How to start practicing now

My mom broke her hip at almost 94.

You know what she said from the hospital bed? "I guess I needed a new adventure. I just wish I had finished cleaning my house." Then she asked if the cute physical therapist gives baths.

Today I'm sharing what my mom's chili dog obsession taught me about what really drives us. Plus, the one question I asked my coaching group that left everyone speechless. It's about mastery, facing your passion, and paying attention to what naturally pulls you forward.

Featured Story

My sister texted me: "It's about mom, call me."

My heart dropped. When your mom's almost 94, those texts hit different. Turns out she'd fallen taking her cat to the vet—something she wasn't supposed to do alone. Broke her hip. Needed it replaced.

But my mom? She saw it as an adventure. Said she liked hospital food and was glad someone else did the dishes. Put in a request for the cute physical therapist to come to her house.

Then she told me what really threw off her plans—she was on her way to Hardee's for a chili dog when she fell. First thing she wanted when released? That chili dog. My sister picked her up from the hospital and stopped at Hardee's before taking her home.

The girl had her priorities.

Important Points

Mastery comes from clinical hours—I've logged 1,232 hours of individual coaching in 22 months, 220 hours of group calls.

The question that stumped my group: What's the one thing you'd do next year that would change everything about who you are?

What naturally drives you is probably giving you the most joy—pay attention to your version of the chili dog.

Memorable Quotes

"I guess I needed a new adventure. I just wish I had finished cleaning my house."

"Pay attention to what you're naturally driving yourself to do. It's probably what's giving you the most joy."

"If you want to live long and prosper, eat more chili dogs, or your version of it."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Track your clinical hours in whatever you want to master—stop waiting and just start doing it.

Ask yourself what would change everything if you faced it—not fancy stuff, just the thing lingering inside you've been avoiding.

Notice what you naturally drive yourself toward—that's probably where your real joy lives, not where you think it should be.
