I used to live in my story of hardship.
Coming from a dysfunctional upbringing (didn't we all?), I could easily recount the many ways that life doled out one hardship after another after another...
- Emotionally absent mother.
- Absent father (who betrayed the family by having his own secret family across town, for years!)
- My own fall into serious drugs and alcohol addiction.
- Debilitating panic attacks and OCD
behaviour
- Bad men (very bad...ugh!)
And then, the biggie...my son was diagnosed with a terminal and degenerative condition that has him now living from a wheelshair with 24 hour support....a hard STORY to live through.
Yes, it's been a tough road, BUT the turn in the road happened when my son was diagnosed. Until then, I just repeated mistake after mistake. I was living unconsciously, thinking that ;life was happening to me', and I didn't know how to stop the destructive
behaviour.
It had come to define me. It WAS me.
"That's just the way I am' was my mantra.
How stupid, really.
No awareness, no courage, no ability to be objective
with my life.
I was checked out. But I was to learn a different path very soon...
When my son's diagnosis happened 25 years ago, I fell hard. For years, I watched him get weaker every year...eventually losing the ability to walk, drive, wash himself or feed himself.
But it was in those dark years where I came to a point in the road where I realised there was a choice here...
I knew I couldn't cure my boy, but that was when I stepped out of my Dark night of the Soul, and did some honest, real, painful work.
And in my surrender, the Universe opened up to me in all its mystery
and grace.
Since that time, 29 years ago, I have been on this spiritual path, hungry for more understanding, more depth.
And 29 years ago was when my 'fitness' business changed...when I became really, really clear on how women got into a funk around their body, how emotional turmoil creates a chronic sympathetic state in the body with
toxic overload, cortisol surges, adrenal issue...
...how feeling stuck is it's own poision, and thinking 'if I just fix my body / lose weight / look good again, I'll be fine'.
I moved from just 'fitness and nutrition' and into the Inner Landscape, the heart and soul of women everywhere who want to build a great body, yes, but underneath it all,
they wonder if they're enough, if they matter, if they're living a full, rich life, and living on Purpose.
Us women are complicated, beautiful, courageous, instinctual creatures, all craving the same thing...to understand Self and others, to love Self, and to live in a body, that is healthy, strong, capable, for the rest of our years.
To be lean, strong, healthy, and sexy is our birthright.
To walk tall, to look and feel amazing, is our birthright.
To feel confident, and to walk with surety, is our birthright.
So yes, as a Transformation Coach, I start with the
physical body, getting the food strategy nailed down, fueling our metabolism and body with properly structured macros to support our 40+ bodies, and to move it in ways that make us energized, strong and proud.
But then...we go deeper, into our beliefs, our losses, our past, our future, our Purpose. We dare to ask 'Why am I here?"
THIS
is my jam. Because I had to do it too.
And I still do, every day, in a simple, back-to-basics lifestyle that feeds my body and soul well. And this is what I teach my clients.
Reading, journaling ,meditating, sipping wine by an open fire, doing mantra work, envisioning, conversing with angels and such...and feeding and moving my
ageing body with love and care.
It's not hard, this thing called ageing. But if you're stuck in mainstream nonsense, scrolling, comparing, fighting with your body and weight and food, trying over and over again...you're not living. You're surviving.
To live well is an artform. To age well is an
artform.
It's not hard. But it does require a shift in lifestyle and habits, and moving into a place of WANTING to live, look, and feel differently.
It's simply the only way to live, in my book.
No regrets. Living whole, healthy, alive and
joyful.
We'll just talk. And we'll unveil some thigns that you didn't even know where there. Promise. You'll
feel more clear, lighter and more hopeful after the call. My callers always do.
You'll gain more in one call than likely you have in years.
How do I know?
Because I know you.
I AM you.
With much love,
