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?

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
