Hey Reader, What are you listening to these days? Podcasts, music, the news, books, meditations? Single speed or sped up? And more importantly… how’s all of that noise making you feel? Energized? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Calm? Most of us hit play without pausing to think: Will listening to this help fuel me forward or be an energetic drag as I start my week? As you kick off your week - consider pausing before you hit play on your usual routine. And choose a soundtrack that aligns with how you...

Hey Reader, A couple weeks ago, I wrote about my struggle with being a slightly messy human my whole life, and I shared the full story here: I found a gap in my own coaching. Many of you wrote back saying you want to solve this too. Today, I’ll give you a quick inside look at the mindset that has driven me over the past few weeks and has led my home to stay tidier than it’s ever been. You can do this too! Yes, I’ve been implementing strategies you’ve probably heard of before, like the...

Hey Reader, In 1967, a woman laced up her shoes, put on her lipstick, and decided she didn't need anyone's permission. Neither do you. Kathrine Switzer (and all other women) had been told she couldn't run the Boston Marathon. Among the reasons? We were considered too fragile to run that far. 🙄 Kathrine knew that was bull. So she registered under K.V. Switzer, laced up her shoes, and gave herself permission to run the Boston Marathon. Today, thousands of women follow in her footsteps. Whether...

A quick note before we talk pups... You’re getting this email as part of the Missy Frisch Coaching list. If you’d rather only hear about Unofficial Connection Hub events, like the April 16th happy hour, you can update your preferences using the link at the bottom of this email. Hey Reader, Seeing Tot at the vet recently got me thinking about one of my favorite concepts: What you focus on grows. The vet might actually be his favorite place.

Asheville Half Marathon! Hey Reader, Chances are pretty good you're going to have something to do this week that feels hard. Maybe it's a conversation, a workout, or something new you're learning. Here is what I want to offer you as you get ready for it. Hard can just be part of it. I ran a half marathon this weekend here in Asheville and really enjoyed watching my mind during the race. That little voice kept pointing out the challenging parts. It kept trying to convince me to slow down, to...

Buds at The Arboretum in AVL Hey Reader, Change is a sneaky thing, isn't it? A week ago it was stick city around here in North Carolina. Bare trees everywhere. Now there are buds! Within one week... white buds, purple buds, and yellow buds! Every spring I'm mesmerized at how fast nature transforms. One week it looks like nothing is happening and the next week there are signs of life and color everywhere. But of course the trees did not start changing this week. They have been shifting all...

Gram, me, Mom, and Karen in 2006 Hey Reader, Do you ever stand in the kitchen and cut “just a sliver” of something sweet… and then go back for another? That’s me every February with a pan of rice Krispie treats. They were the last thing my mom made for me before she passed away. Pink and red Hershey Kisses included. Wrapped in plastic wrap. Tied with a red ribbon. Eighteen years later, I still make them. Not because I crave dessert.But because I crave the ritual. In my new blog post, I’m...
