THIS STUFF SAVES LIVES !! IT SAVED MINE

I’ve got crap going on in my life.
This thing that’s going on, it’s emotional - sucking my energy, diverting my focus, & is a big fat dampener just at the minute.
The upshot may be that I have to pay a sum of money in potentially the six figure range.
I am 64 years old.? An age at which people are retiring, leaving the workforce as ostensibly too old, too redundant, too slow to learn & adapt.
Their earning days are more or less over, or so they believe.
When your model of life is go to school – earn – get married – buy a house – have kids – put money into super – retire, when you have no other strategies & not enough time to recover, then losing 6 figures of wealth could be a blow you could have trouble recovering from.? It could be devastating.
And 2 years ago, that was me too.
If this situation I'm facing now had happened to me just 2 years ago, I would have been so frightened, devastated, crushed.? I wouldn’t have known how to cope.? I wouldn’t have had the strength, fortitude or mental resources to deal with it, other than denial, numbing the pain, & needing to be rescued.
But now !? Such a difference !
THIS me, just 2 years later – she HAS that strength, internal resources, strategies to recover & bounce back strongly
THIS me, she KNOWS where she’s going, why she’s here, what she’s passionate about
THIS me, even in the crap, sees endless possibilities & opportunities.?
And I am so proud of that, of this new me.
So what changed that took me from a sense of failure, of being stuck, out of options & ideas, to this me who has such power, self-belief, control over her life & destiny ?
I learnt & applied things that I coach others in now.
It was an inside job.
I knew there was more for me, but I didn’t know how, I couldn’t see the path.
I had to let go of stories that were no longer true, of a world view that didn’t serve, of old beliefs that I’d picked up through my life.
I started to find success where before I found failure
I stopped forcing & doing & started being & trusting.

I let go of attachment to outcomes & timeframes & let life unfold
I couldn’t see what I couldn’t see.
I needed help, so I reached out, & found someone to help me, to coach me, and this is what I now am privileged to bring to others, safely, & with understanding too because I’ve been there.? I know what it takes.
I am 64, reborn, renewed.? I have transitioned more than once & re-created a whole new identity.
What I have learned over the past 2 years, has quite literally saved my life.
Life is for living.? With joy – not crushed by the daily grind & obligations & what’s the point of it all.
If this resonates at all, if you want more, think there’s more in you, & you’d like someone in your back pocket too, just DM me.?
At in the end, we will all be winners.? Not because of what’s in our bank accounts, but because of the daily choices we make, our attitudes, & the way we show up every day, in here & out there.?

Absolutely, the value of guidance is immeasurable ??! As Socrates wisely hinted - the key to wisdom is knowing oneself. Coaching unlocks that door. Let's keep growing together! ?? #GrowthMindset
