Changed careers and living more in alignment with her true self
“I’ve always known how important it is to listen to your inner voice, but after working with Michelle, I was able to let go of my six-year career as a Professional Organizer and went back to school for Massage Therapy. With a traveling husband, two kids and their busy lives, the scary tuition, and being a Girl Scout Troop Leader, I had to ask a lot of people for help—something I generally wasn’t great at. My ‘village’ came through big-time, and I graduated with a 4.0 and went on to become a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist.
Now I work at an organic, holistic wellness center that had never hired anyone directly out of massage school before. I am part of a community that honors wellness, healing, supporting each other, and allows me to be who I am. What a gift! I feel more like myself than I have in years, and I know that it’s a result of my work with Michelle.
Before coaching, I held myself to expectations that I would never hold a friend to (really, the laundry and dishes will wait). I’ve realized how important it is to carve out time for myself—without guilt—and by doing that, I’m being a friend to myself, setting more realistic goals, enjoying activities that bring me joy, and setting a better example for my daughters.
In many ways, I’ve gotten back to just being me. I’m better at letting other people own their ‘stuff’ and not trying to fix what I can’t fix. I have a deeper appreciation for how much energy it takes to be a mom and wife, and I have a better understating of my strengths and how to manage them so they don’t go into overdrive, resulting in frustration and unrealistic expectations.
Michelle’s coaching helped me change my course, and I can’t imagine where I’d be without her. THANK YOU, MICHELLE!”
