• Hi all, I couldn’t be with you last wednesday, we had a huge thunderstorm and I lost power just before starting. I am travelling to my new home tomorrow so it is another miss… but I be there in July, fro an empty but new home! No time to work on turning points story… that’s how it is.
    take care ,

  • Hi everyone. I’ve had my head down and quiet, but trust me when I say I think about you all often. <3

    I have been REALLY pulling back while I am mid-transition in careers to honor my own energy and my body, but I miss ya'll!

    Here is my Turning Point Story I've drafted for this month's content. I'd love to have your thoughts.…Read More

  • I had to write an Origin Story for my speaker profile. I’m sharing it below. This is more than sufficient for my purposes, and I have no intention of lengthening my story using this month’s template. So I’ll be bowing out of the remainder of this month’s sessions. . . Have fun!

    Have you ever felt like you were running on fumes, but didn’t…Read More

    • This works well for your website and social posts. I do think it lacks emotion. The only emotion is the burnout.
      You mention Joy and simplicity of being on the road, but you haven’t painted a true picture of what that looks like. You are just telling me, which makes it impossible for me to actually see. That last sentence needs more, otherwise…Read More

    • I like all the travel and adventure language (running on fumes/empty, climb, brink, etc.) I agree with Amy about wanting more details on the sunny side of things.

      The second paragraph of your post (starting with “But”) might read “But after 18 months of working from home, I was running on empty. I found myself back where I started, on the brink…Read More

  • As a violin teacher and chamber music coach, I had been working at five locations for two or three years and it was starting to take a toll. Between the long drives, the disparate calendars, and the large number of students, I didn’t feel able to give my students the attention they deserve. I was frequently tired and haggard, unable to remember w…Read More

    • This is obviously not the whole thing, and it’s already long. Maybe publish as a serial? The thought of a series of videos about this topic makes my stomach churn. Maybe I’ll be ready for it after I post the other videos that have been queuing up for CPC!

      • This is good, Keep going. We can trim it once you have it all down on paper. Sometimes dumping it all out of your beautiful brain and getting all the steps down will help. We can also make sure you have it worked out so your stomach doesn’t churn. I would love for you to share with us what is the cause for the churn. It is good to talk…Read More

        • Thank you❣️ The churn is partly due to the backlog and partly due to me not having enough distance from this story to feel ready to tell it on camera.

          It’s all I can do to keep up with the preparations for these videos–I’m having a hard time actually getting around to making them. Things should be better starting this weekend–summer schedule is…Read More

  • I wanted to do more bullets points but turns out like a story. It feels a bit long… anyway, here goes (seriously, it feels like a roller coaster !):

    I had been working in the field for in an International Humanitarian organization for more than 10 years. I loved their values, I loved the work colleagues carry all over the world, I loved what…Read More

    • Great story–I feel your ups and downs! Love the ending.

    • I see some themes coming through this story. Way to go in getting it all down. If you focus on “time” and “building a foundation” – how can that relate to the work you do with your clients?

  • (I also have a question re intrinsic motivation or extrinsic motivation – I feel that Shannon’s story – she knew she had to make a change from her insides. I feel like I had some emotions pre-C happening and Covid was the tip of the iceberg for me deciding to leave. I’m not sure I’ve “intrinsically” returned to teaching. – Does this make…Read More

    • Is teaching Tango something you love to do, or is it a job? is there something else that you want to do that will bring more joy? Does it truly matter whether you got there through internal or external circumstances? Maybe the internal signals were blocked by everything that was going on. Maybe other stuff didn’t work out because your heart wasn’t…Read More

      • oh such good good questions our lovely insightful wordsmithsman! i am so transparent!!!! I think I’m wondering all these things at the moment…. thank you thank you thank you as always…

        • You are most welcome! And know you are loved and supported as you are figuring it out!

        • Joel has total nailed what I was thinking. The emotions that you were feeling are more stronger than telling people you taught swim lessons. Here is a small tweak to help guide you as you take this to the next level. I am not sure if this is TRUE though. So, don’t use it if not. But as a guide of the next level.

          I went to my parents’ home in A…Read More

    • I see what you mean with intrinsic and extrasinc. and I am nor sure it matters for that purpose. I d love to see a bit more of your background : what were you doing before, why did you have enough ? What is tango for you ?
      Reading your story also makes me say that there is something, at some point, even tiny, that shows us the way (or actually,…Read More

  • When COVID hit, many of my violin students could no longer afford lessons, so I took on a few piano students. As the economy adjusted to the pandemic, more and more students came to me—for both piano and violin.

    At that time I was teaching at five locations. Between the long drives and the large number of students, I didn’t feel able to give my…Read More

    • I feel like your point of no return is that moment when you decided that you couldn’t teach at 5 locations anymore.. how long did you do that for before you made that decision??? Did you decide on your own to simplify to 2 locations 1 schedule? what does that entail? Did you already know your like-minded instructor who you hired to help? and you…Read More

    • I like this a lot. Does “at this time…” describe pre-Covid or during Covid?
      You might consider turning up the emotion a bit.
      Examples:
      – Between the long drives & the large number of students, I was struggling & frustrated, I didn’t feel I was able to give my students the attention they deserve. After a lot of thought and a hell of a lot of…Read More

  • The Turning Point for me was watching my mother slowly die of a terrible desease call dementia (May is still hard for me) and now my husband with cancer and lewy body dementia and the doctors fix? Take this drug or that drug.
    I am an educator and research for me is a key to learning! I dove into Healthy living and decided the next step was Healthy…Read More

    • Great first draft. Do you feel you are emotionally ready to dive deeper to tell more of this story? There needs to be the “snake” or “roller coaster” to get that soul-level connection with people.

    • Powerful and moving situation! The story seems fragmented. If you’re not ready to dive deeper into the first paragraph, you can build on your story with Shannon’s steps and turning points. Being able to weave in “everyone needs a doctor” and “be their own advocate” to connect to the set-up is a bonus. If you’re like me, you have the experience but…Read More

    • I look forward to hearing more about your decision to become a full on health coach. did anyone try to “stop” you ? did you have an internal struggle with your decision?

      • Hi Daniela, No one has tried to stop me. The decision was very strong without a struggle. after watching my mother lose all aspect of her life with dementia, it killed me. Now watching the same thing happen to my husband is even worse. Dementia, cancer, liver disease – you name it! We can all learn how to better our health and lifestyles. I do…Read More

    • How do you feel about this compared to before?

    • I like them, and I chopped them up & combined them as an alternative. I felt some were kind of saying similar things and stress & clarity weren’t that strong statements. A lot of people offer that. If you want to keep them closer to how you had them &/or make them stand out, I feel like there might be a stronger way to state them.

      Almost a…Read More

      • thank you Joel ! It is a great alternative. True that it is harder to talk about energies and soul.. all the invisible world in general …
