Greetings!

Happy Summer!  It is the time of year when we start slowing down, taking vacations and enjoying the warm weather. I know for me, my children recently had their closing ceremony for Middle School, and during lunch that day we were discussing summer plans.  I asked them what they want to do with their time off, and was basically giving them permission to rest, play with their friends, take up a new hobby, rides bikes in the neighborhood (I expanded their approved travel areas), travel to see family and ENJOY their unstructured free time! They love the idea of having more freedom and choice about what life looks this for the next couple of month.

How often do we as adults wish we still have a summer break? A time to take a long vacation or just allow for ease, less planning and rejuvenation.  My column in this month's Underwired Magazine speaks to creating the time and space to create life's much needed breaks, and I encourage you to do so.

As many of you know from either our work together, hearing my speeches or reading my columns and newsletters that I often focus on what you really want to do. I LOVE to give FULL permission to step into what will bring you the most fulfillment and joy. For me it is expanding my work and services, traveling to Montana, the beach (maybe France in the Fall), and having playmates to have fun with this summer. I also relish my quiet time to read, write, do yoga and rejuvenate. 

So, I want to link you to my newly designed "Permission Slip" for your use.  I would love to hear what you are giving yourself permission to do this summer and beyond. Drop me an email at info@excavive.com so I can begin collecting permission data.

And if you need some full-on, permissive, fierce coaching sessions, I have opened up some new spots on my calendar for both old and new clients.

Have a fun, Permissive and best Summer ever. I look forward to how I can be of service to you!

Excavive Client Success

I contacted Jennifer after searching for a change in career on my own for over 10 years, with no success.  I felt worthless as an employee and at a loss for where to turn next.  After my initial session with Jennifer I was able to acknowledge to myself that there were many changes, both personally and professionally that I needed to work on in order to move forward.  She helped to create an excitement in me that had been lost for years.  Jennifer's gentle and uplifting personality helped me to make self empowered choices toward a career change.  She has the gift of being able to help you find your strengths and values and then, the assertion to help you follow through with your goals for ultimate personal success.  Both my personal life and my business life have improved 100%.
