Over the last few years, I've needed to step back from my coaching practice several times to tend to some big stuff... including seeking support for my complex kiddos, navigating changes in my relationship, tending to some physical and mental health challenges, and writing a collaborative book.
Because there was a lot of Life to navigate, I took a break from working with clients this past year. However, I did give my business some attention: I updated my website and backend systems, and I partnered with several business coaches along the way to get clarity on my new direction.
During these twelve months, I've allowed myself more time and space to process my emotions as they come up, so I can release them, make sense of my experiences, and take action to give myself what I need.
As a result, I'm emerging from this period of healing and reflection with much more self-awareness, compassion, acceptance and trust... as well as a deeper understanding of, and awe for, the journey we're each on to create lives amidst the chaos that feel rich with joy and meaning.
It's gotten me all fired up about walking alongside other women and supporting them on their journey to reclaim and reimagine who they are, so they experience more joy, freedom and purpose in the life they have built.
A clearer purpose: Supporting women in reclaiming their spark
Let's face it: There is so much pressure on women to carry it all! And because of this, life can often feel unrelenting and tedious... like we're stuck running on a treadmill every day in our effort to tend to "all the things" our roles and responsibilities require of us.
But maybe, like me and so many women I speak to, you're longing for something different... something more?
Do you sometimes find it hard to remember who you are beyond "mom", "employee," "caregiver" or "household manager"?
Are you longing for more time to relax, have fun, or do things just for you?
Do you feel haunted by the fear that life is passing you by?
Are you exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone?
Here's the dilemma: You can't just drop your roles and responsibilities... but you're tired of putting your needs, desires and dreams on an indefinite hold!
Every day, women like you tell me they feel trapped between two impossible choices: either stay stuck in the exhausting cycle of meeting everyone else's needs, or completely upend their lives just so they have time and space to focus on them. Our culture reinforces this false dichotomy—you're either selflessly devoted to others or selfishly focused on yourself.
My work in this world is to guide women down a third path: One that lets you weave your needs, desires, creativity, and ambitions into the fabric of your existing life. One that transforms "someday" into "today" without requiring you to burn everything down and start over.
I am here to take a stand for honouring your needs, reclaiming your spark and creating space for what lights you up—without dropping your life's responsibilities or drowning in guilt!
I walk alongside you as both a way-shower and fellow traveller, illuminating the path just ahead, partnering with you to break down obstacles as they arise, offering compassion, grace, and encouragement to get you through fear and self-doubt, and celebrating who you are being and becoming as you take each courageous step forward.
