Proof You Can Create the Life You Want

In clarifying and empowering myself to live an experential life, I found myself on a path of becoming a life coach.

Most people have no idea what a life coach does, nor how coaching can help them.

The Coaching Process

To convey in the simplest of terms, I have looked to the expression: “Create the Life You Want to Live!“

• I emphasis, I guide, and I offer tools, practices, and exercises for clients to see and feel that their life can be what they choose to create.

“What you manifest is a reflection of what you are. What you are is a combination of your true self and stuff you have picked up on the way.”

• This coaching process starts from the premise that you deserve what you authentically desire to manifest.

A Co-Creative coaching Relationship

Now, looking at my personal life with my ready made family…

• for 4 years this ready made/patched together family went through many trials & tribulations.
• It has been a very bumpy road.
• 4 young people transitioning from childhood to adulthood,
• from living at home,
• to living on their own,
• from having parents who took care of everything (including finances) to having to do it on their own (again, even the finances).

There was resistance, blaming and frustration.  Even as we parents attempted to step into a partnership, we went through so many situations together and on our own that became overwhelming. Yet, we have each understood in our core that it is a daily process, and each step, each lesson, each day allows for a more expansive way to live.

Mixing my personal “ahh” of becoming a coach with the life lesson of being a parent to adult children the best mix of lessons came through.

Just as in my parenting life, I was co-creating a relationship with my partner, so too is the relationship between a coach and client co-creative, meaning that we are equals. I am not a therapist, counselor or consultant. I am a trained coach using honed communication skills to support my client as a thinking partner. Together we create more power to effect meaningful change and take dynamic actions towards their goals.

I have come to learn how, as a “parent” of adult children, to support these young people in a thinking partner role. To guide, to provide information, but not to impress my will upon them. Hard when you have been an instructional parent for 18 years, yet a more rewarding relationship for this group/family.

Yesterday, 3 of my children came to my home – to do homework, cook food to have ready for the entire week, network for jobs, identify new places to live, and being of support.  I also happen to receive photos from each of them with their mate/friend and as I sat with all of this before me, I immediately saw this collection of Beautiful Young People.

Creating the Life They Want to Live. My heart swelled with joy – that I am able to bear witness to these 4 as they walk their path, their way, to truly

Create a Life that Reflects their Dreams.
