What is Life Coaching, Anyway?

I first heard about Life Coaching from my massage therapist. She told me she'd been working with a coach who helped her clarify the direction she wanted to go in life.

My first thought was - a massage therapist has a Life Coach?

Mostly I was projecting my own insecurities on the subject. At the time, I assumed that only high level executives or famous people worked with life coaches.

What I soon realized, is that this kind of resource is available to anyone willing to invest in themselves.

At that point in my life, I had done quite a lot of therapy and personal development. I had dealt with a lot of big life events that all seemed to happen at the same time. I was healing from the stress of it all, but I still didn't know what my next steps could look like.

My whole world shifted upside down between my divorce and losing my dad.

I didn't know how to be this new person. I was now an ex wife and a single mother. I hadn't dated in 20 years - long before Tinder was a thing!

My relationships with everyone and everything changed after the death of my dad. My entire existence didn't seem to matter like it had before. I didn't see the point in the work I was doing. I couldn't relate to my co-workers in the same way.

And not all of this was bad - it was part of my evolution as a person.

The problem I found, though, was just like I projected my fears and insecurities on my massage therapist when she told me about her life coach, was that my friends and family were doing the same things to me!

It was likely an unconscious thing, and I think everyone meant well, but any changes I wanted to make in my life somehow affected THEM and it held me back.

I needed an unbiased person, who didn't know my entire background, who could simply guide me to the next right step. MY next right step.

You see, a coach doesn't have a vested interest in the outcome of your actions and decisions. A good coach will want to see you succeed and will celebrate with you, of course. But, they can't live your life for you.

A coach is a sounding board for all your ideas - crazy or otherwise.

They help you get clear on what it is you want and WHY you want it.

When you have that down, there's nothing stopping you - especially not the outside noise of your well meaning family and friends.

With a Life Coach, you'll dig deep, but it's NOT therapy - it's a dynamic collaboration.

We're not here to dwell on the past, but instead, sculpt your future.

Together we'll identify goals, unearth hidden potentials, and create an action plan that fits YOU.

It's all about unlocking the superhero within you, unleashing the powers you might not even realize you possess.

Life coaching is an investment in yourself, a commitment to growth, and a celebration of your journey – the messy, beautiful, extraordinary journey that is uniquely yours.

It's a journey where self-love and empowerment dance hand in hand, where resilience becomes second nature, and where you become the author of your story.

It's an ongoing transformative conversation, a holistic experience, and a powerful partnership aimed at helping you become the hero of your own narrative.

Sound good?

Let's dream big, and together, we'll build you a life that you don't need a vacation from 😉
