My Story
Hello You!
If you're checking out “My Story” it's likely because something I posted or said struck a chord, and made you curious to know more about who I am as a coach and a human being.
Full disclosure, I am a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser. My goal in my business and my life is to help other women recognize and work with these traits so they can learn to embrace their own magnificence, letting the bright light of their soul instantly inspire others to rise up and do the same.
Before I became a coach, my life looked more like this:
👉 I drove myself to work 60-70+ hour weeks because I needed to be seen and appreciated for my efforts.
👉 I became fixated on keeping everyone happy so they wouldn’t be disappointed in me or my work.
👉 I experienced imposter syndrome because all I could see was my inability to meet expectations.
👉 I thought I could control how others felt about me by DOING all things perfectly.
During this time, I was overwhelmed, burned out, and crying at work almost everyday. I no longer believed in myself, and I no longer felt any joy in my job because I had put my personal life on hold in favor of pleasing everyone at work. My wake up call came when my fiancée told me we couldn’t get married until he saw that planning our wedding wasn’t just “one more thing” I had to do. That was the beginning of me changing my choices, and my life.
One choice led to another until I left my career. I began focusing on building flexibility in my work so I could travel more, something I’d always wanted to do. In that time, I also stopped trying to hold the world together for everyone around me and started listening to myself more deeply. I began to recognize what was important to me, what I valued, and what brought me joy. I was finally brave enough to step into the leading role in my own life.
As a result:
💃 I stopped fearing what people might say about me, and began caring more about how I felt about myself.
💃 I learned what I did (and did not) have control over, and began taking responsibility for my own happiness.
💃 I began to embrace the TRUTH, that I have always been ENOUGH, and that fear should no longer hold me back.
💃 I found my purpose. Coaching women (like you) who are ready to live a life where they KNOW they are enough.
So my question to you is, when will you be ready to shine your light?
Aren’t you tired?
My guess is that you are, and the pain of staying on that hamster wheel is becoming more and more difficult to bear.
So if you are READY to do the work, and begin the QUEST of your life, I offer myself to you as a partner for your journey. My coaching style provides you some solace from all the external noise and gives you the space to think about YOU. If you’re looking for a quick fix I am NOT your coach, because learning how to address the beliefs and the fears of choosing YOU is a journey not a destination. The good news is, the more awareness we create together about who you are and what you want the easier the trek will become, and the more you will experience the joyful lightness and Peace that comes from BEING your authentic self.
MY COACHING METHODS
I graduated from Naropa University, with a BA in Contemplative Psychology, and pursued my coaching studies through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Accredited school of iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching). My base approach to coaching connects the Buddhist principles of my Contemplative Psychology degree with the amazing tools I learned through my extensive coach training at iPEC. The result is that I provide a safe non-judgmental space for you to observe and discuss the way you perceive your world. This process creates new awareness of the thoughts that have kept you from seeing a wealth of opportunities and choices. You’ll be amazed at what all has been patiently waiting for you to be ready.
