Retired from her career and crafted a new dream
“When I found Michelle I was really in transition and longing to make some career moves. I was an elementary classroom teacher for 25 years and started to feel a calling to channel my creative energies in another direction. I loved nurturing children and families, but the outside pressures and ongoing struggles to feel competent and successful in the day-to-day teacher world were wearing me down!
I worked with a Coach at another threshold in my life and I knew I needed someone to guide me in my dream work. Finding LifeShine and Michelle was the first of many happy intentions and synchronicities! Michelle coached me along an important path of self-discovery to the place where I was ready to take my leap of faith. I found the confidence to retire from teaching and accept a new and exciting position – one that allows me to use my creativity, intellect, and experience all at once. I reimagined my life and feel so empowered!
I also learned how to prioritize fun and feel accomplished and energized when I experience it. I have learned how to set goals and take action steps all while balancing ‘being’ with all my ‘doing’! Most importantly, I have clear intentions and a creative vision that will keep me on track and encouraged as I continue following my heart toward beautiful and important work.
Throughout our coaching, Michelle was an excellent listener and helped shine a light on my strengths…as well as on those roadblocks that were getting in the way of my dream work. She presented well-timed action steps and goal-setting exercises at pivotal times in the process. Michelle also provided helpful resources and several opportunities to connect with other LifeShine clients in a casual setting – this was helpful in realizing there are many other women doing similar work and striving for big positive changes in their lives like me!”
