Why work with me?
28 Mile Beach WalkAs a carefree teenager growing up in So Cal, I spent my weekends on the beaches with friends, I loved dancing, was the life of the party, and life was good. The lies about who I was and who I wasn't were but whispers.
Then life changed for me. The lies got louder, more convincing and I got sucked into a space that I would need to fight to regain myself. In that space I had little voice and few choices.
The breakthrough began with one simple thought-
Do I really deserve this guilt that is controlling me?
In asking that question I began to hear God. As I believed and acted on His "No", His voice got louder. I learned the importance of testing my thoughts and challenging them.
I know the lies. I know the devastating effect they have on our mental state, our life. The long-term consequences of believing them. I also know the freedom of living in the truth. Of not being afraid to consider if the guilt that I feel is real or not. I've learned that God is a safe place. That the truth is my friend and my compass.
Through bouts of illness when I was “grounded” to my house, missing out on time with friends and new experiences, I learned the lessens of stillness.
And I learned gratefulness. I realized I could either complain about my life and what I was missing or I could embrace my life. I found many things to be grateful for in the darkest , most trying days. And it freed me.
Life is challenging. For all of us. It’s part of being human. We choose how we will navigate those challenges. In that we choose the outcome it will have on us. Will we come out better -stronger, more confident in who we are and our capabilities or will we become bitter and angry? Will we be crushed by life or energized? Will we be angry with God or learn to trust His goodness when things are hard?
The outcome is determined every day in small and big ways that we choose how to think.
I bring to my coaching and speaking years of education and training. Not only in the area of coaching and speaking, but in psychology, mental health, neuroscience and the ancient wisdom in the Bible. I also bring the lessons of experience-the times I’ve fallen and picked myself up, the negative self-talk I had to overcome, the belittling and betrayal that I had to see for what it was. The ways that I have lived a false identity and forsaken it for the truth. The weight of false guilt and the gut wrenching feeling of thinking everything bad in my life was my fault. The relational pains and joys. The angst of risk and the defeat of failure. I have chosen both the destructive ways to see life and those that are empowering.
I love supporting clients in this work of real and deep transformation as they use the immense power they possess to take control of their thoughts. To take control of their life.
Are you ready for different? I would love to journey with you on that path.
