Self-sabotage is often a misnomer for avoidance of uncomfortable topics, don't you think? Nicoa argues that many people claim to self-sabotage as a rationalization for not addressing important issues, such as financial management or personal health. Of course she speaks from experience and emphasizes that avoidance is common and usually rooted in past experiences yet to be understood. Ready to identify what you are avoiding? Understand why? Take proactive steps towards your goals? Journaling and setting specific actions to overcome these avoidances will be KEY to a LIFE BY DESIGN.

Nicoa has the pure delight of interviewing the daughter of our very first Coffee With Nicoa guest Caroline Keeler S1 Ep2 - the delightful Devon Keeler! They discuss Devon's life by design, including her upbringing in Michigan and the US Virgin Islands, her career shift from biology to clinical research and her all around personal growth journey. Devon emphasizes the importance of balancing intuition and logic, especially after her aunt's passing, which influenced her career choice in oncology. She reflects on the significance of self-worth, finding joy, and the value of being open to new experiences. This conversation captures the importance of aligning actions with personal values and the power of self-reflection in shaping one's authentic LIFE BY DESIGN!

PEACE over PAIN? Well, coaching helps! How? As a complement or alternative to therapy, emphasizing its future-focused approach. Using the analogy of a snake bite, Nicoa highlights the importance of healing rather than obsessing over the cause of pain. Nicoa encourages self-coaching practices, such as journaling, YOU CAN DO THIS YOURSELF! Creating a LIFE BY DESIGN you have to identify and release past grudges, embrace YOUR joy, love, and satisfaction. There's power in rationalizing past events to move forward positively, promoting forgiveness for personal well-being and to create A LIFE BY DESIGN YOU WILL LOVE!
