By way of life coaching I’ve learned that I was operating from a limited view of myself and others. I relied too heavily on my thinking and problem-solving skills. Basically, I was over thinking and analyzing everything. No wonder I was so exhausted!

I focused too much on others and did not take enough responsibility for my own inner well-being.  From experience and on-going life coach training, I have indeed found better ways.  I am freer, more my authentic self, easier to be around, and happier.  I’d be honored to work with you as you find your “better way.”
