What is Life Coaching About, Anyway?

First, LIFE. 

I believe that life is work and play. It's your career and your family. Your goals & aspirations. It's the past, present, & future. It's the messy, challenging, tragic moments, and it's the amazing, joy-filled moments. 

Life coaching is not about finally tackling the elusive "work/life balance" into submission.

"Personal" & "professional" don't exist in a vacuum. Work is life, life is work. 

So many of us have a desperate. need. to control. everything. perfectly. so. I. can. finally. be. happy. 

Like the magazines. Like the movies. Like the influencers. 

Like I should be. 

NO. Stop it. 

Life doesn't work that way. 

Life is awesome and it sucks and no one is perfect. 

And happiness is a fleeting emotion, not a constant state of being, no matter what anyone tells you.

(Don't get me started on the impact of the cis-het-white-Christian-racist-capitalist-patriarchy....)

Life coaching is about understanding and activating our own human BE-ing-ness so that when we make decisions to DO something, they are made with compassion & intention, & in honor of our past, present, & future self. No matter the outcome, we have our own backs. We ignite & practice sustainable fulfillment in our collective human experience, here & now, in this one life we get.

Life coaching teaches us to simultaneously let go of control & perfection so we can be more in control of what we really want and need. It is not a magic cure for all your ailments. I will not give you the answers to your life. Only YOU are the expert of your life and only YOU know the answers. It does take work, effort, & courageous, compassionate ACTION to get what you want out of life.

Life coaching is about knowing & accepting that no one is perfect (phew, what a relief!!), & everybody (and every body) is innately worthy of love, respect, joy, rest, & peace. 

Yes, even YOU.

Together, we will co-create, witness & support you in finding & appreciating your unique & already loveable, perfectly imperfect human-ness, locate & activate where your power lies, rediscover your values, tackle big decisions, establish goals, & take massive action to achieve your most authentic & fullest potential.

I'm here to hold space for you in compassionate tough love. To acknowledge & honor your past self, reengage & encourage your current & most present self, & to applaud your future self in greatness, no matter how messy life gets. 

Get back to the you you've always wanted to be, in all areas of your LIFE.

I'm IN, are YOU? Let's GO.
