Transformational Life Coach
Just over a year ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to help others while helping myself. One might think that sounds kind of selfish vs self-less, but I assure you that it was driven on a self-less motive. I had recently experienced a few health struggles and had finally gotten to a place where I felt I had finally overcome these struggles. I had wanted to find a way to continue to feel better myself and be a better mom to my kiddos and wife to my husband. I had spent three years just going through the motions, feeling sorry for myself and physically ill. I felt that it was time to finally take care of myself. What I didn’t expect was to have the opportunity to not only take care of myself but offer that same opportunity to others. What I have experienced over the past year is nothing short of a transformation. I learned that although I had overcome some health struggles, I still had a number of things to work on in order to be the best version of myself. I wanted to be the mom that was outside playing with my kids and not the mom begging the kids to take a nap. I wanted to be the mom that would play ball and not find a reason to just sit on the sidelines. I wanted to feel good enough to go out in public and not fear when my symptoms would flare up. I wanted to have some normalcy in my life again and not live by the restrictions of my physical health.
When I said, “Yes” to becoming a health coach, I had no idea the impact it was going to have. I did not have my own life in order at the time, but I was able to be coached on how to help others as I progressed in my own abilities. As I approach my one year anniversary as a health coach, I have come to see that this role focuses on more than just health, and because of that I feel that the title of a Transformational Life Coach is more appropriate. I have personally experienced not only improved health, but I have found a purpose. The joy that I have when I talk with my coaches and clients is nothing that I have ever experienced as a bedside nurse. It’s not rainbows and butterflies every day, but it comes pretty close. There isn’t much else in life that allows you to help people feel better emotionally and physically. A few clients have even decided to join with me as coaches to share the gift that we have been given. A gift that can offer some hope, health, and finances. Are you needing any of these in your life? Perhaps a TLC would be something to consider.
