Helping People Realize Their Value is My Passion
Like so many of you, my life has been a series of experiences leading me to my passion and purpose - leading others to discover their worth, value, purpose and meaning through coaching, speaking and teaching what I most needed to learn.
We all need to feel valued. To have our lives be important.
I seemed to sense that even as a child. I remember being about 7 or 8 when my mom gave me a dime for the ice cream truck. I ran to the delightful music, anticipating my cool summer treat when another girl about my age caught my attention. She was barefoot with messy hair and, stood at a distance, watching the other kids at the ice cream truck. I stopped and glanced at the dime in my hand before offering it to her. She looked at the dime briefly, then into my eyes and with a smile took it and ran to the truck without looking back. Something in me understood - even at that age - that it was more than just ice cream that she craved. She needed to feel that she mattered. Little did I know then that I, too, would be that little girl, waiting to discover her own value.
There’s nothing more earth shattering and random as your parents dying at a young age.
I was lost, traumatized, isolated and lonely at a deep level. In a span of 3 years I lost both my parents. Although I had relatives, at seventeen, I found myself on my own and struggling to survive. I questioned everything. What’s my purpose? Why am I here? Why am I even alive? Is there meaning or is life just random? I became angry and judgmental toward others, the world and myself.
We all face things in our life that cause us to lose our way.
Maybe you've been in my shoes or struggled in a different way, but when you face adversity you sometimes trust the wrong people and look to others to tell you who you are. Or, perhaps life just wears away at you and you wake up one day wondering about your identity or why you're here. Fear, judgment and exhaustion take the place of hope and joy; you long for a different time.
Your Personal Value begins with self-confidence.
I started finding value slowly - going back to high school, landing a dream job as a flight attendant, discovering college and eventually taking a chance on starting my own coffee shop. What I learned along the path is that self-confidence is not external. And when you finally get that confidence, everything in your life suddenly becomes clear.
For me, my clarity led to several certifications as a life coach after I sold my coffee shop. My former customers would invite me for coffee so we could talk. I soon realized all those years behind the counter I had been a supportive, loving and encouraging vessel who’d helped others reach their goals and build the lives of their dreams. As a result of those true life experiences, combined with my coaching education, I’m able to guide my clients to overcome their core issues, develop personal action plans and help them to move effectively toward achieving their goals. These are the same useful, real-world tools I’ve used to become the woman I was always meant to be. Today, that woman owns her self-confidence. And, guess what? It was inside me the whole time! I just needed to learn how to access it, accept it and embrace it.
