notes on mastering the art of transcendence and refinement with Coached By Kate
Every personality test I’ve ever taken puts the word zeal somewhere near the top for me. Wholehearted. Driven. Purpose-centered. It’s almost funny how consistent it is—this theme of having a big, bright internal fire. I am passionate. But here’s the truth no test captures: Even the most zealous person gets tired. Especially in December. Between [...]
When a Child Corrects You: Accountability, Respect, and Grace Recently, a child corrected me. I work with kids for a living so this is not a new thing for me. As the old saying goes " Kids say the darn'est things". But then after this initial incident my own kid corrected an adult and I [...]
In a "cancel society" it is easy to shut people, organizations, and differing ideas out in the name of "our health". Giving people an "out" on thinking differently, pushing through hard, loving our spouses over divorcing, and choosing church over our couches. So I want to be very clear when tackling this topic.
