I Never Thought I Would Be THAT Person

Hey You,

I know for a while now, you’ve been sitting back watching me talk coaching all over the place.

Reeling about it on Instagram.

Chatting about it on Stories.

Posting about it on Facebook.

And coffee-chatting about it in real life.

Honestly, I never thought I would be THAT person.

I used to be that person who casually strolled around these platforms giving out" likes", heart emojis, a few comments here and there, and every once in a while threw up a pic of my kids dancing in the rain drenched from head to toe with a caption: “Anyone feel like getting my kids some dry clothes?"

Why have I changed my ways? Let me share because this is very important.

The reason why I talk about coaching all day every day is because ever since I learned the art of coaching, I literally feel like I'm holding a cure in my hands, and it is my 200% obligation as a caring and compassionate person of this planet to tell everyone and anyone I know about it.

That is literally what coaching is for me.

What I discovered right after I certified as a coach, is that most people don’t even really know what a coach or coaching is.

“It’s like therapy, right?”

“I heard it’s a type of MLM? Is that true?”

“It’s a bunch of professionals who just didn’t want to get their PhD.”

These are literally some questions and comments I’ve gotten over the past few years.

SO, let's clear some things up here. Let me begin by telling you what coaching is NOT.

It is NOT a pyramid scheme.

It is NOT a bunch of people yelling at you to run harder and believe stronger.

It is NOT therapy with a much cooler name.

And it is NOT a bunch of cheerleaders who follow you around all day cheering you on. (But wouldn’t that be amazing?? I might just hire that service when I make it big .)

What it IS?

A group of courageous, fierce and human-loving individuals who have gone through intensive training, have mastered a skillset and are getting paid to help others use that skillset to shorten their timeline of achieving a goal and improving their life.

We are ALSO a group of people that get overly excited about talking about topics that are insanely embarrassing for other people such as: shame, inner growth, fear, anxiety, happiness and are corny as hell with our quotes and slogans :)

We are the first to sign up to any training, mastermind, or course just to get better at helping other humans hurt less and thrive more and are notorious for cursing a lot. (I blame Tony Robbins for that one)

I really believe that coaching is the best industry on the planet. It is the new black in the emotional wellness world in my very fashionable opinion.

When I was introduced to one of my very first mentors and coaches and found out she had a certification program, I knew I needed to become a coach and sign up for her certification.

When I found out her certification cost $21,000 (at least double most other certifications programs) my heart dropped into my stomach, and I literally felt like I had just lost everything that I was looking for my entire life.

I already had an undergraduate degree, a masters degree (MSW) as well as a doula certification; why the heck did I now need a $21,000 coaching certificate from her??

Well, what I realized is that I didn’t NEED it. I could have opened a coaching business without even getting certified.

But ya know what I did know. I WANTED it. I wanted her program, her coaching, her mentoring, and I was just going to figure out a way to make it happen.

And I did.

And you know what else I find out along the way?

That supporting my wants was just as important as supporting my needs.

Just deciding to put down $21,000 on myself and choosing the coach I wanted by my side was my very first powerful breakthrough I experienced entering my new coaching life. And it was just the start of many others to follow.

Listen, I knew that I would go on to be a passionate coach and open a business with or without her, but I also knew that she would be the best fit to help me get there so much faster, keep me committed and with the exact support that I needed to walk into my coaching business with confidence and clarity that would take me years to do on my own or even with a different coach.

And…I think the same is true for you.

You don’t need coaching. You’ll be 100% fine without ever sitting in a coaching session with me or any other coach for that matter.

Ya know why?

You are 100% worthy already. Whether or not you dig deeper and watch yourself expand while you walk towards the next version of you, or stretch your brain into creating a new way of thinking and living, you will still be the amazing, lovable person that you are today.

But..you might just WANT to be coached.

You might want to learn things about yourself that you simply can’t see on your own such as:

Hidden beliefs

Thoughts that have been running on autopilot in your mind your whole life.

Ways of feeling that have kept you whispering, hidden and small.

You might want to be challenged in a new kind of way with questions that ask you to leave your comfortable state of being and move into a state of becoming.

Becoming stronger.

Becoming braver.

Becoming less worried and more aligned.

Becoming less confused and more confident.

Becoming successful.

Becoming that future you that you’ve been dreaming up since you could dream.

So if you’re feeling that achy pull towards wanting some of these, any of these or all of these, I am here to help you figure out how you are going to make it happen.

How you are going to choose you this time no matter what.

Ya never know, this just might be your very first breakthrough waiting patiently for you to rip your life wide open.

I am seriously excited for you.

Loving YOU
