I received my Bachelor of Art degree from the University of Missouri: Kansas City and received my certification as a Life Coach at the World Coach Institute. Currently I am living in the city of my dreams, New York, NY! I love the hustle and the bustle of this town; however, I quickly realized this is a very competitive place! To succeed in this glorious city you must have CONFIDENCE! I’m talking about the self-esteem that transcends a new wardrobe, high paying job, and snazzy apartment. Think about it, how many people have you known that appear to have it all but remain unhappy? Just as the old saying goes, “Happiness comes from within.” It is the key to everything.
The more time I began to carve out for myself self-improvement I noticed a shift in everything. My relationship with myself took a turn for the better. I love the change that has come about my life the last few years and the transformation coaching has made in my life. I live a more confident, passionate, happy life though my own “re-wiring.” Now I live to co-create authentic self-confidence and true self-love in each of my clients. Happiness really is found from within and more than ever, I firmly believe that in order to really love someone, you must first know what it is to love yourself.
Before pursuing my Advanced Life Coach Certification I worked in Marketing and Graphic Design. I’ve always been a creative person, using art making as a way to cope with life’s problems as a child. I quickly got interested in photography at age ten, when I received my first camera. Though drawing and photography I could somehow transform my imagination into reality. As time went by and I got older my focus shifted to making money—art could wait. After all, I had to pull myself up from poverty and into a new life. So I worked hard and chased happiness with no clue that it was always within me. Looking back I realize I was insecure, stressed, over worked, and wasn’t caring for myself. This really had little to do with my career choice but more of my mental state and previous thought patterns that were working against me. Proving to me that it’s not what you do, but how you do it.
Where did these negative thought patterns and low self-esteem come from? I could give you the long story in which I describe how my father abandoned my mother and I, the loss of many family members, the teasing I endured for not being pretty enough, or looking “too different,” however what I would really love to share with you is the gratitude I have for having lived through it all. I now look back at my past through a different lens, one that shows me that everything I went through was for a reason and that it all contributed to making me the compassionate, beautiful, and caring person I am today. I now realize the qualities that make me different deserve to be celebrated, just as they are for you. Let me help you realize this for yourself. You can change that hard judgmental voice inside to one that is kinder more supportive and full of encouragement. This is just another reason I am so pleased to be a Life Coach. I love inspiring and empowering people around me. It was only a matter of time that my path would lead to this.
