What if love wasn’t a side note in our work… but the center of it?

In this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, Andrea Nunes Jones and I step into a rich, reflective conversation about love, devotion, and the creative energy that lives at the heart of coaching—and life. We explore what becomes possible when we slow down, stay present, and allow connection to lead.

Together, we talk about the power of words to affirm and awaken, the role of devotion in meaningful work, and how coaching becomes a co-creative dance when we truly lean in. We explore the emotional landscape of growth—how noticing feelings, rather than rushing past them, creates fertile ground for insight and transformation.

This conversation is an invitation to reflect on leadership as relationship, creativity as collaboration, and love as an active, living practice. It’s a reminder that when we bring presence, curiosity, and devotion into our work, something miraculous unfolds—again and again.

What if coaching invited a little more movement… and a lot more YES?

In this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, Sue Hawkes and I explore the surprising and powerful ways music, dance, and movement can shift energy, deepen connection, and open new pathways in coaching. We talk about what happens when we let ourselves move—physically and metaphorically—and how saying yes to unexpected experiences can lead to meaningful growth.

Through stories, laughter, and reflection, we dive into the importance of authenticity, deep listening, and presence with our clients. We explore how movement can soften a room, how music can unlock emotion, and why creating safety allows vulnerability and truth to emerge.

Our conversation weaves toward what’s next—an upcoming book, new adventures, and the magic that unfolds when we stay open to possibility. This episode is an invitation to loosen your grip, trust your body, and remember that sometimes the most powerful coaching move… is simply saying yes.
