Self-help, personal development…I used to think it was only for ‘those people.’ Only for those that really needed the help. Boy was I wrong! It sure did take me a long time to figure it out though.
What got me to start digging deeper was the feelings of doubt, the feeling that there must be more to life. The feeling of ‘is this really all there is’ and knowing that it was far from the truth. I didn’t want to settle for being any less than I was capable of.
I kept trying to fit into the mold, the path that everyone told me I should be on. I have multiple degrees and have tried so many different avenues to succeed, but one thing that always held me back was myself. I had to get over myself and personal development (pd) has really helped me do that.
PD helps remove self doubt, unlock your confidence and ignite the spark that’s been buried deep inside of you. Only you have the power to stop doubting yourself, kick out the excuses and step into who you were meant to be.
PD is a big help! Also, surrounding yourself with others on the same mission. Others that are also refusing to settle for less, that don’t want to accept mediocre, and are growing personally as well. When you all ban together and are all growing and learning, you push each other & achieve more than you ever dreamed you were capable of.
Empowered people empower people!
So grateful for my coaching community and those I’ve surrounded myself with!

Any you’ve read lately? I need new material, getting to the end of a few that I hadn’t quite finished and on the lookout for what’s next.
Peace, love and hugs! xx
