Al-Anon – Where You Can Find Help

Anyone troubled by someone else’s drinking is welcome to attend an Al-Anon meeting. Sometimes the problem drinker is a spouse or partner.

By discovering choices and unraveling the effects of someone else’s drinking we now have an opportunity to heal and grow.

Live Your BEST Lung Life!

Inhale. Exhale. This holiday season here are three things to talk to your health provider about to keep you breathing easier. 1) Don’t ignore the snore. If you snore and are tired during the day, you may have sleep apnea, a disease where you stop breathing in your sleep that requires treatment. Ask about a sleep apnea test. 2) Keep up to date on your vaccinations. Prevent influenza, pneumonia, COVID and RSV. 3) Don’t ignore a cough, wheeze, shortness of breath or chest tightness. Ask about a spirometry test. Learn more at www.LungSask.ca.

ADHD and Time Blindness

Time management is an executive function and one of the skills that many people with ADHD find very challenging. People who struggle with this are often referred to as “time blind” as they are unable to correctly sense the passage of time. Are you chronically late for things or does everything seem to take much longer than you expect it should? Building time awareness can be done through ADHD Coaching. Through a variety of methods, we can strengthen your ability to track and manage your time. If you’re struggling, contact me today for a consultation.

New to Coaching?

Coaching is not advice, therapy, or counselling. Coaching, just as in athletics, is about teamwork. You will express a desire about something you would like to change in your life and together with your coach, you will figure out different practices to address this. The Enneagram Personality Type System is one tool that can be used to explore and connect, whether individually or with others. The idea is to respond from what you know to be true in the moment, without reliving the past or worrying about the future. To catch old behaviour patterns and create new ways of responding.
