    Ep 40. Your Mentor Is Human. Now What? (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    This week's Mixer gets into the complicated moment when a mentor, teacher, or coach you admire turns out to be unmistakably human. What happens when disappointment shows up, a teacher's choices no longer make sense to you, or the advice that once helped starts asking you to ignore your own experience? Erin and Elana explore how coaches can keep learning without swallowing an entire worldview, how to recognize the difference between expertise and projection, and what a mentor's community may reve

    Ever notice how easy it is to keep refining the plan when the next step feels uncomfortable? For coaches and business owners, preparation can look responsible while actually just being the fear of trying something new. This conversation explores the difference between a plan that helps you move and one that keeps you busy and waiting to feel ready.

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Erin and Elana are back with cherries in their glasses and a conversation for anyone who is excellent at keeping going… sometimes a little too excellent. Erin is sipping a cherry gin and tonic, while Elana has whiskey with muddled cherries, seltzer, lime, and maple syrup. If you have ever replayed a mistake, rushed to fix your feelings, or waved off help because someone else probably needs it more, this episode offers a kinder and more practical way forward. You will hear how to learn from what

    Read excerpt

    Erin and Elana are back with cherries in their glasses and support for Coaches. Erin is sipping a cherry gin and tonic made with frozen cherries, lime, and tonic water, while Elana has whiskey, muddled fresh cherries with seltzer, lime juice, and a little maple syrup. They dive into something every coach, leader, and sensitive human eventually has to face: what happens when feedback, conflict, or disappointment brings up a very real reaction? Elana and Erin explore how to stay warm and direct, w
