I’m really good at helping you make sense of your mental clutter.
I once received an email from a woman in her fifties. “I feel like a bird in a cage,” she shared. “Open the door,” I offered. “I can’t,” she replied, “it’s locked and I don’t have the key.” Her thoughts, feelings, and beliefs had constructed the “cage” she truly believed she couldn’t exit. Not only did she lack confidence, but she couldn’t figure out her next step. That’s where I began to help.
Experts assert that 99% of our daily choices are driven by our subconscious “story” about who we are, what we deserve, and what we can achieve. To create (and enjoy!) the life we want, it’s critical that we exam the thoughts, beliefs, and habits that become our reality.
Fortunately, humans are hardwired for resilience. Our brains have “plasticity,” which means we can expand our self-identity to push the bars of our “cages,” so they bend and break. We also can learn to sooth our nervous system, overpowering the fears stalling us from taking action.
Cages can feel “normal,” because we get used to them, but they’re never comfortable. At least not if we start listening to the inner nudges that freedom is somehow attainable. Again, that’s where I step in to help.
What's "Caging" You?
Shame? Regret over past mistakes? “Wasted” time? Old labels that have robbed you of self-worth or agency?
The good news: We’re only “caged” by what we choose to believe stops us. Change your beliefs and behavior, and your reality changes. We prove that the “impossible” is, actually, possible with our focused, courageous steps.
As your coach, I’ll serve as your sounding board, mirror, cheerleader, butt- kicker (gentle, I promise!), and your objective strategic thought partner. I don’t tell you what to do, but how what you want to do becomes possible.
Together we’ll cut through your mental clutter, so that what you perceived to be metal bars show themselves to be just cardboard.
My coaching style?
One client put it this way: “You’re direct … but like a mom with warm cookies and milk. With you I feel safe to explore, to then decide how to move forward. Thank you.”
