Schedule a play date. It is so important to make room for vulnerability in relationships.⁠ ⁠ One of the easiest way to start building this relational capacity is to play. If you don’t know where to start, think about the things you liked to do as a kid. We had play dates. We went roller skating. We had nerf battles. We played in a sprinkler. These are things you can still do.⁠ ⁠ Make room in all your relationships for an element of fun and the serious things won’t be so hard.⁠ ⁠ #PlayDateFun #Relationships #ChildhoodJoys #BuildingConnections

Cognitive Biases and Decision-Making in Figure Skating Quick decisions are critical in figure skating—but sometimes our minds play tricks on us. Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts that can cloud our judgment, leading to hasty and flawed decisions. For instance, a coach may believe a skater's triple Axel is flawless based on past success, missing current issues—this is confirmation bias in action. To break free of these traps, slow down and gather objective data. Video analysis can uncover hidden issues, like a slight imbalance on takeoff, that are easily missed in real time. By combining fast decision-making with careful review, skaters and coaches can improve more effectively and prevent long-term mistakes. In figure skating, precision matters. Don’t rush—trust the facts and use an objective approach to perfect every performance!

Have you ever had that day that things were just not right? Off. You weren't thinking clearly. You were tripping up on things (maybe even physically running into things). Or a moment that just didn't go your way? That's life. That's how we learn. My daughter had a figure skating competition and things were off. When she was on the ice I was trying to see if it was her skates weren't tied tight enough or something was wrong. She skated not her best at all. She got last place. You can take these moments and mope and not learn from them. Or you can take them and learn. When we make mistakes that is how we learn the most. So what have you learned from those tough moments? Those mistakes? Keep going. Make mistakes. Learn. You got this. #mistakes #learn #yougotthis #speaker

"Mom, how are you so awake? You are so annoying." That's what my daughter said to me one morning at 5 AM. I get up at 4:15 to do my journaling, somatic exercises, get ready and my daughter breakfast and out the door at 5:25am for ice skating. I was up early when I was young to skate before school as well. Figure skating taught me goal setting. Motivation. Focus. Discipline and how to get up early and go. I don't drink coffee. I know my "why". I live my life with passion and authenticity. Two of my favorite words. That is how I can be up early and wide awake. Figure out your why. Find your passion. If you need some help message me. You got this! #passion #why #speaker #wealthadvisor
