Podcast: Discovering What Holds You Back

I recently joined co-hosts Ayka and Tealeda on the Swurl Podcast, where our conversation took an unexpected and beautiful turn.

We began with my path from design and ceramics into coaching—but then the hosts suggested we do a live coaching demo. What unfolded was remarkable: as I asked questions, Tealeda’s story revealed itself in layers, and a long-buried dream came back into focus.

We talked about what stalls a dream, the limiting beliefs that can hold us back, and how curiosity and presence can clear the way for new possibilities. I share how coaching, much like ceramics, is about process over perfection—listening, attuning, and trusting what emerges.

If you’ve ever felt like a dream of yours was stuck or forgotten, this conversation might spark something new for you.

Our Conversation Takeaways:

Questions to help you get unstuck: When dreams stall, it’s rarely because they’ve disappeared. More often, they’re waiting for us to pause, look under the hood, and clear the blockages in the way. These questions can help you notice what’s stuck and take small, intentional steps forward:

  1. What dream of mine feels stalled right now?

  2. What beliefs or fears are keeping me from moving toward it?

  3. What small action could I take this week to bring it back into motion?

  4. How might my different passions support each other, rather than compete?
