Hello!
I lost my confidence my senior year of high school. In one single incident, my identity was crushed. I spent the next 17 years in a state of denial, overwhelm and exhaustion.
On the outside, I was successful. Living an envy worthy life. Working at some of the best companies in the world (DoubleClick, Google, Vitality), moving up in my career fast and making a great salary. I had my own apartment downtown Chicago, traveling the world and living the single life!
Sounds amazing, right?
Not for me.
I was out of alignment with who I am as a person.
My symptoms
- Working in an industry that made me feel dirty.
- Eating my emotions.
- Pushing amazing men out of my life.
- Back pain that would leave me on the floor crying.
- Loneliness.
- Depression.
The list goes on….
The years went by and I continued to ignore it.
I was getting more and more miserable and overwhelmed. I had lost myself.
It wasn’t until I found myself as the VP of Product Management and failing to get pregnant that I knew something had to change. I knew it was time to follow my heart and go after my dreams of being a life and leadership coach.
During one of the women groups at my company, the speaker we brought in kept mentioning her coach. I took it as a sign. A sign to follow my dream of coaching and leadership development.
And so, I started my journey to becoming a life and leadership coach and changed my life in the process.
I practiced what I call my clients to practice. Dive deep, lean in and practice.
People now comment on how much more relaxed I am and happy I look. I’ve found things that I had lost over the years. A renewed connection to the universe and spirit. A renewed appreciation and love of my body. And so much more!
