In October of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, I felt the first twinge that something was off. I had ended a 21 year relationship and moved into a new home one week before the pandemic hit, and I found myself alone, working unrealistic hours from home, Zoomed out and struggling to do my work. For the first time in my career, I felt uninspired. Being in a constant state of resistance was exhausting and was compounded by the challenges the pandemic and lockdown brought. Suddenly, I found myself without the passion for the work that I had always loved.
A year into working from home, having limited contact with friends and most of my family, I was feeling like so many others: isolated and alone but too stoic or stubborn to ask for help. What came next were some of the longest, loneliest days and nights I have ever experienced. I knew I wanted a new life, and I was prepared to make the sacrifices, but I didn't really know what I wanted that life to look like.
Fast forward to today and after making numerous changes both professionally and personally, I am the happiest and most content I have ever been. While I have certainly felt some sadness and regret in having to leave behind some people, places, and things, I now have a more balanced and enjoyable life. I have met new people, forged new friendships, made career changes, and have revived my creative side.
I have discovered that when you have the courage to be your authentic self, listen to that inner voice and focus on the things that spark your passion, endless possibilities and opportunities are created.
I have taken my experience and developed a coaching program that can help you discover your authentic self and create the life you desire, filled with joy, passion and endless possibilities!
