When you need help untangling your thoughts and ideas

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Anonymous. They say:

“Dear Frankie and Steve,

A retainer client of mine gave notice over the weekend (her business is quiet and she can’t afford to keep us on) but it’s got me thinking and feeling a bit stuck.

I feel like *something is going to happen* — like a shift is coming? — but I can’t quite put my finger on it or work it out, and I’ve decided I want to do this myself rather than doing some coaching etc.

I suppose my question is…

What do you and Steve do when you feel like this? Do you ever feel like this??

Any tips or advice for working things out on your own?

Thanks!”
