Episode notes
Transformation vs. Realization
- True transformation comes from realization, not perpetual self-improvement.
- Be still and realize you already belong, ending the endless search for something more.
Subtraction, Not Addition
- Subtract, don't add, to find peace; set down the need for self-improvement.
- Realize you are already complete, rather than constantly seeking external validation.
The Essence of Coaching
- Coaches often struggle to articulate their work because it's about being, not doing.
- True coaching facilitates awareness of deep inner truths, not intellectual understanding.
