Listen, I’m a life coach. So much of what I’m trained to do is help people set and achieve their goals. But this season? This is weird.

As soon as this virus started spreading, I took a big step back. So much of my market became immediately saturated with coaches who wanted to rush in and tell you how to use this time to your advantage, how to hustle hard from home, how to monetize your hobbies as we all suddenly got told to stay home.

I get that, perspective, I do. And I get that the LARGE majority of coaches are self-employed and also trying to find financial security in the midst of a crisis.

But this message of “if you don’t use this time to do [BLANK] then you are undisciplined/unmotivated/uninspired/etc.” — that’s not a message I want to preach.

We are in an unprecedented time. This global health pandemic is a very traumatic experience for so many people. Maybe you have more time at home, but that doesn’t mean you HAVE to be productive, HAVE to get your side hustle going, HAVE to take up a new hobby, HAVE to learn a new skill, HAVE to do anything.

Stay healthy, friends. If for you, that means you need to rest, rest. If it means you need something new to do, do it. If a new hobby helps you cope, by all means, get on it! But there should be no pressure to produce more because we are undergoing a global crisis.

Just stay healthy. Whatever that means for you.

And if I can help you, I’m here.

This pandemic is affecting the mental health of MANY of us, whether or not any previous mental health issues existed. I get that. I can empathize with that. I specialize in that. So if I can help you, I’m here. PLEASE reach out.

And if you WANT to grow your business or hustle hard or set new goals or revisit you vision or take this time to reset and reevaluate your whole life, I can help you with that, too!

But do not be pressured by any societal messages that are guilting you into that path. Just staying healthy is enough.
