Amanda coached on the following:

1. (02:12) – I have a few decisions to make regarding my teenage son – moving schools this coming school year and not pursuing travel ball after I verbally told the coach he would play. There are multiple reasons why it just isn’t a good decision. But I am afraid to stand up to the coach and tell him no, and I am second guessing my decisions and it is weighing on my mind. It is very hard for me to say no, I do not want to disappoint or make people upset with me. I know this is not the way to live life in my 40’s!!!!!
2. (22:13) – There are lots of aspects in life that I’d like to improve, and in many cases I know what needs to be done in order for that to happen, but I resist the effort. I’m wondering why I’m scared of growth. Why am I so lazy?
   I also realized that most accomplishments have been at the hands of someone else. I’ve had dreams but it wasn’t until someone else encouraged me or told me or figuratively held my hand in the process to achieve it. If it’s just me, it doesn’t happen. I don’t feel like I can own my successes. I live a good life right now but it’s because of my husband and HIS work ethic and HIS ambition and HIS knowledge. So I feel like there is some legitimacy behind my resistance.
3. (42:40) – My parents are possibly getting a divorce and my dad talks to me about it and my mom doesn’t. But I realize that it is really wearing on me and I don’t know how to handle it.
4. (52:08) – I’m struggling with the fact that I am now the higher desire partner and it’s really hard.
