Here's what you may not know about finding a path forward.

You don't have to resolve the tension to move through it.

You just have to identify both goal posts and then take one step toward the middle.

Sometimes that step is a giant one. Other times it is very small. But a step is forward progress no matter the size.

I've watched people do this in therapy rooms, in boardrooms, in living rooms.

The ones who move well through these hard seasons and hard conversations don't necessarily have it all figured out at first. They're just willing to acknowledge both sides, and take a step - not because the tension was gone, but because they finally knew where they were standing.

You can choose to do the same.

What would it look like to take one step forward this week β€” not after the tension resolves, but right in the middle of it?

Yes! Changing how you respond makes all the difference!

Here's something I teach clients that shifts everything.

Before you can find a path forward β€” in a hard season or a hard conversation β€” you need two points of reference. Not just one.

Think of it like goal posts. Without both posts, there is no clear path forward.

That's what happens when we only acknowledge one side of a situation or experience.

If you only name the pain, you lose sight of what you're moving toward. If you only name the hope, you lose contact with what needs to be dealt with. If you only hear your side of a conversation, you can't find common ground.

You need both goal posts to mark the space you're actually navigating, to show you where you are, and where you can find a middle path.

This is called a dialectic. Two things that feel like opposites can be true at the same time.

The tension isn't an obstacle but rather a map.

πŸ’­What's one goal post you haven't named yet?

There's something you may not have been told before about hard seasons.

You don't have to choose just one feeling.

You can be genuinely hopeful π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ genuinely worn out. You can believe things are moving forward π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ feel the weight of how far there is still to go. You can be grateful π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ grieve at the same time.

Two things can be opposite and true at the same time. They aren't in contradiction with one another, but rather paint the full picture.

The problem is most of us were taught somewhere along the way to pick a side. Stay positive. Push through. Don't dwell. And so we suppress one half of what's true, and then wonder why we feel stuck or disconnected or like we're performing instead of actually living it.

What I've learned β€” clinically and personally β€” is that the tension doesn't have to be resolved to find a way forward. But it does have to be acknowledged. Both sides of it.

Because if you only name the hard, you lose sight of what you're moving toward. And if you only name the hopeful, you're not being honest about the challenges the journey includes.

πŸ’­Where in your life are you holding two things at once right now?

Some of us have been carrying bricks we were never meant to keep.

Old wounds. Outdated beliefs. Stories we've told ourselves so many times we stopped questioning whether they're even true.

And yet, we carry them anyway. Some were handed to us. Some we picked up trying to protect ourselves. Some we've just never put down because no one told us we could.

But here's the thing: you are the architect of what comes next.

You don't have to tear it all down. Sometimes it's just about replacing one brick at a time β€” shoring up the foundation so what you're building can actually hold.

πŸ’¬ Which brick has felt the hardest to set down β€” and what would change if you did?

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness month and this post really sums it all up.

Real strength isn't staying silent or pretending, but rather being honest about how you're feeling. πŸ’¬

Not a to do list. Not a productivity plan. Just an honest check in with yourself.

That kind of self-awareness is where growth begins.

What's one thing you're carrying into this week with intention?

You can have all the strategy in the world ...

But if you can't connect with the people around you, the strategy won't matter.

Great leadership starts with great relationships. And great relationships start with π‘¦π‘œπ‘’.

What's one relationship in your life you want to invest more in?

This image came up in my memories recently and it made me smile. 😊

I saved it a few years ago, long before I ever chose the name for my practice. And yet, here it is: π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘ π‘–π‘›π‘” 𝑒𝑝 π‘Žπ‘“π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦ π‘“π‘Žπ‘™π‘™. Right there in the definition of resilient.

That's not a coincidence. That's confirmation that the name was right, as I've seen clients rising up and have done the same in my own life too.

In 20+ years of doing this work, the resiliency of the human spirit has never stopped amazing me. People carry so much, and yet they keep choosing to get back up.

That's what Rising Up Therapy and Coaching is built on. The belief that no matter what you've been through, rising is still possible.

What has resilience looked like in your life lately? I'd love to hear. πŸ’›

Big news from Rising Up Therapy. πŸŽ‰

I'm proud to share that I've just earned Master Facilitator status in the Beyond Success program through Maxwell Leadership.

Beyond Success equips people to move from success to significance, leading in ways that genuinely transform their lives. That aligns exactly with what we do here: not just coping, but growing. Not just surviving, but rising.

It is truly an honor to witness the transformation that takes place, not just in the lives of those who participate in the program, but in those who become facilitators too.

Whether you're navigating personal growth, team dynamics, or a season that's asking more of you than you expected β€” I'm more equipped than ever to walk that journey with you. Reach out if you'd like to know more about bringing this program to your team, business, or church.

What does significance mean to you right now?
