Now We're Getting Somewhere

In this episode, the host discusses how to overcome feeling stuck in life by emphasizing the importance of clarity and self-reflection. They explore the benefits of solitude for introspection, gaining clarity and insight, and provide strategies for deep listening to oneself to overcome stuckness.

Sometimes we go through periods where we do not see outside progress or results, despite taking the action. And that can be....frustrating (to put it mildly).   Today, I wanted to share two ideas - one extended metaphor, and one short thought - that I've been reminding myself lately, in my own season of taking action without seeing a ton of results (yet). They've given me a lot of patience - and helped me feel downright optimistic about things.   I hope they will help you as much as they've helped me.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com  

This episode is about self-development realism. To me, self-development realism is acknowledging the *reality* of your limitations when it comes to implementing ideas from podcasts, on instagram, or books.   You can consume as much self-development content as you’d like, but I don’t want you to get frustrated or overwhelmed by it. I strongly believe that the most meaningful change typically happens iteratively, over time.   So I hope this episode gives you some encouragement and, frankly, context as you listen to the rest of my podcast, or consume anything from anyone.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

In this podcast, the hosts share tips on communicating with men in relationships, including the importance of clear communication and understanding emotional needs.

The episode aims to help women better communicate with men and improve relationship dynamics for everyone.

​​In coaching my male clients, I realized that there were some common challenges that they encountered, in communicating with their female partners — and that I could often help them communicate far more effectively!   Truthfully, I hesitated to make this episode. I don't always love making gender-based generalizations - but I also felt like this was a topic that could help a lot of people.   So this week, I'm doing it. I'm sharing my best ideas about how to communicate with women, and I'm joined by a very special guest: my husband, Gil!   You'll hear my super-tactical suggestions, Gil's genius theoretical principles (he says things like "embrace the vortex" - and it is *so freaking good*), plus some fun behind-the-scenes about our relationship (there's a moment when I say: "I think the fact that you believe this concept is 90% of why we have a happy marriage.")   This episode is for you, if you're a man who sometimes struggles to communicate with women. This episode is for you, if you're a woman who sometimes struggles to explain to men why their communication isn't working. (And this episode is for you, if you are a person of any gender who wants to communicate better with anyone - but especially women!)   And stay tuned for my next episode, when we'll be talking about how to communicate with men!   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com  

On today’s podcast, I’m sharing an interview I did with my former client, Julie.   Our coaching work together covered many things – including a deep dive into decision-making + how to get better at it. In our conversation, Julie and I talk about:   + The list of super-useful thoughts she cultivated about decision-making (which you should absolutely steal).   + The 4-part decision-making process she developed in our work together (which she now uses to help the people she loves – like her roommate — make big decisions).   + Her ability to tell the difference between feelings/thoughts that are “swirl” vs. “navigational.”   + And more — including more about what it feels like to get coached!   I found myself grinning throughout this interview – Julie is such an insightful + creative person — and I’m sure you’re going to love it, too.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com

​​One of the most common questions I hear is some form of: so what actually *happens* on a coaching engagement?   This is a great question. After all, life coaching is a relatively new profession, so many people aren’t familiar with it. And different coaches run their coaching engagements in different ways.   Today I answer this question in two ways: from a more high-level arc of the overall engagement, and on the micro level within each coaching session.   I hope this episode gives you more insight on what coaching with me would be like.   Subscribe to my newsletter for encouraging + helpful insights every Sunday: katieseaver.com/newsletter   Follow me on Instagram: @thisiskatieseaver   Learn more about working with me, or just learn more about my background + why I became a coach: katieseaver.com
