Self-Discovery Blossoms With a Guide By Your Side
It seems counterintuitive, but the most successful outcomes of a journey of self-discovery happen when you partner with a guide. Having a qualified professional working alongside you opens the door to learning what’s happening in your life from the inside out. When we partner in your journey to nurture a healthier lifestyle, we find out what’s influencing your behavior and your choices and help you discover the energy and wellbeing you’ve been missing.
Working Alone Leaves You Vulnerable
Left to ourselves, when we feel low, crummy and just surviving day to day, we know something’s wrong - but what? And then we tune into conversations online, on TV, or in person – everyone’s talking about the latest fad in eating habits, nutritional supplements, mindset and fitness. The gurus are spouting the “latest” theory, each contradicting the other, leaving you more confused and even less willing to try anything out. We feel compelled to take action: we try, we fail, and now we’re more tired than ever.
The truth is that people are looking for the solution outside themselves, but the answer is hiding within. I work with career professionals and small business owners who battle the challenge of applying our whole energy into our career and into our household and into our relationships, leaving only scraps of energy for ourselves.
How a Wellbeing Coach Helps You Refocus
As a board-certified coach, I help you bring your attention back to self care and wellbeing. We’re going to explore ways to bring YOU back into the limelight. Thriving and attaining success starts with looking at yourself as a whole person. A recent client said, “you helped me find structure in my chaos”.
You go to work every day intending on being great at your profession; but showing up without your whole energy helps no one. You can’t reach your career goals thinking you can keep going like a machine: you can’t run on fumes. And then at home you push through to find more energy for your family and tending to household needs. After all this, you’re left with nothing for yourself. Let’s work together to find a solution that’s unique to you.
A Story of Lost Energy and Ambition
Let me tell you about an ambitious and focused client who came to me exhausted, physically and emotionally. With COVID, her company shifted to working from home. A natural extrovert, she was now stuck in the house, deprived of the vitality she gained from seeing people. Working from home, she felt confined and boundaries blurred. Her ‘me’ time and the special things she used to do for herself were gone. She felt as though she had lost her ambition and was drained of her energy.
Help Making New Choices
As her Integrative Wellbeing Coach, I partnered with her to explore what “me time” she needed in this new environment. Reviewing possibilities that could work for her, she decided to try mindfulness practices that were most meaningful to her. She experimented with what worked for her to add more movement into her day and reanimate herself even while stuck in the house.
She knew that trying to figure things out on your own takes a lot of time and energy at a time when you’re already feeling exhausted, so she felt it was time to give coaching a try.
I helped her uncover possibilities and try on new strategies, developing a comfort in experimenting for herself. I encouraged her to move at her pace and celebrate every win. She revealed that if she had not reached out for my help, she would have been stuck spinning in the same space.
Reconnecting to Yourself Re-energizes You
When she was able to reconnect to herself, she could fully show up and reignite her natural ambition, and this transformation resulted in a promotion. At a recent corporate event, one of her co-workers, seeing her vibrant energy, exclaimed, “what happened to you?” She replied, “me!” She was physically, spiritually and emotionally showing up, looking happier due to her renewed energy and new physicality. When you’re physically and emotionally reanimated, you carry yourself with confidence and show up as your true energetic self.
Each one of my clients is different and special, so I don’t hand out cookie cutter solutions. If you’d like to reach out to me to see what coaching might look like for YOU, I welcome a discovery call.
