Pesach and coaching are a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.

Why?

Pesach addresses the two factors most impactful of our mental health: our belief in ourselves and our belief in our future. If those beliefs are negative, we don't want to get out of bed. We have no energy.

If those beliefs are positive, we've got all the energy in the world.

Belief in ourselves: Hashem took us out of Egypt when we were on the 49th level of tumah. If anyone could think she was underserving, it was the woman slaving away in Egypt barely holding onto a thread of connection. But not only was she taken out of Egypt, Hashem made it happen FASTER. You are loved. You are important. I don't have to know you to tell you that.

Belief in our future: Pesach is the time of freedom. Today that means freedom from our own restrictions. How many of our restrictions are completely internal? Our own fears, insecurities, attachments to how things "should" be...

You can be banging your head against the wall with that one issue you've been trying to get over for AGES...

And on Pesach it's gone. In Nissan it's gone. Because that's just what's in the air right now.

Pesach tells us: You have a future. And you are the future. You matter.

Don't underestimate the importance of telling yourself that as many times a day as you can.

Thanks for being here, super important person with an amazing future. 🙂

Chag kasher v'sameach!! (A happy and kosher Passover!)
