Episode 153 Moving at the Speed of Trust
Come see us at CMHCoaching.comHere are the show notes- let us know what you think!
Beth's toad story: A toad struggling to climb over a garden board demonstrated trust—determined, not frantic, moving steadily toward safety despite difficulty
Trust requires doing: Jaycine views trust as active commitment (e.g., "I'm going to jump off that ledge when you tell me to jump"), contrasting with Beth's initial perception of trust as passive Marathon training example: Jaycine's knee injury during marathon training required trusting her Creator to "find a way" while continuing active effort, not just waiting
Physical Metaphors for Spiritual GrowthSmall foundational muscles: Physical therapy builds tiny, unseen muscles that are critical for movement—paralleling how small spiritual practices build foundational strength over time
Weight loss journey: Jaycine's 30-pound weight gain despite healthy habits taught her to trust the slow process; Creator's guidance was "stay the course" rather than quick fixes like GLP-1s.
Neural pathways:
Repeated practices (like rehearse and remember) strengthen brain pathways, making recognition and response easier over time—similar to how coyotes create clear paths through daily use [Citation]
Patience and Faith Connection
Patience comes from faith: Living patiently requires trusting the process; faith in outcomes (whether in doctors, life working out, or divine support) enables moving at trust's speed rather than forcing fast-forward
Louise's healing mantra: "I know that every hand that touches me is a healing hand" increased patience, trust, and healing outcomes
Power of Stillness BookJaycine's initial resistance: Listening to The Power of Stillness audiobook, Jaycine needed to speed it up to double-time because the slow, calm pace frustrated her—until realizing "it's called the power of stillness"
CMH Coaching foundation: The book is essential for creator-based coach training; Beth's friend rediscovered it while grieving, prompting the podcast topicCompassion, mindfulness, hope:
These three pillars allow people to notice blessings, live in hope and light, and create ripple effects even without speaking
Language and Self-Talk
"New and different" vs. "getting old": Jaycine and her husband shifted from saying "oh, we're just so old" when feeling new pains to saying "oh, that's new and different," creating curiosity and empowerment instead of victim mentality
Empowering truth: The reframing feels settling and empowering because it aligns with truth—you're never "so old" that life stops; even at 100, you still have life to live
Coach n Clear progress: One participant shared that things that used to bother her deeply no longer do, thanks to weekly coaching practice building those "small foundational muscles"
