Before You Call It Lazy Terrie Power Coaching … I sat down to work on an important project. Then I organized my pens. Not metaphorically. I moved them into different slots, rearranged my office, and made sure everything looked just right. Well, hello, organized pens. Then I looked at the clock. The pens looked fantastic, but I had not touched the project. What I Didn’t Consider This happened years ago during an extremely busy season. My sons were navigating school changes after COVID, my...

Sometimes growth asks us to build differently. Terrie Power Coaching … I've been thinking about something this week. School has been back in session for about four weeks now, and it finally hit me... My life is really different now. For years, August meant getting ready for another school year. It was one of my favorite times of the year. I loved the excitement, the people, the traditions...all of it. This year was different. Instead of getting a classroom ready, I was sitting at my desk...

Sometimes the best update isn't adding something new. Terrie Power Coaching … I've been thinking about something this week. Isn't it funny how we're so quick to blame ourselves when something stops working? Our first thought is usually, "I need to try harder." We rarely stop to ask if life has changed. And honestly...life changes all the time. Maybe the kids are back in school. Maybe your business has grown. Maybe you're caring for aging parents. Or maybe your priorities have quietly shifted...

A reboot isn't about starting over. Terrie Power Coaching … Last week I introduced the idea of a Reboot, Update, or Restore. Several of you reached out after reading the blog, and one question kept coming up: "Okay...but where do I start?" My answer is probably simpler than you're expecting. When we feel out of rhythm, we tend to think we need to fix everything. We start making long lists, creating new routines, or convincing ourselves that this time we're finally going to do it all. I've...

Before you start over, make sure you're solving the right problem. Terrie Power Coaching … Every August I hear the same thing. "I need to get back on track." Maybe you've said it too. Summer has a way of changing our routines. We stay up later. We travel. We say yes to things we normally wouldn't. And before we know it, August arrives and it feels like we should magically have everything figured out by Monday. Can I encourage you with one thought? Maybe nothing is wrong. Maybe you don't need...

What if you never felt ready? Terrie Power Coaching … A question for you... Have you noticed how "I just need to think about it a little more" can quietly turn into weeks...or even months? I laugh because I've said it, too. Sometimes it sounds like:"Let me do a little more research." Or..."I just need to get organized first." Or my personal favorite..."I'll start on Monday." None of those things are bad. But every now and then, they're really just another way of saying, "I'm waiting until I...

What If That Isn't True? Terrie Power Coaching … I think our brains have a favorite hobby. They make lists. Not grocery lists or to-do lists. Lists of everything that could go wrong. Why now isn't the right time. Why you're too busy. Why you don't know enough. Why someone else could do it better. The funny thing is...we rarely realize we're only reading one list. Try This Five-Minute Exercise Grab a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On the left, write down every reason you feel...

A Question Worth Asking Terrie Power Coaching … Hi Reader Have you ever noticed that one conversation can change the direction of your life? Not because someone gave you the answer. Because they asked a question you hadn't considered. I've been thinking about that a lot this month as Terrie Power Coaching celebrates five years. When I look back, I don't remember every strategy I tried. I remember the conversations. The People Behind the Progress I've realized something I didn't expect. The...

Someday Sounds So Responsible Terrie Power Coaching … Hi Reader, Someday Sounds So Responsible I didn't think I was avoiding a dream. I thought I was being practical. When I first said out loud that I wanted to become a speaker and a coach, my brain immediately started building a very convincing case. Kids in college...maybe after they graduate. A full-time job...maybe when life slows down. A busy life...maybe someday. And the tricky thing was... All of those reasons were true. That's what...
