Life Experience
I have so many things to be grateful for. Everyday I am able to work towards my goals and purpose. I started to find my purpose when I was in college in San Francisco. I was overweight and struggling but something inside me woke up.
I have been through the ups and downs of life. During the difficult times I could hear the whispers of the voice becoming. A voice reminding me that my struggles, as well as my joys, would serve a greater purpose. This gave me strength to get through difficult times, broken bones, bullying, divorce and depression. Sometimes the hard times can teach you the most. My coaching practice allows me to stay connected to my heart. To be of service to others and help them continue to grow past their edges. To walk a path of fearlessness because failure is not an option when you are on the path towards self-discovery and self-improvement.
