This Monday Morning

We spent the weekend up in the mountains to escape the oppressive Phoenix in August heat. A few years ago we purchased a small travel trailer and it has revolutionized how our family spends weekends and connects. In short - it was a game changer.


Usually on our weekends away, I am hyper-anxious to get home early on Sunday as my mental list of "get ready for the work week" is front and center in my head and I am less than patient as we pack up and hit the road.


This weekend was different.


In my 13+ year tenure as a mom thus far, I know I will always have a mental list. I love being a mom and for me the sense that I can take care of my family needs - physically, emotionally, mentally etc is a source of great pride for me.


What was different about this Sunday pack-up was the impending Monday wasn't scary. For the first time in my history as a mom, I HAD TIME.


You see, about six weeks ago, I concluded my full-time duties as president of a marketing agency. A company I had been with nearly a decade with people I admire professionally, and love like friends deeply.


But something had to change.


We took a leap of faith and with my husbands support and our kids understanding, I got time back in MY life.


For years I have dreamed of writing a book. A book about the journey of having a spouse who is very sick. A book about the unseen depth of emotions, the ignored physical sacrifices, and the depth of fear and faith that happens when you hear your spouse has a very serious medical diagnosis.


I've also had a tug on my heart for the past few years to try something new. When I picked my public relations major in college twenty something years ago, I literally sped read the communications majors and thought "PR sounds fun." Here we are two decades later, in my forties finally feeling like I know what I want to be when I grow up.


Through my journey of surviving my husbands cancer diagnosis, therapy helped me SO very much. It's helped me in times before and since with different life tragedies and struggles as well.


That tug on my heart for something new and the journey of processing my journey through his diagnosis led me to life coaching.


I am halfway through my credentialing program to be a life coach. As part of my certification, I am looking for active clients to further my practice and help me gain experience in the field.


The details include:

  • A weekly virtual call (Zoom) between myself and you for a total of 12 consecutive weeks.

  • It involves a time commitment of about 90 minutes a week, again all virtual. The weekly 90-minute is broken down to a 45-60 min live session between you and myself, as well as a follow-up 15-30 minutes providing a short written assessment of our session to my credentialing program.

  • Through the 12 weeks, we'll talk through challenges you may have in your way to living a more energy-filled life which includes both physical, mental, and emotional hurdles. You will have space to speak your mind and focus on YOU. We'll uncover strategies for reducing stress, getting time back into your life, and seeking out an overall healthier lifestyle.

Scheduling is flexible between you and me each week. I would be so honored if you were interested in being one of my first clients so that in 12-weeks you look back and say "yeah, I DO feel better."
