Marianne Preston Coach- Navigating Change & Burnout Recovery Newsletter:January 26, 2026 Hey there Reader, Finding Your Voice in Difficult Times Like so many others, I’m feeling the shock of what we’ve witnessed in the news and what we’re living through.

Marianne Preston Coach- Life Transitions & Burnout Recovery Newsletter:January 19, 2026 Hey there Reader, Trust Just Feels Different Than It Used To When I was younger, trust seemed simpler.

I think about being 18 and deciding to go to the Yukon.No friends there, not much money and no job waiting. I just went. Or moving to...

Marianne Preston Coach- Navigating Change & Burnout Recovery Newsletter:January 12, 2026 Hey there Reader, Before You Reinvent Yourself, Consider This January has a certain energy to it, doesn’t it? A clean slate.Fresh intentions.A quiet (or not-so-quiet) pressure to decide who you’re going to be this year. We’re told this is the moment to set the goals, make the plans, fix what didn’t work, and finally become the version of ourselves we’ve been promising we’ll get to. And yet… I wonder if...

Marianne Preston Coach- Navigating Change & Burnout Recovery Newsletter: December 29, 2025 Hey there Reader, The Quiet Wisdom of the In-Between Rest, Reflection, and the Days Between Christmas and New Year.

We lose track of what day it is, the pace slows, and we often find ourselves at one end of the continuum or the other. Some people feel a surge of energy: taking down decorations,...
