Spring is in full bloom all around us and in us. It’s one of my favorite times of the year! I love getting my hands back in the garden, pruning plants and planting new ones.
Have you noticed that plants that look dead are actually dormant and simply need nurturing and a supportive environment to give them new life?
I have a huge grapevine in my backyard that required pruning this spring. As I pruned back the branches, it was often challenging for me to figure out which branches carried life and which ones were dead.
I watched some YouTube videos and researched grape vine pruning to gain knowledge and learn helpful techniques. It surprised me to learn how extensively I needed to prune back the vine’s branches. However, I’ve also learned to rely on the experts and take their advice since they have the knowledge and expertise I need.
This week, the grape vine sprung to life with massive new growth and beautiful little buds breaking out to greet me. The experts were spot on – deep pruning gave the vine new life. In the process, I became a better gardener.
Spring is also the time for us to do our inner deep pruning:
- What in your life has passed its usefulness?
- Do you have some bad habits to eliminate?
- Do you desire some new habits to cultivate?
- What new skills do you need to develop?
- How could you better use your time and eliminate time wasters?
- Are there people in your life that have served their season and it’s time to move on?
- Are there relationships that you want to cultivate or deepen?
- Do you need to freshen up your space to make it more inviting and engaging?
- How’s the fitness and nutrition routine working for you?
- Importantly, do you have the support you need to prune your life for fresh, new growth?
I have a couple of resources to help you with your pruning.

Second, if you are ready for a fresh start or want to hit the reset button and need some help with your inner pruning, I have just the tool for you – my Life Palette Assessment.
This is my signature Life Assessment tool that I use with all of my coaching clients. It’s a deep dive into your existing life and an exploration of what you truly desire coupled with the guidance to set a new course.
The Life Palette Assessment kicks off with an in depth questionnaire, followed by a 90 minute consultation with me to:
- Analyze your life and vision
- Gain clarity around life direction and desire
- Begin the vision of what’s possible
- Identify the gaps that have kept you from achieving it
- Discover the 3 habits you need to bring your vision to life
- Receive resources & recommendations
