Gratitude and the Power of the Pen are the two most powerful tools in The small change Toolkit.
Combined, Gratitude and the Pen serve as compasses that reshape the way you think and feel about health and what it means to “Be Well!”
When integrated into other small change strategies, they:
-
Allow you to explore the physical, mental, emotional, social, occupational, financial, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
-
Connect you to your innate divine power.
-
Prepare you to let go of self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.
-
Kindle the flame of self-discovery.
-
Enable you to transcend circumstances through emotional catharsis.
-
Mend broken parts and empower you to put wings on your wellness dreams, regardless of the challenges you face.

COACHING REVIEWS:
Myrtle Russell is a transformative force—the kind of coach who challenges you to confront what’s holding you back and do the real work of change. She doesn’t coddle, and she doesn’t sugarcoat; what she offers instead is direct, unshakable guidance rooted in experience and purpose. I worked with her for seven years, and in that time, I watched her turn obstacles into growth—not just for me, but for everyone lucky enough to be on her team. Myrtle's strength lies in her ability to see the truth beneath the noise and push you to act on it, even when it’s uncomfortable. If you’re seeking real change and are willing to show up for yourself, she’s the coach who will meet you there—and won’t let you settle for anything less.

Veracity is what Myrtle Russell’s coaching has exemplified for me. She offers a holistic approach to balancing mind, body and soul. Journaling has allowed healing from life’s challenges and disappointment. Myrtle has truly taught me how the “Power of the Pen” can guide you into a deeper relationship with God, self, and others
– Tammy Cherry, Business Owner
Myrtle knows how to help her clients set relevant goals and focus on realistic dreams. Her intuitive insight and ability to recognize things about me that I had previously paid no attention to is what I most appreciate about her coaching style. Her small change approach is paying off for me in ways that I had not imagined. For anyone wanting to change the way they think about health, The small change Toolkit is where to begin
