Just a reminder that I work with partnerships and groups. Whether they’re romantic, work or creative partnerships- or even improv troupes. Yeah, even improv. Even the one guy in the group who does an old timey radio voice when it’s not called for.

Self-promotion always feels like shit.

So let me say for them: Hana's a damned good coach that helped me immensely. I would recommend their services a thousand times over.

Working my ass off to promote my business because I’ve been feeling better for a while, but let me just say advertising all feels like bullshit, everything but my actual coaching feels like bullshit and the job title feels like bullshit and I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone thought it was bullshit.

We think and act like kids are SO DUMB but what's even worse is they KNOW we do!

Sorry for substack link, but I have to share this old article to new people because I have to unpin it before my dad's book comes out- he fears others will read articles like this, think we didn't resolve our issues, and bring it up in interviews? substack.com/home/post/p-...

Rather than holding expectations, set aside time when you are allowed to meet none. No obligations either. No responsibilities. Do this repeatedly, with loved ones whenever possible, and one of those times will be one of the best time of your life.

If you often ruminate on why people take so long to reply to you, have you tried being an exhausting communicator from the start?

Forever beefing with the speed of life because WHY CAN'T WE PAUSE TO PROCESS A DAMN THING??

ME/CFS patients have been fighting for recognition since the 80s. I often watch this Golden Girls clip when I need validation and so I pass it unto thee, my chronically fatigued brethren: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzUE...

Therapists (and other coaches who specialize in things that I don’t!) I am actively building my referral network! I need more:
- International therapists or therapists outside of California
- People who work on a sliding scale or have sliding scale rates
- Therapists in the US who take insurance 1/

If you’re skeptical of coaching, totally get it, see a therapist! But please, please, please don’t use a chatbot instead of either!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S PREGNANT WITH? ANOTHER HEDGEHOG? stupid.

existing is so embarrassing

Leave transgender people the fuck alone jfc

I think sometimes when people struggle to pick battles others give them more battles than they can pick. It’s not fair but I think it’s a thing. (Have no scientific proof of this just anecdotal.)

If you need validation and new systems for dealing with a new disability or chronic illness I have the life experience to understand the basics of what you're going through and wherewithal to know our experiences aren't remotely the same, but some systemic issues will be similar.

Still have people reacting shocked that I do not actively use any AI. I’m sure it’s still coming across my feeds, worming its way into my search results that don’t include an AI generated summary, etc. But I don’t seek it out. I don’t feel like I’m missing out at all? (& I’m disabled as well)

Sometimes I have to remind artists they didn’t go into it for the money because that’d be so delusional I’d have to recommend a therapist. Coaching can’t reach that level. They loved making art at some point & can again.

Or rather, it's poisonous. Which still matters because we WILL eat it out of curiosity.
