How did I get here?

I was tired of feeling like shit.  Literally, on the outside, I looked good and healthy.  I was excelling professionally but on the inside, I was my own worst enemy.  Essentially, I was mentally punching myself in the face for EVERYTHING.  I felt insecure, didn’t believe in myself, had broken relationship after broken relationship, buffered with alcohol, and wondered why I had so much childhood trauma compared to anyone else.

Relationships were always a source of suffering along my journey.

No one ever told me that the stories I was telling myself were making me sick.  That I get to choose to be a victim or a hero.  So, I was literally skipping around in life with invisible suitcases filled with all the things that didn’t work and all the mistakes I had made like it was yesterday’s news.  No wonder on a personal level I was just surviving and not thriving.

What happened is I found myself at a crossroads and I needed help.

I wanted something radically different from traditional therapy that focuses on the past. I already did that a few times.  I wanted a way to move forward and get over myself.  I was done with the self-abuse.  I ended up stumbling upon “The Life Coach School” podcast and the rest is history.  Everything that I learned resonated with me on the deepest level.  I did not feel so alone anymore.  I learned that my experience was actually normal and part of the growing process of life.  

I started going to the gym of psychological well-being, emotional well-being, and spiritual practice.
