I have just got off the phone with my coach. It was a checkpoint call so we spent some time reflecting on the last 3 months that I have worked with her and what has changed in that time.
But it got me thinking even bigger - what has happened in the last year, 2 years, 5 years....
And I just want to say how proud I am of the journey and what a damn beautiful journey it is.
Five years ago I was in the midst of getting separated and divorced. 40 and a failure was what I felt.... And a whole lot more, but that's not the point of this post!
On then off a cocktail of anti-depressants
♂️NEEDING a man to feel complete/loveable/enough etc. to making empowered decisions in ALL areas of my life
Lost then found (I don't really believe we are ever lost, but that's what it felt like...)
Literally hundreds of IRL new friends (even if I still have yet to meet some IRL but the fact we are scattered to the 4 corners of the globe...)
Pretty much minimum wage job (because I thought I was unworthy of a proper salary for the job I was doing) to my own consultancy and coaching business
I can't begin to tell you how many people have contacted me since I launched my podcast saying some version of:
"I'm so proud of you. You've come so far. I remember you when....."
And the truth is, I'm no different to you. Yes I'm committed to a personal development journey, but it's available to anyone who wants it.
And this quote is the crux of it ... I've unbecome so many things so that I can become a version of myself that makes me happy, peaceful, calm, self-assured, confident, committed, loving beyond measure every single day.
Someone I can finally converse with in the mirror and feel happy to look at and love.
Holy crap - if someone had told me this is what the journey would be like, I'd have started 30 years ago. But I'm grateful I started and I can promise you, there's no stopping me now!!
