Get off autopilot and live!
You are not broken. You are marvelous. The world needs you to be you.
Tell me if you’ve heard this one . . .
You’re running on autopilot, waiting for a break that isn’t coming, wondering if your best years are behind you. And you feel guilty for wanting more.
You are a compassionate, sensitive person who puts herself at the bottom of the list
You’ve got imposter syndrome in a big way - You wonder “how do I know I deserve my place at the table?”
What’s wrong with me?!
You’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with you, but something’s missing. Some of the tools you developed as a child don’t serve you as an adult.
You were told to be nice, to be good, to be perfect. You were told to be grateful, to wait your turn. You became your own worst critic.
It’s not too late to do something different. With a new set of tools, you can build a life that feels more like play than treading water.
If you don’t love the way you’re using this one precious life, let’s talk about living a life that brings excitement and joy.
Wait - I think I hear your critical voices popping up!
They say “Who are you to dream of more?” They may doubt whether you can actually change or whether you deserve the life you dream of.
Breathe. Turn down the volume on those thoughts for a minute. Those voices are liars.
Listen for that little hopeful voice that got excited imagining a life that is fun and true. That part of you knows how strong you are underneath, and suspects you are in fact amazing. That part that wants to live the juiciest, most vibrant life.
The part of you that is really alive.
Turn that volume up!
You deserve to thrive because you are an amazing human. You deserve to feel good, not just so you have more to give to others, but so you have more to give to you. You don’t earn your humanity through service to others. You deserve it all by yourself. Now live it.
“I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely, supportive coaching I received from you. I went from feeling really stuck and frustrated to feeling like I’m cooking with gas. ”
You can be your own worst enemy. You are the first to criticize your mistakes.
But you can also be your best ally. I’ll bet you would never talk to your best friend the way you talk to yourself. What if you extended some of that compassion to yourself?
I’m on your team
Sometimes you need an outside perspective to see the patterns and habits you’re just too immersed in to see clearly.
As your coach, I hold a compassionate and courageous space for you to explore different ways of being. I help you find the tools that work in your life now, so you feel like you’re living your life on purpose.
How does it work?
Coaching is about forward action. It’s interrupting the habits that aren’t working and finding new ways to operate that feel easier and fulfilling. It’s about getting you from where you are to where you want to be.
Coaching is a conversation that is both structured and flexible, giving you attention exactly where you need it. Where I like to start:
Quieting the crowd
First we separate your true inner voice from the chorus of critics. This true voice becomes your compass, always pointing you toward the things that make you more alive (and pushing the mute button on the critical voices).
Establishing what’s important
What’s non-negotiable to you? What do you want your life to be about? What do you need to let go of to get there? Let’s get you off autopilot and design a map to your big goals and important dreams.
Boundaries
Once we establish what we’re working toward, we’ll figure out how to protect your time, your energy, and your dreams. We’ll create natural boundaries around over-giving, self-criticism, and other people’s expectations.
What’s next?
If you're still reading, something is resonating with you. Here’s the details if you’re looking for more.
Free session - This is not a sales pitch. This is an actual session where we work through real issues you are stuck on, and see how our styles mesh. I will be holding a safe and confidential space just like all my sessions. If we are both excited about working together, we talk about moving forward.
Intake - This is where we lay the groundwork for our relationship. We lay out pressing concerns, talk about what sort of coaching will be most effective for you, and make our game plan.
The sessions! - Twice a month, we meet over Zoom (or phone if you’re all zoomed-out). Often, you will leave the session with “homework,” something you will do between sessions to move forward on your goals, or reflect and deepen your understanding. I am available by email for any questions or thoughts that come up later.
The commitment - I ask that you commit to three months to start. Coaching can make change quickly, but not overnight! Three months gives us time to go beneath the surface and get into the meat of things. Near the end of the three months we will have a check in. If you feel complete, we wrap up. If you want to continue, we lay new groundwork to reflect any new goals that have come up.
