Know your values. Build your life around them.
I know that feeling.
The one that something is just off in your life. The feeling deep inside that tells you something is out of alignment. I loved the life I had created for myself, but I couldn’t shake my inner voice telling me that I was not living in authenticity in my work. I felt called to do something different, something more. I wanted to feel like I was truly using my gifts and expertise to make a real difference in the lives of others. My brain told me that I should be happy with what I already had, but I couldn’t ignore the feeling in my body that told me it was time to explore a new path. But my job gave me wonderful benefits: 14 paid weeks vacation a year, health insurance, a pension. How could I be so crazy as to leave that?! I had spent years in graduate school and taken on student loan debt to earn the degree I needed for this job. How could I change course now?
I already knew my answer, and I finally stopped fighting it:
Trying to silence my inner voice and ignore the misalignment I felt in my life was not something I was willing to do anymore. If I was someone who set intentions to fully live this one wild and precious life of mine, I could not make exceptions in any part of my life.
You can only take someone as far as you are willing to go yourself.
Investing in my own personal growth changed my life. It’s that simple. Through doing the work of shifting my mindset, I grew to a place where I was ready to take action in my life to create the result I wanted for myself: for every part of my life to be designed on purpose, for every part of my life to light me up and make my heart sing. True alignment. True authenticity. So that I don’t sit idly by, watching in passivity and anxiety while the full potential of my life passed me by. So that when I am old and gray, I don’t look back and regret not living every part of my life the way I wished I had.
Taking action changed my life.
When I let go of old patterns of thinking and fully embraced a new mindset, the world suddenly got so much bigger, full of possibility and opportunity. The stress and anxiety I had been feeling deep inside turned into passion and a whole new level of agency. I felt that something was off in my life, that I wasn’t living up to my fullest potential, and that I needed to change course. I listened to myself, took action, and have created a life where I feel true alignment and authenticity, true freedom and fulfillment, and endless possibility. My mission is to help you listen to the whisperings of your own inner voice so you can take action to create the life that you really want, a life that feels good and true down to your freaking bones. It is possible. You don’t have to sit in those uncomfortable stuck feelings one more day. Book a consultation and let’s get you moving!
