Re-defining my coaching business, creating a new website, writing a book, running my Mind-Body Coach Training, and being the Life Coach Training Coordinator for Martha Beck, Inc is kind of a lot. In fact, as I write that list, I realize I haven’t actually considered how much is going on in my work life. I… Continue reading Ode to Turtle Steps

Stressed to the Limit?
This morning, I stumbled into my kitchen to cook breakfast, only to remember that there’s nothing in the kitchen. All the cooking utensils, plates, and bowls are scattered throughout my living room right now, and none of the cupboards have doors. The walls are half-painted and the counters are covered in sawdust. I currently can’t… Continue reading Stressed to the Limit?
What’s Your Big Dream?
I woke up on New Year’s day and immediately thought, “This is the year of big dreams.” The thought came out of the blue and had a soul feel to it. I can feel the truth and energy behind it – BIG dreams. I count myself lucky to be in the business of helping people… Continue reading What’s Your Big Dream?
Tossing the New Year’s Resolutions
We’re coming to the close of another year and heading into that familiar tradition of taking stock and making New Year’s resolutions. I, for one, will not be partaking of this tradition. As you’ve noticed, I’ve been writing about self-kindness recently, and not applying force or pressure to create change in one’s life. My main… Continue reading Tossing the New Year’s Resolutions
Practice Being Kind – To You
Last week, I wrote about taking the first steps toward self-kindness. It can definitely be a learning curve to practice self-kindness, so this week I’d like to talk about step two: actively creating self-kindness in your mind. Once you start recognizing when you are beating yourself up or judging yourself, you have opened the window… Continue reading Practice Being Kind – To You
Learn to Be Kind – To You
When I first realized I was putting immense and constant pressure on myself, and that the pressure was causing my body to revolt, it was like putting on glasses for the first time. I could see clearly how much I was beating myself up, trying to be perfect, judging myself, and otherwise rejecting who I… Continue reading Learn to Be Kind – To You
Want to Heal? Be a Hot Mess.
Right now, I have a group of coaches taking my Mind-Body Coach Training. They’ve been thrown into what I call The Mess as they experience the first part of the training. This just means that they are learning how to feel emotions, what to do with body tension and pain, and discovering that their minds… Continue reading Want to Heal? Be a Hot Mess.
The Full-Tilt
Several weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about the In-Between. I was feeling strange because everywhere I looked, my life seemed to be in transition. It felt like that moment between an inhale and exhale, when everything is suspended, and nothing is happening. It seemed to be lasting forever to my “go, go, go”… Continue reading The Full-Tilt
Claim My Space
This post is a guest post by Healthy Life Endorsed Coach Gail Kenny. She can be reached for coaching and consults at gail@abigailsteidley.com. “Claim my space,” is what my soul wisdom recently told me when I checked in. So much of my life has been spent putting aside who I really am to make space… Continue reading Claim My Space
Putting Mind-Body Healing to the Test
I think this blog post might be an ode to the mind-body healing process. I’ve been reflecting lately on how incredibly grateful I am to have learned what I’ve learned about my body, my emotions, and my inner wisdom. Ten years ago, I was in agony, suffering through each day, unable to live normally and… Continue reading Putting Mind-Body Healing to the Test
