Let me tell you a quick story about when I received a call from a psychiatrist. Behind the closed door of my office, no one knew that my new husband had entered a season of psychosis. My client was in the waiting room, ready to see her wise professional counselor. But I was falling apart as a wife.
I covered red splotches on my face with make-up to appear focused, wise, and professional.
But in reality, I was struggling with isolation and trauma.
As the days unfolded, I was getting more and more anxious and fearful.
The bottom fell out from under me. I faced the fear of becoming a widow or a twice divorced relationship therapist. I began to lose trust in myself and credibility with my family. I doubted the feasibility of my private practice and limited income and energy.
Which meant I couldn't take significant time away from my counseling office. Yet I needed to nurture my soul and get perspective. I worried about my dependency on private practice income alone.
As you can imagine, I was in bad shape and desperate. But I wasn't ready to give up on my dream of writing a book. Nor could I abandon this journey of living my authentic self.
Over time, I discovered the value of nurturing relationships with successful entrepreneurs. They helped me think outside my therapist mindset and self-limiting beliefs.
That's when things began to change!
I learned out how to:
- Write a compelling memoir that became top 10 finalist for Author Academy Awards
- Plan my next level of growth by participating in a master mind group
- Have courage to model transformation for my clients, readers, and audiences.
Because of my continued growth and participation in master mind groups, I learned to:
- Attract clients who already "know, like, and trust me."
- Make life-giving differences with readers and clients on the other side of the world.
- Experience transformation in my family relationships.
Now I'm living my dream of being on this journey of vibrant authenticity. I don't need to worry about isolation or imposter syndrome.
And that's why I'm so passionate about offering Professional Services. They include counseling, coaching, mastermind groups, and Keynote Presentations. And I love helping other leaders serve clients from a place of vibrant authenticity.
