Terrie Power Coaching Habits That Nourish the Spirit The other night I was on my computer while Jason and I watched TV. The Wi-Fi was crawling.Jason was crunching away on his snacks.And me? I was sighing. Side-eyeing. Frustrated. Not because of the Wi-Fi. Not because of the eating. It was because my compassion tank was empty. When my spirit isn’t being cared for, little things feel huge. My patience gets thin. My empathy runs low. My joy feels far away. Have you noticed the same? Snapping at...

Terrie Power Coaching Fuel Your Body, Fuel Your Goals Hey friend, Let’s talk about your body for a minute. Not in a “new year, new you” kind of way, but in the real, everyday rhythm kind of way. Here’s the truth: your body is the engine that carries your goals forward. You can have the best plans, the prettiest planner, and the boldest dreams…but if your energy is running on fumes, consistency won’t last. And this isn’t just about your body on its own—it’s part of what I call the Circle of...

During the first half, I struggled to stay focused and stick to my goals. I was too tired to exercise, too busy to keep up with healthy habits. Stress relief came in the form of frozen custard (with Reese’s, of course). But too many visits left me sluggish instead of fueled. Then I turned it around. What...

Terrie Power Coaching Balance Isn’t Perfect—It’s Consistent And what I see happen, every time (in myself, and in so many others), that creates burnout isn’t too much—it’s all or nothing. Our brains tell us, “If you can’t do it perfectly, don’t bother.” No gym? Skip movement. No quiet hour? Skip prayer. No clean house? Why even start. And very subtly, we stop. We give up.

Terrie Power Coaching Balance isn’t about doing it all—it’s about choosing what gets your best and what gets your enough.” Here’s something I’ve noticed: life rarely slows down on its own. Emails, deadlines, kids’ schedules, church activities, errands, and “just one more thing” at night — it all piles up. And even when I thought I was “relaxing,” I realized I was filling that time with my phone in hand and the TV in the background. That rhythm wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t giving me what I needed...
