Episode notes
Origin Story Of Girl Water Your Grass
- MK Wathen invented the phrase Girl Water Your Grass while jogging and lamenting friends' divorces, meaning focus on your present responsibilities.
- The image stuck: tend your own life with gratitude instead of comparing to others, a recurring theme for their podcast.
Mindset Coaching Targets The Soul
- Erin Ingold emphasizes mindset coaching's primacy because the intellect and will (soul) are where grace acts and real change begins.
- She contrasts this with behavioral Band-Aid coaching that treats symptoms instead of uprooting thought patterns.
Temperaments Guide Practical Coaching
- Temperaments provide a practical lens to meet people where they are and coach toward virtue rather than boxing them.
- MK used temperament results to change how she asks questions of a friend who compulsively fixes others.
