Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

2024/01/17

When we gain life experience, learn new information and see the perspective of how other people experience life, our opinions, our beliefs, our biases change.

Confidence Coaching with Heidi Benjaminsen ·

2023/08/23

Recently I attended a funeral where I learned about early "chapters" in the life of a dear family member, whom I've only know in the last chapters of their life. These remarks profoundly moved me and I wished I had known this person as a mother of teenagers, like I am now. I wish I had seen us as more alike than I did. Our lives are all a compilation of so many small little chapters and we often only meet people in one specific chapter. And in doing so, it's easy to think we don't have things in
