00;00;04;12 - 00;00;31;25 Unknown Welcome to Inside the Practitioner's Path. I'm Eli Coats, and I'm Barb Patterson. This is a private space for those doing this work and those feeling called to it, who want to live what they teach and explore. The real behind the scenes happenings about our work, ourselves, and the edges we meet along the way. It's unfiltered and unedited, just like us talking about how this work shapes us right alongside our clients. 00;00;32;02 - 00;00;58;05 Unknown We share what moves us, what makes us laugh, and what we're still figuring out. This is about presence, practice, and community. The ongoing work of being human while helping other humans. Well, welcome inside. I think I'm taking too long. Welcome. Should be like that. Okay. Welcome, welcome. Oh. It's impossible. Hey, everybody. Welcome. We're just so glad you're here. 00;00;58;06 - 00;01;11;15 Unknown I love anything you want to add to that. Welcome inside. 00;01;11;17 - 00;01;40;11 Unknown Hi everyone. Welcome to Inside the Practitioner's Path podcast. I'm Eli Coats and I'm Barb Patterson, and we're excited to have you here. I got inspired because of the program that we're starting in January called The Practitioners Path, and that the intention of that program is really about the practitioner embodying the work, the work that we bring to our clients. 00;01;40;13 - 00;02;01;09 Unknown And I thought, my gosh, it would be so fun to have a podcast where we talk about that and all the different facets of being a practitioner and how, in my mind, living the work, doing the work, being a student of the work is the best way to do life, but also to be a practitioner and to help people. 00;02;01;10 - 00;02;27;19 Unknown When you mentioned that I was, it was a definite yes. And when I was really sitting with it like, what is what's most exciting to me about it? It was a couple things. One was, those of us that do this kind of work are often having conversations outside of the sessions, outside of the workshops, you know, whatever that might be with our colleagues. 00;02;27;19 - 00;02;58;19 Unknown And those conversations are so rich. They've been so helpful, beneficial, transformative to me in my life. And I thought, yeah, what if we took the conversations we've been having? You know, behind the scenes and created a way for us to be in conversation not only with each other, but with other people. And so for me, I got inspired then about a private podcast, and I know you were, you know, like, we can do that. 00;02;58;19 - 00;03;28;24 Unknown And I'm like, we can. Yeah, yeah. And the reason for the private is it felt less like, just a general broadcast and you hope someone's on the other end and more like, we could create community. And that's what inspires me about this conversation. Like being in community with other people that want to engage in this conversation with us, that kind of we know who's on the other end, and that throughout the podcast will have ways to potentially ask questions here. 00;03;28;24 - 00;03;50;24 Unknown What's on your mind, what you're seeing. So yeah, I'm grateful that we were doing this. Me too. And I feel like one of the biggest ways I've grown as a practitioner is when I've been able to look behind the scenes at what other coaches, healers, practitioners, mentors are doing. Like the work that they're doing that's not visible. 00;03;50;26 - 00;04;20;27 Unknown And it's, it's those it's their own inner healing work. It's the conversations they have with their colleagues and their mentors. It's how they grow themselves. And so we're doing that. We're creating this space where you can tune in and also engage with us and ask us questions and throw topics our way. We'll share about the the experiences we have with our own clients and where we get stuck and where we're growing and seeing more. 00;04;20;29 - 00;04;58;21 Unknown I work a lot with teenagers and parents and other coaches. Barb works with people too, I think, and I do work with people. I work with a lot of founders, leaders, executives, teams, businesses, a lot of solopreneurs, and do mentoring and have done mentoring for many, many years as well. And I think the the other piece that I know we're both really interested in is there is no separation between our own evolution and our impact with clients. 00;04;58;24 - 00;05;26;12 Unknown And some of the times our conversations are really around just what's happening for us personally inside what's what are those inner edges, those creative edges that we're living and experiencing and knowing that that work ultimately not only just serves us but serves our clients. So I love talking about that as much as kind of the work with other people. 00;05;26;15 - 00;06;00;22 Unknown Absolutely. Me too. So these conversations will be, unedited, clearly, we might take out some of our, our pauses and, yeah, yeah, yeah, we we want to be raw and authentic and real and and I know and I love actually shattering that whole idea that we need to be some perfect put together, like, avatar, superhuman figure in order to be a coach and a practitioner. 00;06;00;25 - 00;06;23;21 Unknown And that's just so not true. And it feels it does feel like the more humble and the more curious we are about our own, like Barb set our own edges and where we get triggered or where we get stuck. Like when we're willing to look at those, we just our lives get better. Yeah. And that's what we want for our clients, is to be able to support them in their lives. 00;06;23;21 - 00;06;50;01 Unknown Getting better. And and that's what we'll be talking about in a lot of different ways. We'll do solo episodes. We'll do episodes together. We'll do Q&A as we might have guests on occasionally, and we'll just bring together our combined 30 plus years of experience, working with thousands of clients, locally, globally, all around the world. And we'll have a lot of fun. 00;06;50;04 - 00;07;19;16 Unknown Yeah. So if you're a practitioner, a guide or a healer or you're interested in this work, you're interested in your own transformation.
