Away
I never really fit in. I spent most of my life wondering why I just didn’t seem to see the world the way everyone else did, and why my dreams were so much…. weirder. I always felt like an alien, trying to fit into a fairly conventional life while struggling to maintain the ‘weird’ parts of me that I had grown to love. It wasn’t easy, but it was possible.
I was successful. By my 30th birthday, I had accomplished everything I was expected to. I had a college degree, a solid 9-5 job and a nice condo with a very comfortable couch, a big TV and a really hot shower. So, why wasn’t I happy?
It was not an easy question to answer. It took an awakening, a very, very slow awakening, for me to realize that I had built my life around someone else’s dreams. I (eventually) left everything behind and created a life from the ground up. (It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done). I was able to travel the world, teach yoga and take a lot of lukewarm showers. I loved every minute.
To be happy, to be inspired, to be motivated, to grow, I had to venture off the beaten path and create a life that was really true to me. And I am still doing it. That’s the secret no one tells you, that once you start creating your life, you have to keep creating it every. single. day.
Coaching is a natural fit for me, as nothing brings me more joy than helping others create their own path towards the career, and life, of their dreams. As a yoga teacher I teach (and learn) about patience, compassion and the importance of staying in the present moment. Practicing yoga is just practicing how to live, so I bring the principals of yoga to coaching as well.
I look forward to accompanying you on your unconventional journey.
