On this special day of graduation, I want you to think about the version of yourself who came to me a year ago, brave enough to raise her hand even when you were feeling uncertain about the road ahead.
?
I want you to take a moment and FEEL all the progress you've made since we started working together and visualize how the impact of that one decision will benefit you 1 year from now, 5 years from now, and even 10 years from now.
?
Think about the ripple effect of how one decision affects:
?
?? Your leadership capabilities
?? Your team
?? Your marriage
?? Your relationship with your kids
?
How by doing this work, you're now physically and mentally present for all the little things (i.e., consoling your son for his upcoming tooth surgery, holding space for the loss of a grandparent, speaking up for what you need).
?
You are forever changed because of that brave woman who raised her hand one year ago.
?
I want you to take a moment and thank the woman who raised her hand when work was really hard. Instead of just giving up on being a leader altogether, you decided, "I can figure this out".
?
I want you to appreciate and love the woman who raised her hand a year ago because she knew how much better her life could be, even if she didn't know how to get there.
?
Because it's not about quitting your job, even though you wanted to.
?
It's not about losing 20 lbs., even though you weren't feeling good in your skin.
?
It's not about any of that.
?
It's having a profound love for yourself and trusting that no matter what you want to do with your life, you can accomplish it:
?
One day, one step at a time.
?
I just wanna celebrate that woman a year ago because it can be scary to start a new journey.
?
I'm celebrating you because I know it takes like a lot of bravery, courage and vulnerability to ask for help.
?
And for all of that, I just want to say thank you.
?
Thank you for trusting me and my work.
?
Thank you for letting me in.
?
Thank you for raising your hand.
?
As you move forward on your journey, I'm excited to see all the future celebrations and all of the magic that you're gonna create.
?
A life that feels better, just because you took one action one year ago.
[And if you're reading this today thinking, "I want to feel like this", all it takes is one simple action: schedule a consultation call.????♀?]
?
Best,
Lauren
P.S. My coaching program Freedom is for the woman that wants the lasting effects of positive change.
?
Instead of 2 weeks, then falling off the wagon, you create a life where consistency feels good. Here's what my recent client Jackie (ESG Analyst) shared in a recent webinar. She shared,
?
"I'm 4 months in with my work with Lauren and consistency was the biggest thing I was worried about, and now, its truly not a worry for me anymore."
?
?
P.P.S While it may feel easier to keep your head down, living in "survival mode", you and I know it's actually harder. Way harder. More painful. Stressful. You have the chance to break this cycle, today. Click here to get started.
