I am (in mostly random order) a daughter, a mother, a friend, a reader, a crocheter, an art lover, a novelist, an animal lover, a communications professional, an introvert, a passionate believer in the higher power of coffee, a convert to the benefits of journaling, and an unapologetic advocate for defining (and redefining) a confident, happy life.
I’ve embraced many shifts in my life, always with the belief that I was prepared for what was ahead. Until … Until I found myself navigating a host of surprisingly expected changes I was wholly unprepared for (sending my only child off to college on the other side of the country, moving my parents half way across the country to be closer to me, a floundering career, my husband leaving without explanation or discussion, the gut-punch of attempting to return to the job market at an age that’s closer to retirement than entry). Full confession: I spent some quality time in the despair pit. It was during that period that I realized I was missing the one key piece of the puzzle for pulling myself out of the fear … I’d lost faith in myself. It was through my work with a life coach that I was able to uncover the steppingstones forward. I learned to embrace the vulnerability and trust myself. I realized that while there are many aspects of life outside of my control, there’s plenty I can control. And by focusing on those, by being true to myself, I can become the best version of the person I want to be. That work led me to pursue coaching others who are struggling with finding themselves in the confusing, messy, scary transitions of life. |
