I've been thinking about crabs lately. 🦀 No, not THOSE kids of crabs...!😬 Cancer season is represented by the crab, and crabs move sideways. That's the most natural, efficient way for them to move. Meanwhile, we live in a culture that constantly asks: What's next? What should you be doing???

There are seven questions I ask my clients when they're going through a transition. The most important one might be this: What needs to be honored before you move forward? Even good endings deserve our attention. The full list of 7 questions is in the latest ep of Beyond the Type. .

Closure is rarely handed to you. Most of the time, you have to create it yourself. Where are you waiting for closure that you might actually need to create for yourself? 🎧 I'm talking about this in the latest ep of Beyond the Type, including a few simple ways to create your own closure.

We are six months into this year, and most of us are still measuring ourselves against a list we made when everything felt possible, and the slate felt clean. And then life happened. So instead of asking, "did I do the thing?"- what if you asked, "Am I okay?" That's the real midyear check-in.

1️⃣ Where has your energy been going - and does it feel like energy well spent? 2️⃣ Where have you felt most like yourself this year? Where have you felt most… managed? 3️⃣ What has been quietly asking for your attention that you keep putting off? Full episdoe on the Beyond the Type podcast:

There's a difference between being around people and actually feeling known by them. And a lot of us are walking around, starving for the second one without even realizing it. New Podcast ep is up: www.swansoncoaching.com/podcasts/bey... #loneliness #belonging #connection #feelinglonely

If you are feeling triggered or dragged in by someone else's emotions, or have been around someone who is emotionally reactive, this can be a lot. Take care of YOU first and foremost, and find support if you can. A trusted friend, spiritual advisor, therapist, or coach. You are not alone. 💗

That voice that says you're not smart enough, not ready, not good enough for a relationship, not the kind of person who gets to have that thing? It sounds like you. But it didn't start with you. More in this latest ep from the "Beyond the Type" podcast: www.swansoncoaching.com/podcasts/bey...

Congrats Susan Crawford! 🎉🎉🎉 Liberals will maintain a majority on the Supreme Court and continue the progress WI has been historically known for. Crawford will be making decisions regarding our democracy: workers' rights, women’s health care, election certification, gerrymandering, etc. FORWARD!!!

"We were wrong that day," she told the network. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation." Hemphill argued that Trump's government was trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that."

Do you set New Year resolutions? If so, do this first: Take inventory of where you are NOW. If we do not know how we *currently* feel, think, and act - we have no starting point from which to move forward. Wrote a blog (and recorded an audio version!) about this - see comments for link.

My Great-Aunt Theodora, shown in the photo, committed suicide when she was about 30 years old. Her death was not talked about. No one knows if she was working as a nurse at the asylum - or if she was a patient there when she hung herself. More about Aunt Theo and shame in the comments.

As we move toward a New Year, ask yourself: 1) What do you need to release 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 to make space for something new? (thoughts, beliefs, emotions) 2) What are you no longer needing or wanting that is 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 of you? (people, jobs, etc) 3) What needs to 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩 so you can make a 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚?

In uncertain times, DON’T DO THIS: Don't believe everything you think. Don't believe everything you read. Don't believe everything you hear. Don't assume. DO THIS INSTEAD: Stay curious. Stay open. Find information through credible sources. Surround yourself with supportive people.

Highly recommend listening to this interview with Nikole Hannah-Jones: www.cityarts.net/event/nikole...

A quote from Nikole Hannah-Jones: "“We are allowing so many of our fellow Americans to suffer unnecessarily. And instead of us being mad at the people who caused the suffering, we scapegoat immigrants, we scapegoat trans people, we scapegoat people of color. And who is actually winning? It’s not us. It’s going to be a rude awakening when all of a sudden the people who are picking our food, putting our food on the table, building our houses - making sure that we can live the life that we live - are rounded up in camps because we think that they’re the problem, not the people who hold all the power.”

A recent client said, "One thing I’ve been doing is reaching out to those who are upset with the election results. You know, to offer them my support.” They didn't vote for Harris, but, were leading with empathy and compassion. And where there is empathy and compassion, there is always hope. 💗
