The axiom "don't meet your heroes" does not apply to @angeladuckw - what a delight it was to get to be her student! . . We use our heroes to bring out better versions of ourselves. To model the things we don't know if we're capable of. Angela modeled the kind of instructor I want to be: comfortable, funny, humble, curious, and geez is she smart! . . When have you met someone you admire who exceeded your expectations and what did you learn from them? . . #characterlab #grit #gritparagon #angeladuckworth #hero #meetyourhero #tt #throwbackthursday
How are you keeping yourself in balance? (and helping those you love to do the same?) ... So often now we hear about work/life balance - I think there's more to it than that. What about the balance of screen to sleep? Group and solo time? A balanced diet? Each of us has different needs to consider; but we're presented with information as if there's a "right" way. ... ⚖ How do you keep yourself in balance? ⚖ Where do you struggle to? ⚖ What questions come to mind when you like about juggling all the elements in your life? ... #worklifebalance #deepquestions #findbetterquestions #balance #lunaalignmentyoga #acroyoga #balance #yoga #beach #beachlife #legsfordays ... 🧘‍♀️ with me is @alliolson23 | we were studying at @luna_alignment_yoga with @talswissa |
Going into Monday like 🥊🦁 . . We've all got beasts to wrestle. Things we want to accomplish that seem to big; or inner struggles that are overwhelming. You have to believe you can do it before it becomes possible; and likely struggle before it's done. . . Step up and get after it. What beast will you tackle today? Hit up some comments... mine is below 👇 . . #eatthefrog #getafterit #lion #wrestleyourdemons #roar

2019 you threw me for a few loops ➰➰ . I broke 2 teeth and some of my self limiting beliefs. 🤓 . I got a new car 🚗, (only) 1 black eye #bjj , and into the grad program of my dreams: Penn's Master's in Applied Positive Psychology 📚 . Some of my projects flew, and some of them failed; all of them taught me important lessons. 🤔 . I helped clients grow, change, get lean, gain self awareness and confidence. And they grew me as a coach and human being. . Coach @meganhellerer suggests in her end of year post that we name the year. 2018 was all about breaking down... 2019 is The Year That Built Me Up. 🥳 . Take a page from Megan's book: what would you name your year? Share in the comments 👇 (and follow Megan. She's a boss.) . . #2019lessons #lookingback #building #penn @uofpenn @pennsas #pennmapp #mapp15 #reflection #buildingup #nameyouryear #legsfordays #curlyhairdontcare #curlygirl
My first goal for 2019 was "reclaim Darlene Marshall" - I started the year with a divorce and name change, and I wanted to release the pain and confusion for something else. 🤔 One of my biggest successes this year was standing firmly in my sense of myself. Taking up space. Knowing my power and growing a life I'm proud of. 🥰 There's a lot of excitement coming in 2020; but I'm proud that 2019 was a good year. #top9of2019
