How to Solve Your Greatest Problems 🤯


Notes From a Relationship Coach
​(Big ideas in a small email)

“The greatest and most important problems of life are fundamentally unsolvable. They can never be solved but only outgrown.”

–Carl Jung

Like him or not, Carl was a goddamn spiritual gangster. You know how they say talent hits a target no one else can hit and genius hits a target no one else can see? Yeah, that was dude.

Lotta folks out here trynna solve their relationship problem, money problem, alcohol problem, time management problem, career problem.

Reaallly feels like THAT’S the problem… but it ain’t.

The “identified problem” is typically a symptom or even a solution to a much deeper issue nobody wants to eyeball. Arguably, that’s WHY we have all these so-called problems – buncha noise and red herrings that literally help us avoid the terrifying existential crisis beneath the surface.

Who has time for healing? I’m so busy.
Who can afford therapy with all these bills?
I just gotta get this one thing under control.

Hey, as long as your hamster wheel of chronically unsolvable problems is still serving you, I say rock out. Ain’t broke? Don’t fix it.

But when your life becomes an unending game of whack-a-mole you’re not enjoying anymore… as the ticking clock gets louder and each passing day feels like a shallow breath or a missed flight… when the powerless feeling of normalized dissatisfaction and the experience of too little for too long pierce the protective layer of numb…

Then you can bet your sweet ass it’s time for you to GROW.

Yesterday a client texted me, “I would love to have you at our wedding. You have helped me immensely and every single thing in my life is better since I’ve known you.” Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

I can’t make anyone want to grow. But when they’re ready, I’m here for it.

Notes From a Relationship Coach(Big ideas in a small email) “For a long time, I thought that keeping who I am to myself was the same thing as being myself quietly. I discovered it is not.” –Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening I remember walking on my hands through the mall when I was a kid and my brother saying, “Why you gotta be so weird all the time, dude? Just act normal.” I’ve always been pretty good at letting my freak flag flap in the breeze. Even at 41, I still skip in public, make myself...

Notes From a Relationship Coach(Big ideas in a small email) “Here’s a four line history of many relationships: I can’t believe how many things we have in common. Actually, in some ways, we’re very different. We are really SO different…. We were just too different.” –Mira Kirshenbaum, Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay Here’s a little fact about me: I LOVE THE CRAP OUTTA PEOPLE. Specifically, I really enjoy adoring folks – helping them feel seen, validated, appreciated, encouraged, good...

Notes From a Relationship Coach(Big ideas in a small email) “Good relationships get better with work. Bad relationships need constant work just to stay the same. The trick is knowing which kind of relationship you’re working on.” –Mark Manson New love is usually exciting, magical, and delicious... but ideally, your relationship doesn’t start at an all-time-high (and gradually roll downhill). It's unfortunate how relevant we make those early days. Swiping through virtually infinite profiles on...
