Hey Soothers! In today's podcast, I explain a metaphor I've been using a lot in my 1:1 coaching lately: That of the rock, and the river. In this metaphor, the rock is the person tossed around by the river, at the mercy of the river, without much agency or control in how it gets swept along. The river, on the other hand, is the life force that moves as it will. When we're in passive mode, not setting boundaries, giving away our power to others, we can think of that like being the rock. But when we're the river, we shift into a force of energy that is powerful. So tune in to hear about how you can become more like the river in your own life.
