Growth Takes Time
When I began to study Conscious Parenting, I didn’t have an intention of becoming a coach. I only set out to seek answers to my own emotions and pain.
Five years later, I became a Certified Coach from Dr. Shefali’s Coaching Institute.
The impact this work made on the way I now live my life inspired me to serve other moms so that they, too, could experience improved relationships and communication with this transformative approach.
But first and foremost, I’m a parent just like you, who has discovered that if we don’t understand ourselves, our children won’t be able to, either.
I’ve done an immense amount of self-study to understand who I am. I’ve developed a strong capacity to be curious about conflict and pain. And I’ve practiced a thought process that helps me apply inquiry and compassion in order to thrive amidst life’s challenges.
I’m so grateful for this.
I’m grateful for your trust in me to help you understand who you are.
Not many have the confidence and courage to invest in themselves. They’re unable to see it as the highest form of self-care, and it’s a shame. But I really acknowledge you for reading these posts and growing with me.
Change is hard. It’s hard because it requires moment-to-moment practice without any immediate reward. We overestimate the value of what we have, and underestimate the value of what we may be giving up.
It’s hard to measure change, especially behavioral change. As we shift our thought patterns, we may notice micro changes within ourselves, because we realize how much we’re leaning into experiences that we once found challenging.
In the beginning, it’s common for others not to notice these subtle changes within us. But that’s because ultimate change manifests when there is a great tipping point.
There will be days where you take 3 steps backwards before taking 2 more forward. This is the way of change. When you show up, consistently and completely detached from needing to control when you’ll improve, you’ll change.
When you practice change from moment to moment, hour to hour, day to day, week to week, month to month, one day you’ll wake up and people around you will realize you are a completely different human being.
The only thing driving that change was your will to experience life in a different way.
So support yourself with the change you desire for yourself. Whether it’s through coaching, doing a course, or engaging in a community of like-minded people, be a part of something that wants what you want. By doing so, you’re aligning yourself in order to realize your desire more efficiently.
If you have a natural yearning to dig deeper into your constant worry, guilt, anger, or shame so that you can let go of it, I’ve opened time and a space to offer you answers to your questions and to encourage coaching around them so that you can seek tools that support your desire to change.
