I believe that how we approach one aspect of our lives reflects how we approach all aspects. It all begins with understanding and embracing that spark within;) 

A Bit About My Background…

I began working for myself back in 2008 when I left the corporate world and ventured into freelance writing, virtual assistance, and marketing consulting. However, it was in 2016 that I discovered the transformative power of a big part of what I do now – coaching. I hired my first coach to rekindle my passion and drive for my marketing business. Little did I know that coaching would not only revive my enthusiasm but also take me in an entirely unexpected direction.

After coaching my clients strictly in marketing, I decided to get certified as a health and life coach through The Health Coach Institute. I recognized the importance of a holistic approach to success, not only in business but in life. As we work towards our goals, whether it’s professional or personal, we must take our health and lifestyle into account to achieve what success looks like and enjoy it when we get there!

Coaching Was Pretty Powerful for Me…

Coaching unearthed deep-seated fears within me fears that revolved around the belief that I needed to become someone I wasn’t to be successful. I thought I had to adopt a more outgoing and assertive persona that didn’t align with my true self.

My first coach posed questions that forced me to confront my deepest thoughts and fears head-on. Speaking my truth, desires, fears, and insecurities out loud became a powerful exercise in self-discovery. I began to challenge myself in ways I had never done before, and this process revealed a clearer path ahead – one that resonated with my authentic self.

Through this journey, I learned two valuable lessons.

A) I had been running from the things I truly desired in life because I didn’t trust myself. I had placed more trust in the opinions of others than in my instincts.

B) I discovered that I’m a pretty amazing person just as I am. My unique ideas, my love for solitude, my sensitivity to emotions, and even the conversations I have with my dog (anyone else?) all contribute to the uniqueness of my personality.

BTW, while I might claim myself as an introvert, I’ve come to realize that there’s so much more to me than a simple label. Embracing my introversion has given me a foundation to build upon, rather than an excuse to hide behind.

Over time, I’ve leaned into my true self without making excuses for it. This unlocked a deep dive into what I want my life, business, and career to look like, revealing a clear path for me to follow. Just an interesting observation I’ve made over the years.
