I believe every person is fundamentally perfect. Each of us possesses every skill and all the knowledge required to truly live our best life. I also know that we often do not acknowledge or believe this to be true.
I am particularly passionate about working with women transitioning through separation and divorce. This passion coupled with my own personal journey has led me to the field of Life Coaching, which I consider to be my life’s calling.
If you are reading this, you are likely experiencing one of the most difficult and confusing times in your life. I too have experienced the confusion, sadness, anger and isolation you may be feeling. I applaud you for your courage in reaching out for support.
The last few years of my marriage were a very confusing time for me. While in many ways I had enormous respect for the person and father my husband was, I did not feel supported and loved. My passion and excitiment for life was draining away. I was slowly dying inside.
When I finally admitted to myself that my marriage was over, I felt both relief and, to a much greater extent, heartache, uncertainty and fear.
I spent many months and sleepless nights worrying about the impact a separation/divorce would have on my children. I worried about how I would cope emotionally and financially. I wondered if I had the strength to make it on my own.
Through working with my own life coach it became clear to me that while I cared a great deal for my husband, I was no longer in love with him. I realized that I had been hiding who I really was and the real me was crying to be seen. It was not an overnight process but through very honest conversation and wonderful support I became clear on what I wanted and I knew it was time to take back my life, to lead instead of follow. With this new clarity, it was time to honor my heart.
Having made this enormous decision, my fears came flooding in. Not having yet talked to family or friends about my impending news, I found comfort, support and encouragement in talking with my coach. I wanted to make sure that I handled the next step of telling my husband and ultimatley our children with honor, integrity and respect. Though the ride was a little bumpy along the way, I am very proud of how I handled myself through this very difficult transition. It is my belief that what I learned about myself through working with my coach played a significant role in how I 'showed up' through this process.
While leaving my marriage was one of the most difficult decisions I have made in my life, it continues to be one of the most empowering. I have come to realize how much I value the power of personal choice, that I always have the ability to choose, at any moment, how I show up in life. I believe that peace, both world and internal peace, begin from exploring within myself, what is true for me individually and honoring this truth. I believe in freedom, the freedom to live authentically in a way that honors who I am and the world around me and finally, I believe in granting others this same freedom.
Having experienced this transition myself, it is my passion to support and empower other women transitioning through separation and divorce to honor who they are and come fully alive in the process.
