ALL-IN Experience with Connecting the Dots Group Coaching

I like that there is some time in the zoom meeting given for us to ask specific questions if we’re struggling with something specific. Not only helps the individual, but strengthens community. And I appreciate how you managed the hour by suggesting we post on the private facebook page. I appreciate the resources you recommend…ie: the Strengths Finder is SO VALUABLE! Sharing what’s been useful for you…the feelings wheel and the wheel of life.

Once a week group coaching sessions are priceless in my opinion. I am learning and benefiting so much more than I ever expected! Today's group coaching session couldn’t have gone any better! It’s amazing to hear the shares from everyone. You ask the perfect questions, so we all learn from that and I can't wait for the next one! I feel cared for and supported and like I can do anything I set my mind to! Thank you!

Before joining the Connecting the Dots Group Coaching, I was feeling stuck. Since my time in the Joy in the Journey All-IN membership I've experienced huge mindset shifts, much more body confidence and contentment, understanding and recognizing all my values, especially my core values. The ability to set clear, specific short term (small) goals to help me reach my long-term goals, in a way that is so livable I know I can continue for the rest of my life. The ability to have self-compassion, not condemnation, to recognize that I am human so that I don't get bent down with guilt, but just live and learn (or trial and learn). I love the close friendships we develop as we share our lives together. No matter what, we lift each other up and hold each other's hurts safely in our own hearts. There is such a practical focus on many aspects of my life that I've neither recognized nor understood before. Joy and a sense of sisterhood with common purpose. Terra's thoughtful questions, guidance and support as she helps us think thru and process our life's experiences, and her obvious caring for each individual has given us all a safe space to just "be" without needing to hide or protect our real selves. This is best thing you never knew you needed! Words cannot explain, please join us!

I was so stuck in diet mentality. I was either dieting or binging. I saw every celebration or vacation as a reason to go crazy with food. With the tools Terra gave me and the support of my new friends, I have changed my mindset and then everything else just followed. I’m eating healthy while still allowing indulgences but not over indulgences. I’m tracking my food in all situations even though some of it is messy tracking. I love listening to the Weekly Spotlight videos Terra presents twice a week. She is amazing. In the group coaching sessions, Terra digs deep and gives everyone the attention they need. She truly cares about all of us and our wellness journeys. She is always positive and smiling. I would tell anyone even considering joining Connecting the Dots Group coaching to try it. You’ll like it! Give it a month to feel comfortable and to feel yourself changing from within in a positive way.

Before becoming a part of Bookends I was stuck in a pattern of making a little progress M-F and then giving it up Saturday and Sunday. So every Monday felt like I was “starting over.” I love that Terra’s videos begin with a relevant quote, are explained in digestible bites, and followed up with thought-provoking questions. The Monday’s Goal Getters and Friday’s Follow-Up questions have been instrumental in me connecting the dots. For me the videos provide the education, the questions provide the applications. I appreciate the colorful, fun format and the key summary points to follow the video. Working with Terra has given me an awareness of what’s important to me and how I want to live my life. I have greater understanding and clarity of my values. I’m more confident in my ability to take care of myself. I’ve always wanted to go on a missions trip overseas and this April I’m going to Ethiopia! Terra has taught me useful tips for time management, so many food hacks, creative ways to reward myself, and so many valuable podcasts, books, and other resources. I feel like every day is a puzzle for me to solve: how to prioritize what’s most important to me on any given day and how can I reward myself. I’ve had to learn it’s not selfish to take care of myself. I didn’t know all that I didn’t know until I discovered Terra. There are so many different ways we can elevate our health and wellness. Lean into her holistic approach and save yourself time by piggybacking from her experiences. I promise you what she discusses will be relevant to you. She listens well and asks the right questions that will challenge your old beliefs and behaviors. And most importantly you’ll learn that you don’t have to wait to experience good feelings (joy, peace, worthiness, competence, etc.) You don’t have to wait until you reach your goal, you can feel them not only today, but throughout all your journey. It’s fun!
