What you’ll practice

This is a reflective practice guided by Juana. It gives you one honest question to sit with — the kind that moves you from thinking about an idea to working with it.

The reflection itself unfolds in conversation with Juana, where it adapts to your situation — so you practice it together rather than reading it off the page.

Practice this with Juana
Begin the reflection in a coaching conversation, where it meets what you’re actually working through.
