August 22, 2023 by Shirley Koritnik

Kermit the Frog in the Muppets gives us a great example of reluctant behavior that Joseph Campbell called “Refusal of the Call” in his masterwork The Hero with a Thousand Faces. “It’s not easy being green!” Kermit laments his fate.

Avoid 3 Mistakes Choosing a Life Coach

January 13, 2023 by Shirley Koritnik

The need to choose a Life Coach isn’t obvious to us right away. When we reach the age of reason/budding consciousness around the age of seven, it dawns on us that we need help for all kinds of things we can’t do for ourselves. We turn naturally to those who have longer arms to reach …

MKE Week 11: My Best Gift Ever Is Intangible!

December 12, 2022 by Shirley Koritnik
