My Story
My mother always said that when I was in grade school that I was a leader and that everyone wanted to be my friend, I was so happy and outgoing everyone wanted to be around me. She told me that once I came home from school and said, "Mom, I just don't have enough hands for all my friends to hold". Somewhere along the way I lost that part of me. I began to believe that I was not worthy, that in order for someone to love me I must conform to their views and beliefs. It got to the point that when I spoke, I no longer could tell whether it was my voice or theirs. Eventually, I found that I had far too many hands and not enough friends to hold them.
I lost even more of myself when I became a wife and a mother. My identity was now someone's spouse or mother. One day my daughter said to me, "Mom, you're never happy anymore". Talk about a defining moment! I realized that everyday when I woke up the first thought that came into my mind was "is this all there is?" That is when I started to really take a look at my life and decided it was time to find out who Lisa was. I read tons of self-help books, watched many hours of Oprah and Dr. Phil trying to uncover who I was and where I wanted to go. By doing this I began to regain my self confidence and got reacquainted with me.
Life was good again, I was getting healthy both on an emotional level and a physical level. It turned out that the healthier I got the unhealthier my marriage became. About two years into my self discovery my marriage fell apart and my husband told me he was leaving. I am sure you can figure out what came next. Yes, I started questioning whether I was wrong to pursue this self growth. After all, if this was right for me why is my marriage and world falling apart?
The answer came to me when I attended the weekend workshop and met my life coach. Through the workshop and the coaching sessions I learned that when I take care of me and become healthy, then the old unhealthy things will fall away allowing room for the good to come in. That is exactly what happened. The unhealthy relationship that was my marriage was removed and I was able to design a life that is healthy and fulfilling for me. Thanks to the work with my life coach, I am able to move forward without regret or bitterness inhibiting my way. Let me do the same for you. Contact me for a free sample session today.
