Your Calling Might Not Be Your Strength... Yet
I started my coaching journey as a nutritionist, helping people lose weight.
I chose it because I was passionate about wellness and knowledgeable about the subject.
I was happy to be doing something successfully outside of the financial industry, and yet, I quickly found myself burnout and unfulfilled.
I couldn’t figure out what was going on...
Until one day, a client I had put a ton of effort into suddenly quit. She did it abruptly and negatively, and my blood boiled as I listened to her message.
Interestingly, I had foreseen her quitting long before she started the program. I even warned her of things that would happen, but she fell for them anyway.
Anyway, I was pissed.
And then, as I drove into the night, a realization hit me like a ton of bricks: I fu*%ing hated what I was doing!...
Just like that.
I don’t know if I felt more surprised or delighted, because a weight was lifted off my shoulders and tears started flowing as I continued to drive.
I realized I had chosen nutrition because I was good at it already, and it was the easiest path...
Little did I know the easiest path could quickly turn into the toughest.
My real path -the challenging one- was working with people’s minds -not their bodies. But it was scary because it demanded I push beyond my comfort zone at every level.
Except I was more than ready -I had been for years.
Thankfully, I ended up choosing that path anyway, and here I am.
I can say, without exaggeration, that I grow every day I act toward my big goal. Every time someone leaves better than how they arrived I am fulfilled; and instead of burnout, I feel energized after each call.
This. Is. Living. For me, this is my path.

So, why am I sharing this with you?
Because I see lots of people who think they’re enslaved to their profession only because it pays them well or they’re good at what they do.
If you’re one of those people -as I was- I’m here to remind you this is not a dress rehearsal; this is your LIFE.
And this isn’t a call to quit your job; this is a call to find what moves your Soul deeply and do THAT -perhaps in addition to your profession.
As much as some might deny it, we are spiritual beings.
There are inexplicably simple, subtle things that leave us refreshed and feeling deeply alive.
Also, it doesn't have to be professionally; it could be taking walks in Nature, trying out stand-up comedy, or spending more time holding your child’s hand.
This is also a call to do the challenging things. The ones you can’t stop thinking about. And to be willing to suck at the beginning, be messy, be rejected, or make mistakes with it.
This is a call to LIVE life fully, in all its messy glory. And I feel the urge to remind you because I need to be reminded each day myself.
Have a blessed day.
