Not everyone is ready to receive help. Help those you can and others leave them alone until they are ready. As a life coach, I help my clients heal from trauma, get rid of limiting beliefs, and go from victim to victorious so they can be the best versions of themselves. I cannot help everyone and I’m okay with that. My mission is to help those who are ready to move forward to the life they deserve!

I almost talked myself out of an opportunity. I committed to attending an event and immediately my thoughts went to my past failures. I was able to sit with my thoughts, create new ones, and ultimately be provided with another opportunity to show up. Push through your fears and show up!

In this episode I talk about the importance of self care and mental health. Do not allow your past to keep you hostage. A bright future is waiting for you.

In this episode I talk about a man who made a decision that changed his life! What decisions do you need to make? Be honest with yourself. You cannot get help if you don't ask for it.
