Deeeeeep breath.
You’re ready.
To stick your toe in the water. To make a change. To find your purpose. To chase your dream. To be who you really are. To create the life that you’ve always dreamed of living. For yourself. For your family. For the world.
But…
You’ve been here before. You’ve tried. You’re tired. You just start to get your head above the water, to get a taste of hope, a glimpse of possibility, a glimmer of delight. And then the waves come rolling in. But… What if…? Who I am to…?
Fear is normal. It protects us from the uncertainty of risk, it makes us feel safe.
It keeps us stuck in that same familiar spot, treading water, alone, waiting.
I see you.
You’re not alone. I’ve been there. [Truth be told, sometimes I go back there, just for a little visit.] I’ve dipped my toe in, and pulled it back out. I’ve ventured out to that place where the cold nips at your sensitive bits and you have to choose to be brave or turn back. I have jumped and had to trust that the water beneath would buoy my landing and not swallow me whole.
My journey has led me here to you, to help you navigate the waters, to transform your doubt into possibility. To become the person and live the life you’ve held deep inside yourself for so long. To find out…
What if it is everything I ever dreamed of? What if it’s more?

Choose to do more than just exist;
choose to live.
