I went to the dentist this week. Still nerve-wracking? Yep. But what she did changed my experience. Before people can trust you, they need SHU: To be Seen, Heard, Understood.

After my sabbatical, I noticed something different: no stressful feelings before client sessions. No doubt about delivering. Just presence. I'd finally shifted from performing for clients to partnering with them.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Recalibration isn't about starting over - it's about aligning your work with who you've become, not who you were when you started.

My sparky brain connects dots brilliantly for clients. But when I'm unwell or depleted, it turns brutal, whipping out comparison, criticism and proof I'm miles behind everyone else. But I have a secret weapon!
