Do you recognize yourself here?

• I have become my own worst critic. I have kind, encouraging words for everyone but myself.

• My confidence is not as strong as it once was and it’s keeping me safe but stuck in my comfort zone.

• I don’t know what matters to me anymore or what values I hold dear.

• I put up with too many things that steal my joy.

• I used to love my life, but I no longer do. It feels stale and no longer challenges me.

• Some days I look at my life and don’t know how I got here or where ‘here’ is. I’m just going through the motions, and I have no true purpose. What happened to all the dreams and plans I was once so passionate about?  My life is not what I imagined it would be.

• My responsibilities have changed, and I want to explore new possibilities.

• I’m letting life happen to me instead of creating my life.

• My giving nature has become an expectation, and I end up with more commitments than I can handle because I don’t want to disappoint anyone.

• How I approach my days/weeks no longer seems to be working. I’m craving different routines, but I don’t know where to start.

• I am in midlife now and I want a new experience of life. 

The above statements resonate so deeply with me. I am no stranger to being critical and unkind to myself, of getting so lost in the day-to-day that weeks pass without doing something good for myself, or being so out of touch with myself that I don’t know what I want from life or what matters to me.

While my journey with prioritizing my well-being started a long time ago and has been an on again off again kind of thing, arriving into midlife has brought it front and center in a bigger way.

• My night owl ways have gone by the wayside - quality and quantity sleep is imperative.

• My reason for resistance training is so I can clean house, walk my dogs, or walk to the KC Chiefs stadium from the parking lot without pain.

• What I once envisioned for my life after the kids left home no longer felt true, so I had to reflect deeply and be honest with myself about many things to create a new vision for myself.

I understand the need to bring yourself more to the forefront and the struggle to move from ‘the way you’ve always done it’ to a different approach that may make you feel discomfort at being stretched. AND, I know the reward of feeling the discomfort and staying consistent with the different approach to get the things in life that your heart desires.

In our work together, I will support you in whatever you determine needs the most loving attention.

Maybe what would serve you most is to

• discover what matters to you now

• develop supportive self-care practices/routines

• gain clarity around the vision you have for your life going forward

• look for the little joys in your day and/or add more little bits of joy to your day

• talk kinder and gentler to yourself

I would love to support you with any of these and more!

If you are DONE sacrificing your well-being and are ready to shake things up, I’m ready to support you!

I believe in you!
