I was always holding my breath, afraid of what would happen if I exhaled. Always anxious, stressed-out, in survival mode, and hopeless that life was ever going be different.
My world had been full of responsibility from a very young age and trying to take care of everything and everyone began to take its toll. I did my best to show you that I was managing it all just fine—life on this hamster wheel—just fine, thank you.
Burned out with health issues, relationships suffering, every day became one rolling stream of time that blended with the next day and the next. Mentally, I was in depression. Physically, I was pushing myself to look good on the outside; spiritually, I was dead inside. Dreams and goals? Who has time for that?
And, I was afraid. I knew I couldn’t keep this up much longer. I was 31 years old.
Finally, I reached out for help and began to learn how to TAKE BACK MY LIFE—an ever-evolving, fulfilling, exciting and deep inward, spiritual journey back to the life I was created for, a power-filled future.
During grad school, I discovered life coaching and how it was helping so many people to find quick, dramatic solutions to their living problems. I abandoned my plans to become a licensed therapist, finished a master’s degree, a coaching certification and began a new vocation of helping women to heal from the dis-ease of living stressed out, burned out.
Personally, I have faced many of life’s challenges—alcoholism—my own and others close to me – divorce, grief, financial catastrophe, and health issues. It was only when I asked for help from professionals, mentors, coaches, and spiritual guides that relief came as opportunities for healing.
I have come to a profound understanding that true freedom is based on a relationship with God—my Higher Power—and myself. My mission is to be a source for women in bondage from overwhelm, stress, and hopelessness to helping them to take back their life so they can be all they were created for.
When you become healed from life on a hamster wheel, you are energized to live life from your real self! And, you become an attractive, confident, authentic magnet to everyone around you; your family, your friends, co-workers and the world around you.
Here’s a video of my journey from the 24-hour woman to a woman who walks in grace and peace.
If you’ve decided to learn more about how you can TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE, let’s spend some time discussing where you want to go and how I can help you get there.
