A private space for our session summaries, reflections, and next steps — so the insights stay with you long after we meet.
Welcome to Our Shared Space
Hi, I'm Heather. After each coaching session, I'll post a summary here — the key themes we explored, the breakthroughs you uncovered, the practices to carry forward, and the gentle homework I've invited you to consider. Bookmark this page and return to it whenever you need a reminder of how far you've come.

Session 3
Values and Next Steps
Main Points Discussed
We checked in on your "month of Jane" progress, which has been going really well across home, health, and self-discovery. We also spent time on Atticus's knee situation, your upcoming Iceland/Norway/Sweden trip, your interest in water therapy/rehab work, and a deeper look at your core values.
Key Insights & Discoveries
• You've made huge progress this month — painting, decluttering, organizing the garage, losing a few pounds, sleeping better, and getting the bike road-ready after three years. You're feeling stronger and "ready to launch" into the next phase.
• On Atticus: since the first surgeon's assessment was based only on a physical exam and videos (no X-rays), it makes sense to get a second — possibly third — opinion before deciding on surgery.
• Your church search is narrowing in nicely — you've identified that you're drawn to services that are energetic, spontaneous, and not overly structured, which the third church (visiting this Sunday) may fit well.
• The water therapy/rehab interest is clearly meaningful — it connects your college experience as a water aerobics instructor, your time caring for your mom, and your strengths as a trainer/motivator. A volunteer or assistant role (rather than full certification) at 10–15 hours/week sounds like the right entry point.
• Your core values — integrity, authenticity, kindness, honesty — each trace back to specific people and experiences in your life, which gives a strong foundation as you think about this next chapter. We also named an emerging value: excitement/enthusiasm/being driven, especially as you look to reconnect with the energy you felt training new hires.
Next Steps
• Seek a second (and possibly third) veterinary opinion on Atticus's knee surgery.
• Start planning the Iceland/Norway/Sweden trip — accommodations first, then flights, targeting a mid-September departure.
• Ask Lin about any connections in water therapy/rehab.
• Research volunteer opportunities at Craig Hospital and FYZICAL clinics; aim to begin outreach in early August.
• Stop by the community pool to ask about local aquatic rehab programs.
Resources
Here is a link to the values tool for you to complete before our next session: https://thewellnesssociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Values-Worksheets.pdf
I'm also looking into a possible contact at Craig Hospital, and will look into consolidating session notes and values work inside the AttractWell app.

Session 2
The Month of Jane
Main Points Discussed
• Emotional progress since last session — less rumination, better sleep, and renewed clarity after your trip with Valerie
• Decision not to reach out to Mark, and responding to his text with a simple sun emoji
• The "Month of Jane" — dedicating June entirely to self-care, health, and personal priorities
• Home painting and organization projects with Dasha, and thoughts on eventual downsizing
• Sleep challenges and current strategies that are helping
• Finding a new church community that fits your needs and allows you to explore spirituality on your own terms
• Letting-go ritual — burning Mark's letters, notes, and trinkets in the fire pit
Key Insights & Discoveries
• Freedom is your central theme right now — freedom to make decisions, focus on yourself, and move forward without compromise
• Physical organization and decluttering are directly tied to your inner clarity and peace of mind. Keep connecting your choices to what's important about those choices for you. That's the process of alignment.
• Radical acceptance is working — you've shifted from unproductive ruminating to better uses of your energy
• Reframing "have to" as "choose to" (with housing and other transitions) helps preserve your sense of agency
• When well-rested, you feel clear, organized, and capable — rest is the foundation for everything else
Next Steps
• Embrace the "Month of Jane" — develop your plan for June focused on exercise, cleaner eating, and self-care. Keep rest as a top priority.
• Paint the office and main part of the house with Dasha starting next week
• Clean out cabinets in preparation for the painting projects
• Visit potential new churches with your "idea" community in mind, but consider what are the minimum and acceptable versions
• Continue working through the Meant for More vault resources
• Schedule our next session for June 18th or later
Also check out Gretchen Rubin's book: Outer Order, Inner Calm
You are stepping into this next chapter with such clarity and openness — I'm excited for you!
