’re lacking, behind, or not measuring up.

But insecurity isn’t a reflection of your abilities or your worth.

It’s simply a moment of thinking being taken seriously in a low state of mind.

In those moments, perspective narrows. We temporarily lose sight of our own wisdom, experience, and capacity — not because they’ve disappeared, but because the mind isn’t settled enough to see clearly.

And when the mind settles, nothing needs to be rebuilt.
What’s always been there becomes obvious again.

This understanding applies everywhere — in our personal lives and our professional ones. Wherever we’re human, thought is at work.

When we’re upset, stuck, or in conflict with someone, it often feels personal. But what George Pransky points to here is something much simpler—and far more freeing.

We each experience life through our own lens of thought and experience. Our histories, conditioning, and moment-to-moment thinking quietly shape what feels true, obvious, or threatening to us. And without realizing it, we often assume others are seeing the same world we are.

This audio gently explores how conflict arises when we project our reality onto someone else—and how much ease becomes possible when we recognize that everyone is living in a separate reality shaped by their own thinking.

Not as a problem to solve.
Not as something to fix.
But as something to understand.

From that understanding, humility replaces certainty. Curiosity replaces defensiveness. And respect creates space for connection—without needing agreement.

Separate Realities is an hour-long audio with George Pransky that offers a deeper look at:
• how thought creates our experience of the world
• why misunderstandings are so common
• and how relationships soften when we stop assuming others see what we see

“Living in the moment with a clear mind is everyone’s birthright.” — George Pransky

This simple line points to something deeply hopeful — and often forgotten.

Clarity, wisdom, and even what we call “genius” aren’t qualities reserved for a special few. They aren’t earned through effort, discipline, or force. They arise naturally when the mind settles and becomes quiet enough to see what’s already here.

In The Obvious, Wisdom & Genius, George explores the difference between thinking from memory, belief, or opinion — and the kind of fresh understanding that comes from a clear, present mind. When we’re not busy trying to figure things out, manage ourselves, or improve who we are, something else takes the lead. Common sense returns. Insight appears. What once felt complicated becomes obvious.

This audio isn’t about techniques or strategies. It’s an invitation to notice how much intelligence is already built into being human — and how easily it shows up when we stop interfering with it.

If you’ve ever sensed that clarity feels closer than you’ve been taught to believe…
If you’ve noticed that your best ideas arrive when you’re not trying…
If you’re curious about what becomes possible when the mind quiets…

Most of us were never taught how to be with our low moods.

We were taught to fix them.
Push through them.
Talk ourselves out of them.
Or judge ourselves for having them in the first place.

But being graceful with your lows doesn’t mean doing anything at all.

It means allowing the low to be there without turning it into a problem to solve. Without assuming it means something is wrong with you or your life. Without rushing to escape it.

When you begin to notice your thinking—rather than getting caught inside it—something softens. You start to see that moods move. They rise and fall on their own. What felt heavy an hour ago can feel lighter later, not because you fixed it, but because the mind naturally resets when it’s not being resisted.

This understanding brings relief.
Not relief from never feeling low again—but relief from fearing the low.

From that place, compassion replaces self-criticism. Patience replaces urgency. And the lows no longer feel so personal or permanent.

So many of us have been taught that change requires effort, discipline, and willpower—that we must push, fix, or improve ourselves to feel better, think better, or live better.

But what if that entire premise is off?

In Awakening the Health Within, Dr. George Pransky points to something radically simpler:
that insight, energy, and clarity don’t come from trying harder—they arise naturally when we reconnect with the health that’s already present within us.

When we’re not battling our thoughts…
When we’re not forcing motivation or self-improvement…
When we’re not using effort to override how we feel…

Something else becomes available.

A quiet clarity.
Fresh insights that feel personal and alive.
Energy that isn’t manufactured—but restored.

This work isn’t about managing symptoms or mastering techniques. It’s about understanding the source of our experience and recognizing that beneath busy thinking, discouragement, or self-doubt, there is a deeper intelligence already working on our behalf.

As George so beautifully says, when you awaken to your own health, insights and high energy levels come naturally.

🎧 Awakening the Health Within is a 39-minute audio that gently invites you into that understanding—offering an alternative to willpower, effort, and endless self-fixing.

“When I have a thought from a deeper level, I feel lucky.”

There’s a quiet kind of luck that doesn’t come from effort or striving.
It arrives when the mind settles enough for something truer to surface.

Most of our thinking is busy, habitual, reactive—trying to fix, figure out, or protect. But every so often, without trying, a different kind of thought appears. It feels softer. Simpler. More alive. It doesn’t push or persuade. It just lands.

You might notice it when you stop replaying a conversation and suddenly see the other person with more compassion.
Or when a problem you’ve been wrestling with loosens its grip, and a gentle next step becomes obvious.
Or when nothing externally changes, yet everything feels lighter.

That’s the deeper level Linda Pransky is pointing to—the place beneath effort, beneath analysis, where wisdom quietly lives. You don’t manufacture thoughts from here. You receive them.

And when one comes, it really does feel like luck.
Not because it’s rare—but because we’re not always quiet enough to notice.

In Tea & Cookies, these moments are welcomed, shared, and trusted. There’s no pressure to perform or figure anything out—just space for the mind to settle and for deeper understanding to naturally rise.

Sometimes the most meaningful thoughts don’t feel clever at all.
They feel like home.

“Rapport means you operate off of a continuing meeting of the minds.” - Dr. George Pransky

So much of how we try to influence others—at work, in relationships, as parents, as leaders—happens without us even realizing it. We feel pressure. We want change. We want things to go a certain way. And without noticing, we slip into control, persuasion, urgency, or force.

In this talk, George Pransky points to a quieter, more enduring truth: real influence doesn’t come from power or coercion. It comes from rapport.

Rapport isn’t a technique. It’s a state of mind.
It’s what happens when your own thinking settles enough to truly meet another person where they are—without judgment, agenda, or the need to win. From that space, understanding naturally flows, and influence follows without effort.

What becomes obvious, when you slow down and look deeper, is this:
When there’s a genuine meeting of minds, people don’t need to be pushed. They move on their own.

This conversation explores how coercion often sneaks in when we’re stressed or reactive, why it may “work” short-term but damages trust long-term, and how relationships—especially with children, partners, or colleagues—change when respect and understanding lead the way.

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to get through to someone, this talk offers a profound shift in how you see influence itself.

As the new year begins, I wanted to share one final note about the How to Be a Coach – Guided Program, beginning next Friday.

If you’ve been feeling curious, or quietly drawn, I want you to know something important: This isn’t just a training. It’s seven months of exploring the deeper nature of the mind in community, seeing more together than any of us would see on our own.

Across 14 live sessions, we’ll move through each module of the course slowly and spaciously. You’ll watch the material on your own between calls. Then we’ll come together for grounded conversation, shared insights, and real examples of coaching from a quiet mind.

If you want 2026 to be the year you coach from more clarity, more grounding, more trust in your own wisdom, I would truly love to have you with us.

Enrollment closes tomorrow.
We begin January 9.

Happy New Year everyone, may you see your innate resilience, wisdom and curiosity as each day unfolds.

With warmth and excitement,
Jenn
