Dear Ones, There is a simple coaching tool offered to clients, as designed and taught by CTI (the program I attended), called The Wheel of Life. You may have walked through this process with me, depending on our dynamic! In the exercise, we take an assessment of satisfaction, ranking 1-10, in eight significant areas of overall life. It’s a snapshot to help us dive deeper into the balance of wholeness, and a reliable way to get some conversation flowing. One piece of the wheel I’ve been thinking about more lately is Physical Environment. This can be explored on a larger, take the leap, kind of scale through examining the cities, communities, states, even countries we live in. And it can also be narrowed in on, focusing on the physical structures we eat, sleep, work, dwell most often within. Asking: How does this place or space reflect how I wish to feel on the inside? How does it inspire me, or help me live in greater alignment with my values? What feels missing? What feels really good? As someone who has chosen to adhere to a mainly home-based life in the past year (per health guidelines I trust most), I don’t think I have ever let myself envision what our house energy could be with some serious design thought to this extent before. Plus, ya know, pregnancy and nesting are VERY real vibes. This morning I turned to my husband and said something along the lines of OK, that’s it, no more slow growing into this space. I need changes, refreshes, new organizing. We are stagnant. I believe this can help. (And I need them before baby #2 arrives so LET'S GO BIG DADDY!).. .We made a list together of the heavy lifting he’ll need to do, borrowing pieces from one room to loan to another. I took some furniture pics for marketplace selling of things that no longer serve or feel in frequency with our vision. I finally ordered a few frames and prints I’ve been dragging my feet on for gosh knows what reason. And I purchased a handful of tools to help me get organized - ultimately, a gift to my mental health from current self to future self. Which pretty perfectly brings me to our next client spotlight segment! I am happy to share with you the mission of SortJoy. CEO Stefani is a delightful young woman I had the pleasure of working with in an official coaching capacity, and whom I also consider a friend. In her own words: "SortJoy makes eco-friendly home organization tools designed to simplify and elevate your space. We are dedicated to doing no harm to the environment and making products that you can feel good about bringing into your home. I personally have 3 bins being shipped to me for baby #2's nursery & the living room toddler play area. I really love this idea of using beautiful, simple, eco-friendly pieces to help me wrap my head around staying organized in the chaos of motherhood. I also love the versatility (for use in other rooms as our needs change) and nod to conscious consumerism - which has been a desired family value for awhile now. Congratulations on your new venture, Stefani! Learn more about SortJoy's mission on Instagram, via their website, or by contacting Stef directly. In Gratitude, Trish Quick tips to supporting small businesses like SortJoy and TGL Coaching:
