EPISODE #8
with Barb Patterson
About This Episode
What happens in between sessions can quietly shape the entire coaching relationship.
In this episode, Barb reflects on how she listens to what’s unfolding for clients between sessions, and how she listens to herself. From recognizing when capacity is stretched to knowing when to increase support or revisit pacing, this is a candid look at the subtle decisions that deepen trust and impact.
A grounded exploration of integration, intuition, and working from the natural pace and unfolding rather than fear or over-delivery.
