MY JOURNEY: LOST TO LIFE COACH

Hi guys! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story of how I became an accredited Life Coach.

In my early 20’s, I was unsure of what I was doing with my life and had no real goals or intentions. I spent seven years working in the dental industry and knew that I wanted more but just didn’t know what. I spent years listening to podcasts, reading books and watching videos on self-development but was unsure how to take that first step.

Who did I want to be? I kept thinking “I’ll figure it out one day“, “I’ll know what to do when I’m older“,  “It’ll come to me eventually”, then when years passed and I still hadn’t progressed: still working in the same job, still doing the same things, that’s when I knew I needed to do something different.

At the same time as this I was also dealing with severe anxiety. I was unaware how much it was taking over my life. I would have frequent panic attacks and my chest would be so tight that at times it seemed hard to breathe. I had so much self-doubt and my limiting beliefs were ruling my life. There was always a little voice in my head saying I was never good enough.

The turning point was when my ‘stable job’ of 7 years became redundant. I wasn’t required anymore. I was terrified and it really exacerbated my feelings of not being enough. Deep down though I knew in my heart I’d wanted to leave for a while, but hadn’t done it because I hadn’t known what the next step was going to be.

I quickly found a new role as an Operations Manager in Healthcare (a big and scary leap for me at the time) and started to create action in my life so that I didn’t end up in the same rut again. I started studying again in Leadership, attended a number of self-development workshops, repeated affirmations to myself every single day and journalled out my irattional thoughts. It wasn’t easy, some days I would still get anxious about the unknown, the self-doubt and limiting beliefs would creep back in. What helped though was being aware. Starting to understand WHY I had self-doubt, WHAT my limiting beliefs were and HOW they were stopping me from moving forward with achieving my goals.

The pivotal moment though was when I invested in a Life Coach myself. I immersed myself in a 6-week programme to help find clarity around my own purpose. One of the questions that I struggled to answer was:

“What would you do for work if you took away all money aspects? What would your passion be?”

I explored various avenues to try and answer this, and each and every time I landed at the same conclusion… to help others go through the same journey I have gone through myself. I love talking to people about what they can do to improve themselves and achieve what they have always desired (and more!). I felt an excitement I’d never experienced before, “what if I could help others create a purpose for themselves? To help build the confidence they need to do anything they want?”.

I was hooked! My passion for coaching was born and I truly started to believe that anyone can do what they want to do in their lives.

I immediately enrolled onto a Certified Coach Training Course and am now a proud member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), which is the leading global organisation for the coaching profession.

I now wake up every day knowing I am supporting others to create a life that they love. Empowering people who might have lost their way creating their own path, supporting them to tackle limiting beliefs and building confidence within themselves.

This is what I was meant to do with my life and it fills me with joy!
