For many years (decades, if I’m honest), I felt like life happened TO me. I didn’t have any control – I didn’t have a say. I just played the hand I was dealt. I spent a lot of my time in survival mode, just keeping my head down, hanging on and hoping things would get better rather than worse. In a way I was safe, but that safety was also keeping me stuck.
My mother’s passing in 2018 shook me out of my safety zone. I didn’t want to go on living by default. I wanted to begin living on purpose. I began the work on myself that led me to the breakthrough that would change my life forever.
LIFE COACHING
I started with self-coaching and got to know myself a little better. Then I reached out and GOT coached, leaning into the discomfort of uncovering what was truly holding me back. The process was so powerful that I decided to BECOME a coach so I could share this life-changing work with others.
I was excited to begin, but I was still nervous. How on earth could I be qualified to coach others when MY life has been so less-than-perfect? Turns out my less-than-perfect life WAS the perfect springboard to a career of helping others heal, grow and flourish!
Everything I was ashamed of – every challenge, setback, and disappointment, everything I viewed as a failure was absolutely perfect for me. They made me who I am today and that is one strong, smart, kickass woman. And what makes me an amazing coach is I LOVE to learn and when I have those AHA moments, my first instinct is to share that with others.
So here I am. A life coach. A life coach on a mission to live my life to the fullest, out loud, on purpose.
And help my clients do the same.
