"Struggle" to "Success" For
many of us there comes a point in our lives when we start to seek more
meaning for ourselves. We find that our traditional spiritual upbringing
no longer suits who we feel we are now. Or for those who have had no
specific spiritually based upbringing, there can become a desire to find
a spiritual home. As we journey onto a new spiritual path in search of
meaning, we often find that our relationships and careers become
outmoded. The questioning of everything we held to be true begins, and
the process can be quite unsettling as it threatens to bring about a
great deal of upheaval into our world and for those around us. We find
that friends we have known for years no longer suit our new reality as
they once had. Our closest relationships seem to suffer as well, as we
begin to question everything in our lives that we had once been so
certain of. The question then becomes, what do we discard and how do we
redesign our relationships in order to feel comfortable on this new
phase of our lives. As we take a step forward in the process of soul
growth, we may first find that our careers are no longer satisfying.
This process, though a bit unsettling at first, is just the first step
preparing us to redesign the rest of our lives. For many, this process
comes about in mid life. This is not because of a “crisis of lost
youth”, but rather a sense that our lives are shifting from one stage
of struggle, with “acquiring and finding our adult identity“, to
shifting to “inner expansion”. There are individuals who feel the
growing pains of the soul far before their mid life. Our human process
is unique to each of us and we find our growth and resulting struggles
in our own unique time. When dealing with these changes, it’s helpful to
be in consultation with someone who has had the same type of struggle
and has been able to succeed in overcoming it with success. They are an
example of how you can get to that same point of success in your own
life.
Why Use A Life Coach?
The
purpose of Life Coaching is to provide a person with a mentor who can
act as a sounding board for them as they travel along a new path. A
life coach has had experience and success within the area in which they
are coaching. They can both validate your struggles and give you the
assurance that you can overcome the obstacles and find yourself back on
the path that suits you, just as they have done. Life coaching is not
psychological counseling, nor is it designed to give a person a specific
course of action. When a person consults with a life coach, they have
in mind either a plan of action or the need for guidance with a plan
that they are formulating for themselves. It’s helpful when struggling
with a certain aspect of one’s life to have an impartial empathetic
person who can validate your struggles and share their experiences of
how they were able to get from “struggle to success”.
How I Can Help You
In
addition to my degree, training, my psychic and empathic talents, I
have been a spiritual seeker for as long as I can remember. I left my
traditional Catholic upbringing early in my adult life in search of a
more meaningful spiritual experience. As such, I have delved into
different forms of spirituality and am still carving out my own unique
spiritual path. As a result of my journey I have felt it necessary to
throw off ways of life that had previously defined me. In my tarot
reading practice I use the cards as a tool to help empower people
primarily in the area of relationship. It has not only been my spiritual
path that helps me to assist others in empowering their lives, it has
also been by my own experience in a 33 year old marriage and with two
soul mate relationships. Longevity of relationship is not enough in
itself , it is how you choose to redesign a relationship to suit who you
both have become, (thus far in your lives), that make it a “success”.
The process and the result of which is obviously unique to each and
every relationship. What works for one couple most assuredly won’t work
for another. Where it is obvious that good communication is necessary in
any relationship, it is equally as important to do a self examination
and find yourself. After all, it takes two imperfect beings to make a
good relationship.
