Me.
I always knew I wanted to help people and be a positive influence, I just never knew how I wanted to do it. I’ve finally found a way: by sharing my knowledge and passion of health and wellness and by coaching people to achieve their ultimate dreams. We all have the ability and capacity to do what we want in life and I am blessed to be able to show people how while living out my dream.
Some people know exactly what they want to be when they grow up, what they’re destined to be. They are carrying on the family tradition of being a doctor, lawyer, ____fill in the blank. They looked through a telescope and knew they wanted to be an astronomer or they were outside during every storm while the wind, lightening and hail threatened them and they knew they wanted to be a meteorologist. Lucky, lucky them.
I graduated college with a degree in Human Services. I wanted to save the world. After 4 years working in a school as a teacher’s assistant in a specialized classroom for emotionally disturbed children (and still making just above minimum wage), I knew I needed to make more money for my family. During those 4 years, I had gotten married and had my first child. Bettering my own family became a bit more important than what I was doing.
I like to say I scratched and clawed my way to where I am, but honestly when I look back, I realize I just worked really hard and had the support of my family to allow me grow in my career. For the past 8 years I have been working as a development director for a major non profit organization dedicated to the health and wellness of all Americans. It was 8 years ago when I started to realize my passion. Every position I have held from my fresh out of college position to my current position today has been a building block to launching my own health coaching business. I can honestly say that I have found my calling.
I will expand on my upbringing, challenges and successes in upcoming writings, but for now I just thank you for reading and encourage you to follow me as I continue my journey of helping others to e the healthiest and happiest they can be.
Be healthy. Be well.
