About Me And My Journey
I am a certified Life, Wellness, and High Conflict Divorce Coach. I also know from personal experience that life doesn’t always happen the way we hoped it would. Not all marriages last and the ones that don’t are not always ending amicably. Many of the women I work with have been gaslit, abused, manipulated, or even slandered over the course of their marriage and/or divorce. Even still, many of them feel confused and paralyzed: afraid to stay in the relationship and afraid to go . . . afraid they won’t make it on their own.
I remember feeling that way when I was considering ending my marriage. But thankfully, I had mentors and a variety of resources to guide me in doing the personal work required to know what was the best foot forward for me and once I took that first courageous step, I learned that each one after felt easier. Don’t get me wrong . . . it wasn’t a walk in the park. It was a very vulnerable time for me. I was nervous with the stomach to match. Add to that sweaty palms, brain fog, and the desire to isolate myself. It was a total experience for me: body, mind, and soul. Your symptoms may or may not resemble this. In the end, it doesn’t matter. What matters is knowing that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Every strategy I learned and implemented during that time is here in my program. And I’m passing it on to you.
No matter where you are in your journey, it is my honour to meet you there and help you find the self you left behind and the dreams you’ve forgotten. And I’m pretty confident we’ll have some fun while we’re at it!
What I Did To My Dress
When my marriage ended, I needed a restart. I had lost perspective of who I used to be; who I thought I would become. I took the three R’s of the program and got to work. I needed to reveal who I once was, release the thoughts, attitudes, and habits that had negatively shaped my life. And then I got to reinvent myself as the person I was always meant to be. The dress I wore on my wedding day had been a painful reminder of all the ways my life didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped. Ball gown skirt, shawl I never wore, a veil heavily influenced by Princess Diana’s. There was a lot I didn’t love anymore. But I discovered a way of reclaiming the dress and my power. And as I worked, I wasn’t just reinventing the dress. I was reinventing myself. And that is what I want to offer to you – the ability to decide who you want to be and become her.
