Why I Became a Coach

I have been creative and ambitious for as long as I can remember. As a young girl I had big dreams about the art I wanted to create, the businesses I wanted to start, the goals I wanted to achieve and the people I wanted to help. When I became an adult I had a rude awakening. I realized that these dreams would not fall into my lap no matter how hard I wished for them.

I just could grasp what steps I needed to take to make my dreams a reality. I was looking for quick results for things that I now know will take years to build. I was so frustrated and my solution was to work even harder. I had so much drive and began to direct it at any opportunity that was put in front of me. I worked so hard I was promoted several times in jobs that I was unhappy at, I traveled to places I didn’t want to go, I created things I didn’t want to create. I was so burnt out, I was so unclear and I was so unhappy.

Although I appeared to my friends and family as an accomplished, well traveled young womxn, I was miserable. I would make huge changes in my life hoping to find the answer to my dissatisfaction. I was looking for a “happy button”. I was working so hard for others, helping them build their empires and run their business that I was completely losing sight of my own dreams. I career-hopped often, I lost sight of my creativity, I tried to fit myself into a mold that was not me.

After years of being stressed, overworked, and not making my health a priority I was hospitalized for the first time in 2017. I developed a cyst in my throat, it was so painful that I didn’t speak or eat for days, this led me to a lonely and scary night in the ER. This was one of the lowest points in my life. Almost exactly a year later I was hospitalized again for the same thing. This time it required emergency throat surgery. I spent 4 days in the hospital. This was my wake up call. I needed to do something about my stress and my dissatisfaction with my life. I embraced my healing and self improvement journey.

In the midst of discovering how much mindfulness practices helped me tune out the world and gave me a moment of much needed self care, I also discovered Life Coaching videos on YouTube. I became obsessed with people giving me the answers to my life long question: how do I make my dreams come true? The answer was unanimous - one step at a time. I decided I NEEDED to become a coach. I needed to share this information that was changing my life. That moved me forward and towards MY dreams and away from doing work that I felt was meaningless.

I have completely transformed my life. I have transformed my lifestyle, my priorities, my health, my habits and my relationship to myself. I am watching my dreams come true every day. Not with the hustle culture mentality that was ingrained in me before, but with ease and flow. I make the art I want to make, I have my own business that makes me excited and grateful everyday, I have clear plans on how I am going to move closer to my goals daily. I am in love with my life in ways that I didn’t know were possible.

Being a Life + Health Coach is my life’s purpose in motion. I am so passionate and grateful to share these life changing tools and information with my clients now! I am watching them transform their lives and falling in love with the realest versions of themselves. For that, I am so grateful!
