We are so often committed to trying to get people to be someone they aren’t, or to give us something they either don’t want to give us or can’t. This can manifest in our friendships, or at our jobs, and pretty much any aspect of human life that involves relationships. And this is where the concept of Copenhagen and Croissants comes in.
Last Friday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. I wanted to take the opportunity this week to highlight some of the legal rights that we, as women, now have because of her work, and to tie her passing in with the coaching model that I teach in The Society to dive into the concept of hope and commitment.
I’m sure that all of you are familiar with the concept of minimalism and its values – I’ve even tried it myself. I’ve discovered that it’s not for me. If you identify as a minimalist, this is not a problem, but today, I want to discuss some of the pitfalls of taking minimalist principles too far, and why it could be worth experimenting with maximalism instead.
This week, we’re diving into the topic of compromise. It’s something many of my students like to stay in confusion about even though it’s not a hugely complicated topic, so I’m helping you navigate through it today by showing you a better way to think about how to decide when to compromise.
I’ve discussed the subject of body image and my experience of the work I’ve done here on the podcast, but I wanted to take a deeper dive into my own personal story today. There has been a lot of unpacking over the years and it’s work I’ll likely be doing continuously, so I want to share with you what my journey has been like so far.

I always tell my students not to get too caught up about intuition when self-coaching, and I’ll be diving into why this is, and how I think about intuition within the context of thought work and managing your mind.
