I got a job yesterday as a life coach. I love my new job. I don't have any pets or children. I beat cancer. I got into running after that. I am determined. I eat clean and am self aware. I am building my client portfolio. I used to be an athletic trainer. I like sports. I am active. I have never been kayaking.
I am a dog walker. I like dogs. I have one young child and I am pregnant. I am due in 4 months. I like to kayak. I have a kayak trip soon.
Turns out I have a new client that also likes to kayak. I told him you were going to teach me how to do it. He said he would give me pointers as well!  Are you sure you want to do it? I can definitely teach you the basics if you are willing to go with me on my next trip. Yeah definitely! I feel like water sports are the final frontier for me when it comes to athletics.  It also seems like a great way to forge bonds with clients.  How late in your pregnancy do you expect to keep kayaking?  I'll keep going until I feel like I can't do it anymore. So, who knows really? Anyway, do you want to start out kayaking by doing something calm (like a lake) or should we aim for a river with rapids? Hmm, do you think it'd be easier for me to learn the techniques in calmer water?  Or is it better to jump straight to rapids since that's where I want to end up eventually?  I think it would be better to start out in calm water. Once you have been able to practice the basics for a bit then we go to moving water. I think you'll be fine though.  That sounds reasonable, I definitely want to make sure I really know what I'm doing if I'm going to be kayaking with this client later on.  It'd be a bad look for me to not have the fundamentals down before I meet with them. Did you ever get your kayak that you were talking about buying? If not, I have one that you can borrow for the trip. I haven't bought anything yet, I was going to hold off until I tried it first to make sure I could do it.  It'd be wonderful if you'd let me borrow one!  Are you sure it'll fit me? Haha Yeah, it'll fit you no problem. I suppose it's a good idea to wait. You don't know yet if you are going to want a kayak for calm waters or for rapids.  Okay cool, do you know which calm lake we can go to?  I'm not very familiar with the places around here that allow kayaking. There is a pond/lake up by where my trip is going to be. It's also not far from where the river is located. It'll be a great time!
