lessons from a life coach

You’ve been searching for purpose for a long time. You’re feeling pulled to do more, but you don’t know what “more” is.

There is a common misconception that life coaching is all about helping people create a positive mindset. Yes, a large portion of what we do in life coaching involves mindset work, but we are not pushing positive thoughts only.

Over the past year, along with growing my business, I also set a personal goal to get back to my pre-baby weight. I decided I was ready to get off this lose, gain, lose, gain rollercoaster for good.

As moms in modern day, can we really have it all? This is such a polarizing question in the online mom community. I believe the answer is yes, but I also think we are asking the wrong question.

Becoming a mom is one of the most amazing experiences in life, but it is also one of the most challenging. It’s one of those things where intellectually you understand how difficult it will be, but you don’t truly get it until you’re wiping poop off the wall at 3 a.m. while holding a baby that hasn’t stopped screaming in three hours.

I’ve noticed that many people around me don’t bother to set New Year’s resolutions anymore. It’s not surprising given that roughly 92% of people who set resolutions never achieve them.

I love Christmas. It is by far my favorite holiday, but the stress of the season can sometimes sneak up on me. This year was no exception.

I decided early on that I would not settle for cushy. I wanted passion, purpose and meaning. The problem was, I did not identify myself as a passionate person.

The best gift I can give you is to tell you that nothing is wrong with you. The identity of brokenness you have created for yourself is just a collection of beliefs that have formed over time.

The idea of consciously wanting what you have was completely foreign to me, but once I tried it, I was hooked. This practice is both profound and empowering. I like to think of it as taking gratitude to the next level.
