The past few months I have been sharing with you insights and tools to help you design a life of your choosing without really telling you anything about me and why you should believe what I say. So I thought today I would share with you my story. I remember very distinctly something my mother told me once - she said I came home from school one day and said, Mom, I just dont have enough hands for all my friends to hold. Somewhere along the way I lost that part of me. I began to believe that I was not good enough, that I had to conform to the views and beliefs of others so they would love me. Eventually, I had far too many hands and not enough friends to hold them.
I lost even more of myself when I became a wife and a mother. One day my daughter said to me, Mom, youre never happy anymore. Talk about a defining moment! I started to realize that everyday I woke up thinking is this all there is? That is when I started to take a look at my life and decided to find out who Lisa really was. So I started on my self discovery journey. I read tons of self-help books, watched many hours of Oprah and Dr. Phil trying to uncover who I was and where I wa5B4nted to go. By doing this I began to regain my self confidence and got reacquainted with me. I also started working on my physical self and began faithfully working out with The Firm.
Life was good again - I was getting healthy both on an emotional level and a physical level. It turned out that the healthier I got the unhealthier my marriage became. About two years into my self discovery my marriage fell apart and my husband told me he was leaving. I am sure you can figure out what came next. Yes, I started questioning whether I was wrong to pursue this self growth. After all, if this was right for me why is my marriage and world falling apart?
The answer came to me when I attended the Fearless Living Foundation Workshop and met my life coach. Through the workshop and the coaching sessions I learned that when I take care of me and become healthy, then the old unhealthy things will fall away allowing room for the good to come in. That is exactly what happened. The unhealthy relationship that was my marriage was removed and I was able to design a life that is healthy and fulfilling for me. Thanks to the work with my life coach, I was able to move forward without regret or bitterness inhibiting my way.
From this experience I was able to finally determine my life purpose. In the back of my mind I always knew that I wanted to help people and make a difference in their lives. When I experienced the magic of life coaching I5B4 knew that was it - that was how I was going to fulfill my dream. So I enrolled in the Coach Training Alliance coach certification program and became a coach. Now I am living the life that I love, working with amazing people like you who are dedicated to doing what it takes to live the life that you were meant to live.
