SHOULD YOU QUIT YOUR JOB NOW?
“You have to help me quit my job!”
Even though the video was off, I could tell from Bria’s voice that she was in tears. This strong woman couldn’t keep herself together anymore.
“You’re experiencing strong emotions now. That’s very natural,” I said, wanting to help her feel safe and accepted.
After all, Bria and I had only met once in an event. Knowing that I was a coach, she reached out the next day to see if I could help.
If there’s anything I’ve learned from my years of coaching, it’s that when the person is emotional, you need to give them the space to feel it.
So as Bria sobbed, I stayed silent, feeling my belly rise and fall with each breath. After a short while, I could sense that her wave of emotion had passed.
“Shall we take one long easy breath together?” I asked.
I heard her breathing with me. I paused, allowing Bria the time to settle, then I asked her to tell me what’s so difficult to her about her job.
After listening to her sharing, I said: “I can definitely help you, Bria.” I heard a sigh of relief on the other end. “But only if you promise me you won’t quit your job yet.”
3 months after that conversation, Bria waltzed in my office one evening holding a bottle of red wine: “Let’s celebrate!”
She had a giddy grin on her face, the very special grin with a dimple that I’d come to love after many hours supporting her. “Oh! Is it okay for us to drink a glass of wine in our coaching session?” She asked.
I laughed: “Of course. What are we celebrating?”
Bria said, her face brightened even more: “I just realized today that I have the perfect job!”
The most fascinating thing about this story is that the “perfect job” she referred to was the exact same job she had practically begged me to help her quit.
Bria’s circumstances hadn’t changed. But her experiences of the circumstances had changed 180 degrees. Why? Because she did.
Bria’s story teaches me once again, that life is truly created from the inside out.

根據宣傳的故事大綱，這一季裡面將會有睡美人、美女與野獸還有灰姑娘。
不過這回的開頭沒有第一季那麼明確，也加入了一些曲折，而人物與人物間的關係更是糾
結，因此這個童話現代變奏曲接下來的發展似乎就沒有那麼容易預期了。
但這就是這個系列令人著迷的原因，雖然說真的上一季的後半與結尾似乎有些潦草帶過，
滿希望這回目前已經有了一個令人期待開始的第二季，會有更加精彩的轉折與結果。
劇組是否可以稍微更無視童話故事的結局呢?
至少不要太去在乎廣泛流通的美化版的即可。
但雖說這回人物開頭比較看不出是何者的轉生似乎也不完全是，至少美女與野獸這部分是
滿明顯的，只是編劇稍稍倒轉了傳統上的既定印象，互換了兩者的身分。
野獸是原本備受期待的鄉村歌手新星Ashley Rose，而美女則是轉換生涯從警察轉任私人
保全的Beau。
兩人因為Ashley遭到疑似瘋狂粉絲的汽車縱火(炸彈)攻擊重傷而相識，開始Beau只是盡忠
職守，保護傷癒出院的Ashley避開狗仔還有粉絲的追逐。
而兩人間的關係發展與原先的文本相比應該不會有太多變化吧?
令人好奇的則是Paul Wesley本回會是怎樣的角色。
因為與他對手的是現代版的睡美人Olivia Moon，而他是個失意的作家Tucker Reed。
Reed是Ashley姊姊Maddie的未婚夫，然卻對Moon有謎樣的執迷，或許更合適的形容詞是
跟蹤客(stalker)，而且程度已經到會設法進入被害人家中以滿足自己慾望的情況。
該不會最後又落得跟客串的上一季一樣悲慘吧???
而且說真的，最原始版本的睡美人有些情節滿....兒童超級不宜的，而劇組也不太可能是
改編自闔家歡美化版的。
所以，究竟是會落在這個極大範疇中的那一點滿令人好奇的。
至於灰姑娘的部分目前真的有些看不出端倪，但這個由Ashley Madekwe飾演的Simone卻
在開始就與Ashley的哥哥Jackson有著頗為意外的英雌救..落難男的相遇過程。
本應是妹妹Ashley首張專輯主吉他的Jackson，一個因為素行不端，在首演前就被自己老媽
(兼女兒Ashley經紀人)開除，好像跟童話故事中的王子有著十萬八千里的差異。
上回的開頭，人物與人物間的關係是看似不相干的，然這回卻從開始就發現這些角色原本
就落在同一個人際網絡中，無論是美女與野獸、睡美人或是灰姑娘都有所交集，這是暗示
接下來的發展會比上一季更加複雜曲折嗎?
真的只希望並期待轉折能比上一季更加精彩了。
