All About Me

In 2017, I found myself asking for a divorce. I never dreamt I would say those words! 

I felt as if I was encased in a cyclone of feelings and emotions. My marriage was a failure, I felt shame and unworthy of love. How was I going to get through this? How am I going to go on with my life shattered in pieces. 

Being born in the early 70’s has given me a unique perspective. I was around to see and live old school ways. Being raised with the morals and values that my elders instilled in me, and the ability to use common sense throughout my life.  I was raised seeing strong women in my life, and the freedom to discover my unique path.

As a child I felt a great loss at the early age of 5, when my grandfather passed. It had a large effect on how I viewed life. I wanted to live with no regrets. Soon I was in high school pondering the life ahead of me. I would travel Europe with my friend and see the world before I made any large life decisions. So that was my introduction to the “real world out there”, and oh boy did I learn fast.

I worked in the computer industry, then followed by the robotics industry and was burning out fast. I had found my love and soon became a stay at home mom of 2 children. I had felt that I had found my life purpose in being a mother. I became a Sparks,Brownie and Girl Guide leader. I was a reading coach helping children learn to read. I was wrapped up in the world of speed skating with my family to encourage my son to follow his dream. 

So the day I found out the truth, I asked for a divorce and felt my world crumble. 

I was at a loss. Where could I find help for this? What are the questions I need to ask, Do I really need medication to help?  It was not long after that I realized my options. Family Dr, psychology, psychiatry, all offered prescriptions. What they don’t do is help you put your pieces back together in an self empowering way.  I had to think outside of the box, and found myself a mentor, Ryan Micheals. I found that working with my mentor was just what I needed. During that journey, I was introduced to Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty. This was my awakening. Between my mentor and the book, I had discovered a passion that I really had been living this entire time. I had navigated myself through my divorce, Now I can turn and outstretch my hand to help others through. I had found the Jay Shetty coaching school from following Jay Shetty. That was perfect! I could learn from the best, include my own experiences in life and divorce to help others. This is what I am meant to do, to be. To assist others to get past it and get clear on what you want out of the rest of your life. That is where the adventure really begins.
