"I have recommended life coaching to several of my friends who are going through transitions in their life. Without the exercises we went through, I would have not done this on my own. Goal setting was the most valuable part of coaching for me.

Your Story – Mystery or AdventureEvery experience in your life carries with it a story. I’ve met women whose stories read like mystery novels, with gnarled plots, unseen clues, and problems to solve.
“Why should I go to college at this age?” “Why can’t I stick to an exercise program?” “Why would he leave me now?”
Sprinkled among the Whys is What if.
“What if I took up classical piano and lost interest?” “What if I ask for a promotion and get turned down?” "What if my children think I'm a bad mother?"
Then there are women who live their lives as adventure stories. They regularly ask themselves, “Why not?”
“Why not learn to ride a motorcycle?” “Why not go all gray?” “Why not start a new relationship at my age?”
When you ask “Why not,” the next word out of your mouth will most likely be “When,” followed by “Yes!” After that, the joy flows easily and steadily. And the stress begins to ebb.
Are you already living your adventure story? Then carry on, and continue to enjoy it to the fullest.
But if you are still shrouded in mystery, covered with Why and What If, feeling a gap between where you are and where you want to be, it’s time to turn the page.
You can change all that. Like a snake shedding its skin or the larval stage of a butterfly, there may be some discomfort when shifting from where you are to where you would like to be. You won’t, however, be helped to blame other people or find excuses for not going after what you want. You don't want to go that route anyway. You will be fully supported as you take small steps or big leaps towards the next page or chapter of your story.
We will be successful working together if you are committed to making a change in your life. You’re tired of holding back. Your willingness to take a risk, to step beyond your comfort zone, and to express your authentic self will make it purposeful and fun for us to work together. You are poised and ready to stand strong, to be resilient, and to live with more zing and more joy! I am honored to partner with you on your journey towards change.
