My office buddy Darla!

Working from home is fantastic.

And, it is even better with a buddy to keep you company. 🐶

Especially a chill, quiet, loveable one!

Working out of my home office is a blessing I never take for granted.

And,

I remind myself that I consciously and purposefully designed this life for myself.

When I redesigned my work and life, I took the time to really understand

💠 How I operate best.

💠 What lights me up.

💠 What depletes me.

And how I best live into my purpose at this stage of life! 💎

I am so happy to have found the sweet spot of lifting up others while taking care of myself. 🥳

If you are ready to redesign your work and life to better suit you at this current stage of your life, my Next Spark Accelerator program may be just the tool you need to make that change.

If you are interested in more details, shoot me a direct message or comment below.

Feeling more energetic, passionate and in control of your work in life feels GREAT.

Just because you are good at something does NOT me

Just because you are good at something does NOT mean you have to do it.

Seriously.

I have been watching the Netflix series Lincoln Lawyer lately (yes, I recommend it).

I usually can’t enjoy law shows, from my years as a litigator.

Sometimes it is because they are so off base from reality I just can’t take it.

And sometimes, it is because they are so spot on I get mini PTSD.

From all the STRESS!!!

Now, over a decade since I tried my last case in court, I finally can watch a trial and not get triggered into a stress response.

Whew!

When I left the law, I was quite successful.

Folks couldn’t understand how or why I would walk away from such a prestigious (to some) profession.

But, the thing is, just because I was good at it didn’t mean it was lighting me up, fulfilling my values, working well with my parenting responsibilities or energizing me in the right ways.

Rather, it was depleting me in ways I was too exhausted to really even comprehend at the time.

Now, that I have designed for myself a life and business that really works in my zone of genius and lets me construct how I use my time -

I feel SO much better!

(I don’t even grind my teeth at night anymore! Bye bye bite guard!)

And with that perspective and time, I can see how stressful being a trial lawyer can be, especially when you care about your clients.

So, I am glad I can watch Lincoln Lawyer and see - wow - that is a lot of pressure on him!

And know in my core that it is NOT the stress I want in my life.

I love being of service to others (why I even went into the law) BUT now I do it MY way!

What are you doing that you are good at, that you really don’t have to do?

Might it be time for a shift into a fresh chapter of your work and life?

If so, direct message me for more information on my Next Spark Accelerator Program.

While I am fully booked for September, there are 2 spots available to start in October!

Celebrating my high-powered client who successfull

Celebrating my high-powered client who successfully negotiated more time for herself outside of work! 🥳

She successfully moved from working (more than) full time to 3 days a week in the office (and 1 remote)!

This was a big move, as she is at the pinnacle of seniority in her global company.

But, she is READY!

✅ She knows her value.

✅ She knows her strengths.

✅ She knows that she wants more out of life than her 25 years of working for this (wonderful) company.

So, this shift is HUGE!

It will let her spend EVERY weekend as a lovely looong weekend at her second home in the mountains!

💎 It will let her hike and travel with her spouse.

💎 It will let her pay attention to her health at the right level.

💎 It will let her dig into her zones of expertise and interest to contribute in new and specific ways to the company.

All women I work with are SO accomplished in work and in life.

AND

😎 They no longer choose to over-hustle.

😎They no longer choose to do work that no longer interests them.

😎 They no longer feel the need to prove themselves. (Because they already have!)

They are READY to let themselves reap the harvest of all their hard work, and start choosing themselves first. 🥳

Now, that isn’t to say that your job, company, work, role can’t be your main focus.

Work can be a source of wonderful engagement, joy, accomplishment and purpose.

And,

Sometimes, you KNOW you are ready to take it back a notch and try something different.

🌼 Something that lights you up more.

🌼 Something that lets you create space and time for new passions to appear and evolve.

🌼 Something that allows you to feel you are living your life, YOUR way!

I built my Next Spark Accelerator program specifically to guide you map and clear your path to your next refreshed chapter of work and life.

While my September spaces have filled, I just opened two new spots for October!

If this resonates with you, message me today for more information!

You deserve to put yourself first.

Message me today for more details to see if the Next Spark Accelerator program is for you!

Yep! How on point is this?💯 (thank you Grace S

Yep!

How on point is this?💯 (thank you Grace Segers!)

Why do we do this to ourselves?

Let me explain some of the very good reasons:

✅ Research shows that connectedness and (at least a couple of) good relationships are linked to greater wellbeing in life.

✅ Humans are wired for connection.

✅ As women, we are socialized to be pleasant in order to facilitate connection (and avoid the dreaded shunning from the group.)

✅ And, there is the matter of hormones (like estrogen and oxytocin) that facilitate nurturing and caregiving.

😳 So, of course we try hard to be seen as pleasant, non threatening and kind.

Now, the interesting wrinkle (pun intended) is that women’s levels of estrogen and oxytocin in menopause get much lower.

Lower estrogen and oxytocin can then lower the innate need to nurture and care for others.

💎 Imagine the implications of feeling a bit less nurturing and caregiving of others.

Might this be the reason why sometimes, as we age, we could give fewer {insert favorite curse} what other people think?

Might this contribute to women who are ready to put their own needs and desires back on the top of the list as they enter the second half of life?

Or, the reason that (like so many of my clients) they are ready to invest in themselves, first, instead of putting themselves last - behind their caregiving responsibilities to children, parents, pets and partners?

🌼I am meeting so many women who are ready to redesign their work and life as they move into their next phase of life.

And, who are SO ready to use fewer exclamation marks in their communications. 😂

Sound like you?

🥳

The silver lining for the win! This was my first

The silver lining for the win!

This was my first season planting dahlias at the new house.

They are gorgeous!

I kept admiring them from the driveway, but just couldn’t bring myself to cut them to bring them inside…they just seemed so perfect and precious.

Then, one of several storms tore through town, and also tore through my dahlias….

A few of them looked so sad with the blossoms knocked over and stems sheared in half.

So, of course, I rescued them by cutting them and bringing them inside,

And had the pleasure of having lunch with them today!

Yet another version of making lemons into lemonade….

I love a good reframe for the better!

(It is a key ingredient in my life and business redesign coaching, as well!)

🌟 I talk to so many people out there who are looking for that ONE next thing that will make them feel fulfilled.

If sounds like you, contrary to popular opinion, you may NOT actually need to:

💠 switch jobs,

💠 change partners,

💠 refresh your diet,

💠 buy new clothes,

💠 take another vacation, or

💠 start a new fitness routine -

IN ORDER TO FEEL HAPPIER IN LIFE! 😎

You have taken those yoga classes, meditated, gotten body work, read Gabby, Brene and Pema, and maybe even hired a counselor or coach, but nothing really changed.

💎 You are a talented and motivated woman, who plans for the future.

You have already proven yourself professionally, (and that was an accomplishment!) but now you are ready for something new.

You are SO ready to move into your next chapter, but you just don’t know what that next “something” could look like.

And, you aren’t even sure you have enough time, energy or bandwidth at this point to figure it out.

What you really need is a clear and proven path to more energy, sense of purpose, and passion, so that you 100% FEEL that your life is fulfilling!

🎯 This is exactly why I developed the Next Spark Accelerator Program!

In the Next Spark Accelerator Program I guide you through my proprietary process to get the deeper results that really move the needle on your inner happiness. I also teach you tools and skills to keep moving forward, despite any inner fears that may hamper your progress forward!

🌟 However, I only accept a handful of clients at a time, and there is only 1 more spot open to start in September.

If you are ready to get started on your next chapter, simply comment below or message me and I will get you ALL the details!

The time is NOW to get your fresh start to design your life YOUR way!

Direct message me today, or email me at kirsten@kirstenbeske.com for more details and to grab that last spot!

(Or to get on the waitlist for October!)

Heard from my amazing clients, after they made their big leaps forward into their next chapter in my Next Spark Accelerator program…
🥳 “So grateful to work with you. It has literally been life changing.”

🥳 “My mentality 6 months ago is nearly unrecognizable to me. The capital investment in the program was SO worth it.”
🥳” It was really a revelation to make myself as much of a priority as I do others!!!! (And that was the secret sauce!!!!)”
🥳 “Through our work together you helped me bring a hunch into fruition. Thank you for creating a safe vessel for me to explore my next move.”

Wondering if it may be fun to work together to create your best next chapter?
Does this sound familiar?
➡️ I've had a hard time imagining what's possible over the past few years.
➡️ I feel stuck professionally and unable to shake out of whatever is weighing me down.
➡️ I haven’t made an investment in my personal and professional development in YEARS!
➡️ My confidence that I can make a shift at this point in my life is shaky at best!

If any of this resonates with you, it could be the perfect time for my 1-1 Next Spark Accelerator Program!

Locals, If you haven’t checked out Nik’s Creamies in West Bratt, you are missing out!

Happy Summer and back to school!

I am a bit sad to move into back to school mode.

BUT, there are exciting things happening this fall in my business!

Stay tuned! 😎

My favorite summer hangout!

Did you know your hammock also can act as a bit of a cocoon?

I loved my summer naps out here, all cozied up, away from the house, out in the trees.

My nervous system could relax completely.

My brain could relax.

My body could relax.

And, reset.

I just got out a sleeping bag from the basement..

I am going to try to extend my hammock season as far as possible!

The research shows that deep relaxation is a key part of optimizing our health and brain power!

What do you do for deep rest and relaxation?

Happy Adoption-versary to Us! 🥳 One year ago,

Happy Adoption-versary to Us! 🥳

One year ago, I had the extreme honor of adopting my daughter Makayla. 🥰

The Courts were still under Covid protocol, so it was a virtual hearing, but Judge Jodi French did a terrific job making us feel the warmth and joy of the day.

This kiddo came to us when she was just 8 years old. She just turned 12!

If you could see her transformation over the last 4 years, you would be floored!

She is a bundle of energy, a social extrovert who is happiest in motion, a backbend or a split. Or singing.

She brings a smile to our faces on the daily, and I can’t imagine how dull life would be without her lighting up our house.

I definitely thought I was heading into empty nest time, with both my older kids off at college.

But, this unexpected new chapter has been full of unanticipated joy.

She has taught us so many lessons, including her amazing resilience in the first 7 years of her life.

I can’t imagine our family without her! 🥰

Happy First Adoption-versary to Us!!!

Does this feel like you?

Or, do you worry that you actually did stop along the way?

💥If you are feeling stuck and tired in your life, it may be time for a little redesign!

I have aligned and redesigned my life multiple times over the decades:

✅ Lawyer to therapist.

✅ Therapist to business owner and coach.

✅ Married to divorced.

✅ Single to married.

✅Mothering to empty nesting.

✅ Empty nesting to mothering.

After repeating the process of redesigning my life so many times, and each time coming out better and better on the other side, I have an excellent understanding of the process of making hard changes.

If you are feeling called to realign and redesign your life to fit you better in your next phase of life, let’s chat!

My clients have reinvented themselves to be many things!

🌼 Podcast producer.

🌼 International speaker.

🌼 Conflict resolution professional.

🌼 Life Coach.

🌼 Banking Consultant

And SO many more exciting paths.

💎It is not too late to realign and redesign your life for more joy and ease!

Tired of the grind? Taking care of all the people

Tired of the grind?

Taking care of all the people, before you take care of yourself?

Know you were meant for MORE, if you could just find the space and time to figure it all out?

Many women I know in the entrepreneurial space are burning the candle at both ends.

💠 They are caring for entire households.

💠 They are caring for aging parents.

💠 They are working more than one “job” as they try to make ends meet.

Does this sound like you?

Have you wondered if there is an easier way to do it?

✅ A way that can honor your skills, strengths, sense of purpose and passions in life?

✅ A path that lets you live out your values and purpose in action!

✅ A future that brings you more JOY and EASE as you move through this precious life?

My Next Spark Accelerator Clients get the chance to dig into those questions for themselves.

And, in the process, write the next chapter of their business and life that aligns perfectly for them.

In Phase One, we draw out your inner strengths, values, experience and wisdom so that we co-create your most aligned path forward. We combine established brain science with intuition and creativity to craft your unique vision for your future.

In Phase Two, I support you to take clear, actionable steps towards your clarified vision. My experience as a psychotherapist for over a decade allows me to safely work with you through those tricky leaps of faith and zones of discomfort as you grow into your new personal identity.

In Phase Three, we consolidate, fine-tune and establish a long term plan so that you can continue down the ideal path you have envisioned for yourself.

I take only a handful of clients at any one time.

I have one spot open in the month of August for the right fit client.

If you are ready to draft the next chapter of your life and work to fit you like a glove, message me for more information.

We can chat and see if the Next Spark Accelerator Program may be just the thing you need to move smoothly into a more passion filled and easeful life.

It was a mystery to me… ✅ Why did my mother a

It was a mystery to me…

✅ Why did my mother always say I was “too sensitive” when I shared my emotions?

✅ Why did I perform fine in tennis tournaments….until there was a crowd of spectators?

✅ Why couldn’t I even look at the audience before I had to give a speech or make a legal argument?

Well, NOW I have an explanation, thanks to the work of Dr. Elaine Aaron, who has been researching the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)since 1991.

If you aren’t familiar with the concept of HSPs, a simple Google search will tell you all about them.

Basically, it is exactly how it sounds - you are much more sensitive to energy, sensations, emotions, noise, light, sound, people, situations, conflict, etc…..

And, of course, folks' degrees of sensitivities fall on a scale, like all things.

😎 Like all good frameworks, once you find one that fits, SO MANY things make sense.

Sure I am introverted. (Knew that.)

But, that didn’t explain ALL the things.

✅ Like how hard it is to socialize with more than a few people at at time.

✅ Like how much I hate being observed and judged.

✅ Like how much I always needed quiet down time away from all humans. Always.

SO, once I learned about the HSP framework, it let me accept this way I am wired in a new, more profound way.

🥳 Instead of making me responsible for not being “normal” like so many extroverted, less sensitive folks, I could be my geeky, introverted self without guilt or judgment.

And, as I built my online Work and Life Redesign Coaching business, I could tailor my work to my zone of genius and use my strengths in working 1-1 and in small groups to my clients best advantage.

And……..

💎 On October 4th I am a presenting Speaker at The HSP Awakening Virtual Summit!

🌼 If you are an HSP, or simply wonder if you are one, this Summit is for you!

You can find the Registration Page below in the comments. ⬇️

🥳 The slate of speakers and breadth of topics is incredible!

I’d love for you to join us!

Ready to ditch “other people’s” version of s

Ready to ditch “other people’s” version of success?

(It took me over 40 years to get to this point, just saying….)

Ready to decide for YOU how to manage your time, contribute to the world, make money and care for yourself and those you love?

I keep seeing and hearing coaching “experts” give out advice like a drug dealer giving out pills.

Take this [system] and your life and business will improve! Guaranteed.

I call BS on this one size fits all marketing.

Every person is different.

✅ Has different internal programming.

✅ Has different fears.

✅ Has different motivations.

✅ Has different ways of processing.

✅ Has different definitions of “success.”

How do you answer these questions for yourself?

This is precisely the work I do with my clients - meeting them exactly where they are, who they are and helping them gain clarity on where they want to be —-and how to get there!

Without presuming they are like any other client I have ever had!

In fact, Phase One of my Next Spark Accelerator Program is EXACTLY that:

digging into you, to see how YOU are specifically designed.

💠 What are YOUR strengths?

💠 What is YOUR style of moving through change?

💠What has been holding YOU back from your dreams?

And, most importantly…..

💎What are YOUR dreams and why are they uniquely yours and no one else’s version of success!!!?

I spent too many years of my life trying to live into someone else’s version of success.
(Cue my litigation attorney days….)

Life is short and we have limited time to course correct and ensure we are living the life we want!

If you are interested in designing your work and life for more joy and fulfillment in the next chapter, I invite you to message me today about my 1-1 Next Spark Accelerator Program!

I only work with a handful of clients at a time, and there is currently 1 spot open for August.

Direct message me today for more details!

When LESS is MORE Which type of vacation did you

When LESS is MORE

Which type of vacation did you have this summer?

We had a fun one, camping near the beach in one of our favorite Cape locations!

We tented. We beached. We ice-creamed. We Barbie movied. We World Cup soccered. We met up with friends. We biked. We battled mosquitoes. We peed in the woods. We ate expensive lobster rolls. We fed the local raccoon.

It was a blast!

AND

When we got home, I felt like I needed “a vacation.”

You know,

The kind of vacation where you just sit and read and eat. And read. And snack. And read, and have lunch. And read. And take a walk. And read. And have dinner. And watch a show. And sleep. And repeat.

So, we lined one of those up for later this month. 🙂

That precious balance between variety, stimulation and peace and restoration.

The pace and cadence of life and business always keeps us on our toes.

What is your ideal pace?

Are you a go go go and thrive?

Are you a chill, chill, chill and thrive?

Or a combo, like me, that needs ALL the extra time for both?

I’d love to hear!

What is up with my Ruby throated hummingbird famil

What is up with my Ruby throated hummingbird family?

Today they are drinking up a storm from the feeder right outside my office window!

I am literally watching the water level go down before my eyes.

Which makes me wonder…..are they getting ready to leave?

While summer is still in full force, the cooler nights here point to the coming shift in the seasons.

So, it is just a matter of time before this hummingbird fam heads south, down to sunnier and warmer Mexican or Central America climates….

I’ll miss them.

The seasons sure seem to move quickly these days!

PS. Speaking of seasons,

I have an exciting new announcement coming this Fall!

Stay tuned for more details!

☀️Summertime! ☀️ Tomatoes from our first

☀️Summertime! ☀️

Tomatoes from our first garden at the new house!

The garden has been terrific AND

We have learned a few things to tweak for next year.

(like, move the tomatoes to the far bed, as it seems to get more sun.)

🌻 Gardens are such a great metaphor for the cycles of life.

You have to start somewhere!

So, you do.

And, hopefully things go well.

😬 AND, often there are lessons to learn.

“Trial and error” is an expression for a reason.

BUT

“Trial and LEARN” would be more appropriate .✅

If your life or business isn’t reaping massive rewards at this point,

It could be an invitation to TWEAK and LEARN about how to feel more gratified and satisfied.

This is a main pillar in the 3 Phases of my Next Spark Accelerator Program.

🌼 If you are ready to change it up and see more rewards for all your hard work, let’s chat and see if the Next Spark Accelerator Program may be right for you.

I have just one spot open for the month of August!

🥳 Practice what you preach! AKA My softball t

🥳 Practice what you preach! AKA My softball team ROCKS!

Here we are at the post game Cloud Appreciation Society “cah bah.”

(For those of you not in New England, that is Car Bar.)

The sky was amazing and the cloud formations were in crazy shapes!

Clouds were named, pictures were taken, laughs were abundant.

💎 So often I get the pleasure of hearing my own words quoted back to me from friends and family, appropriately and kindly, when I need to hear them.

One of my soap box themes is about the proven value of PLAY and JOY and CONNECTION in our overall well being.

Yet, sometimes my wife has to drag me out the door to our late softball games.
Last night our team, The Persistah’s, had a rare double header and were out on the field from 7 to 10 pm.

And….

We had FUN the whole time!

After a long and tedious day, it was the highlight of my week! (Thanks Persistah’s!).

As we move through the decades, it gets harder and harder to find these opportunities to play, challenge ourselves, connect with others and just laugh and have fun.

Your PLAY could be joining adult improv, singing in a chorus, making art, volunteering on a fun community project ……you get the picture.

If you haven’t “played” in a while, here is your invitation to carve out some time to up your FUN FACTOR in life!

It may seem like “just another thing” to add to your busy schedule BUT it will pay off tenfold!

Life is short.

Play hard.😎
