I Came to This Work the Hard Way
I approached life with a blueprint of universal success — striving for a life that was supposed to look a certain way. And when it didn't, I wondered if I was doing enough, if I was enough.
Being directed by a design I did not create, I pushed when I should have rested and, as a result, was forced to rest when I needed to move. There was always more to do, no matter how much I had already done. And somehow, it always felt urgent.
I learned quickly that I could not sustain this. But knowing something wasn't working and actually changing it were two different things.
The changes did not happen until I started paying the price - exhaustion and disengagement.
My transformation involved a lot of reflection, reading, trial and error, therapy, and coaching. My learning journey continues, and over time, I've made it easier on myself by learning some principles that I now choose to live by.
What I’ve Come to Believe
We must act according to the season we are in knowing that we each have within us the capacity to move through whatever circumstances it brings.
We make things harder for ourselves when we don't pay attention to what life is asking of us and keep on following some predetermined path, resisting what is in front of us.
Living successfully requires engaging with the current circumstances of our life, not what we thought they might be and not what we wish they would be.
It means hearing our own voice and allowing that to inform our decisions, trusting that we can handle the discomfort of not knowing what others may think.
Your life is your own. We know this to be true, yet stress and overwhelm can be signs that we've given that ownership away.
We do get to choose.
Do we want to live our lives, or do we want to live what we think our lives should be?
I know this terrain from the inside.
I know what it is like to be capable and still question yourself. To keep doing more when what is really needed is something different. To have the knowledge, the experience, and the ability — and still feel disconnected from the person you know yourself to be.
And I know how much it matters to have someone in your corner who truly understands it.
That's why I choose to dedicate my life to this journey — for myself and for others.
Not to change who you are.
But to help you reconnect with the person you know yourself to be.
