POWER OF CONNECTION

Allow me to introduce myself—a culmination of fifty-seven years of life experiences, each moment shaping the person I AM today. Through valleys of darkness and atop the peaks of triumph, I have come to understand the intricate dance of light and shadow that weaves through our lives.

Life, as I have learned, is a journey of self-discovery—an ongoing exploration of who we are and who we aspire to be. It is about embracing change, confronting challenges, and finding peace amidst the chaos. And through it all, I have come to a place of true serenity—a place where I AM at peace with myself and the life I have crafted.

But this journey is not just about me—it is about you too. It is about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Because true connection is not just about sharing experiences; it is about creating a safe haven where you can explore the depths of your own being.

So, as you navigate these words and contemplate the journey ahead, know that you are not alone. Together, we will embark on a path of self-discovery, embracing each twist and turn with courage and curiosity.

Because ultimately, it is through connection that we find the greatest insights—not just into ourselves, but into the vast tapestry of humanity that surrounds us. And in this space of connection, you will find a friend, a guide, and a fellow traveler on the journey to self-awareness and peace.

BECOMING A COACH

I am a certified life coach. Receiving my certification in October 2017 from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA). I utilize a holistic approach that honors the mind, body, and soul as one.

My business experience spans more than forty years. I spent my twenties and early thirties utilizing my bachelors degree in accounting for a family-owned and operated construction company as their in-house accountant. Exhausted from that experience, I chose to move in a different direction, becoming an independent insurance agent in the supplemental insurance arena. The first six months felt foreign. A 180° turn in careers. I leaned into it and seventeen years later - I retired.

It took many months to determine what my next move would be. My friend expressed to me that she felt I would make a great life coach. I appreciated the comment but, at the time, actually thought to myself ...

What is a life coach and would I be great at it?

After a little research - I decided to give it a go.

I have utilized the past eight years* to glean a better understanding of MySelf. I have learned how to be a better person and coach. The pandemic provided me a period of time to lean into my ability to become still in order to create such a connection. Coming into a new understanding and knowing of MySelf and how I wish to walk through the rest of my life experience. (2017-2024*)

I feel confident, comfortable and truly honored to be a coach. I strive each day to be a better version of myself to improve my ability to do so.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to allow me to briefly introduce myself. If you have more time, continue below to discover more.

BUILDING BRIDGES FOR ONESELF

Building bridges for OneSelf begins with the cornerstone of trust. As your coach, I understand that fostering trust is paramount to our journey together. It is the sturdy foundation upon which we construct our path towards self-awareness and authenticity.

So, I invite you to settle in, to let go of any distractions, and to fully engage in this moment of connection. For it is in this space of comfort and trust that our work truly begins. When you feel at ease with me, you can more readily delve into the depths of your being, uncovering insights and truths that may have been obscured.

I lead by example, demonstrating the importance of trust and authenticity in our interactions. Just as I trust in the process of self-discovery, I ask you to trust in yourself—to embrace your journey with openness and courage.

Together, we will traverse the bridges of trust, forging connections that empower you to navigate the landscape of your inner world with clarity and purpose. As you deepen your understanding of YourSelf, you will find that you are not just crossing bridges—you are building them, piece by piece, towards a more authentic and fulfilling existence.
