Dear Reader,

Last week I was in Nashville for my quarterly meetings with my mentor. I left the CT shore on Tuesday afternoon, beelined for Franklin, TN as usual, and was back by Thursday night. But the version of me that left on Tuesday and the version of me that came back on Thursday were two different versions. That's what I want to talk to you about today.

While I was there, I got deeper into my mentor's way of thinking and approaching things, so that I can maximize my impact while improving my life and the lives of those I work with. The insight, the strategy, the exchange of ideas, and the shared questions and answers evolved me, as it always does.

My mentor has a curriculum that I work while I'm at home. That lays the foundation and gives me solid work and learnings to implement on my own. And then our direct conversations and meetings take me for quantum leaps. I invest oodles of money into the whole thing; because it's not about the money. It's about the outcome.

It's fully up to me to apply it all in real life; just like it's up to all our clients, whether they learn through one of our self-guided programs, meet with us directly, or both, to take what they learn and implement it in their's.

Action is the distance between exposing yourself to ideas and changing your life using them.

The most "successful" clients here at Lauren LaRusso Coaching (and by successful I mean they come in with questions and a goal to solve them, then come out the other side having done that) historically, are the ones who actively work in their real life what we talk about in our sessions. They are the clients who are equally committed to working one of our self-guided programs fully within themselves, then taking it into their direct conversations with Michelle or me solidify their thinking and their path forward.

Then they translate that into the conversations and changes they need to make at home.

Those clients take quantum leaps. They move from stuck to moving. From confused to clear. From uncertain to confident. From anxious to peaceful.

The truth is that we aren't meant to go it alone in this life. Not in the little stuff, and definitely not in the big stuff. When your life is being derailed by infidelity, that's a big stuff experience. There's so much at stake, and there's also so much to be gained by expert guidance and support.

It's the same in business as it is in life. Building what I'm building here at Lauren LaRusso Coaching alone would be a fool's errand. How could I do that in a vacuum? We are only as good as the people we surround ourselves with: their level of thinking, and the vision that's come before us.

To stay small and insular is to ensure that I don't grow, simply because I wouldn't get the help I need.

I'm not here for that, and I hope neither are you.

If you're ready to start, begin with a program you can work on your own; it's exactly what so many of our most successful clients do first. You can find them here:

​Decide between your marriage and affair with confidence​

​End your affair and reclaim your life​

​Heal from betrayal and become even wiser and stronger​

Then, to solidify what the work shows you, schedule individual coaching with me or Michelle. That's where the quantum leaps happen. If you've been waiting, take this as your sign to book a session.​

One client recently wrote:

"I worked your Decision-Making Method for Unfaithful Spouses... and found I had moved from uncertainty around next steps to informed confidence. Then, even though I'd worked with another therapist for the past five months, meeting with you helped me get the clarity, readiness and confidence in the conversation I needed to have with my spouse. I felt an immediate sense of relief, hope for the future, and a certainty I had done the right thing. I can't thank you enough."

We aren't meant to struggle alone. Some of us learned early that somehow, we were. I want to tell you right now that you are not. You need people. I need people. Our ability to change each other's lives for the better lies the power of connection, and of the transfer of thoughts, feedback, and experience.

I hope you have a wonderful week, and that you consider that your best life is waiting for you. It's just a matter of whether you believe it wants you as much as you want it.

Love,

Lauren
