We’ve all had to make changes in our lives, some are forced on us and some we decide to change for ourselves. This week I talk about the science behind why change is so difficult to come by and it has a lot to do with the way we are wired as humans. Even when we know we MUST make a change we desperately cling to what is familiar because it’s what we know. And what we know and what is familiar is what brings us comfort and makes us feels safe...and we’re taught from an early age that safe is a good thing - the right thing - and although I agree with that from a physical state of being - from a growth and expansion state - safe keeps you stuck. Unable to make decisions that could make a great impact in your future because the new landscape is untraveled, unknown and risky. I know that world all too well. I stayed in relationships that I needed to walk away from, in jobs, friendships and mindsets that kept me from creating any lasting change. Ultimately I was forced to change because of my new surroundings- even though at the time I swore to myself this change was only temporary - only until I was home then I was going back to the same person. And well as we now know...that wasn’t possible. The old me was gone and a new me emerged. Changed forever. A change that required me to unravel myself down to my foundation and rebuild from a new perspective. Hope that after listening you’re able to take away with ways in which you can apply change into your own life as well. Thank you again for tuning in...see you in the episode 💗

I was asked recently in an interview what was the #1 lesson I learned during my time away...and I was honestly stumped. Not because I didn’t learn anything - obviously I learned a lot but how could I pick just one 🤔. The answer was that I couldn’t pick just one because their were so many takeaways and lessons from my experience. And as I gravitate thru life after my ordeal I go back to them often and as I sit here and type this out I’m remembering more lessons - maybe I need to do a top 20 🤷🏻‍♀️ ! On a serious note, I learned so much while I was away and so much of it has brought me clarity and a knowing of what I want to now do with my life. I hope that after listening to this episode you too can apply these life lessons to your life and see what you’re currently going thru from a different perspective. Can’t wait for you to tune in...💗

In this episode...I’m talking all about “how my life was flipped turned upside down...”🎶 (haha I might have borrowed that from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air - but I always laugh when I tell my story and I start with that...🤣). But yes I’m talking about the ultimate downfall of my relationship when I came home and how that changed the tide for me. I go into why I didn’t want to walk away and how I literally refused (like a spoiled child) to even talk about the issue of divorce (denial much 🤦🏻‍♀️) and how asking myself some pretty important questions led to yet another AHA moment in my life. Let’s talk about all the good, the bad and the uglies...and I mean ugly cries 😭...cause there were a lot of tears shed at this stage of my life 😬

This week I wanted to take a quick break with the story sharing part and touch on how we sometimes put limitations on ourselves based on others opinion of us. It’s hard not to take what some says about us to heart - especially when it may be something we’re thinking or wondering about too. When someone says out loud what you’re thinking - it all of a sudden validates it as true to and that’s an awful way to live our lives. I’m not immune to feeling doubt and shame for what happened - just because I’m now shouting my story from the mountain tops doesn’t mean that it was easy to not allow others peoples opinion define me and how I lived my life. Now, I care less of what others think of what me and do more of what feels good to me. Live for you...do you boo — let them do them 💗

This is a jammed packed episode about life in the slow lane (ie prison). Last week we ended with me shuffling up the fenced gates and this weeks episode is all about what it was like inside those wired fences. It’s a long one but honestly it could have been much longer - but there’s just not enough time to tell you everything. I touched on each of the facilities I was transferred to (there were a few 😬) and what it was like in each one. What my mindset was and how my relationships were holding up in each phase of my time away....and lastly what it was like to come home...and the huge barrier I faced the day after I came home. Thank you for listening - I’ll see you inside ❤️

We are diving in this week on what it was like leading up to when my world was shaken and turned upside down. I’m taking you with me as I recount the most trying times of my down fall and what it was like to come to the realization that my life was about to take a drastic turn for the worst. And that even in these moments - the universe showed up in the most peculiar way. Join me inside the episode!

This week I’m talking about how I began (and thus you Can too) to deal with all bullshit. It’s a nice saying to say when life gives you lemons - go out and make lemonade! Unfortunately my problems weren’t going to be easily solved by setting up a lemonade stand...between no job, no husband, no place to live, becoming a single mom and no money - I was up a creek without a paddle. It was time to dig deep - but before any Aha moments - I had to experience yet more setbacks. In this episode - I share: 1. How you too can start to change the tide 2. How you can begin to take control of your life (hint it has nothing to do with being controlling). See you inside...

I this episode I’m upfront and honest with you about the events that led to my rock bottom. Why I feel sharing my story is important even if it can bring forth judgement and some back-lash. I don’t sugar coat what happened and hopefully you walk away knowing why I’m passionate about what I do and why the “Bounce Back” is so near and dear to my heart. Let me know your thoughts on IG http://instagram.com/CatColeycoach or send me an email @[email protected] or you’re welcome to leave questions on this podcast! Thanks again for tuning in...Until next time...❤️

In this Episode I talk more candidly about my history and what led me to start this podcast and what qualifies me to talk about bouncing back like a badass. I share more with you about my failed relationships, failed career and my ultimate fall from grace. Which led me to decide to start my life coaching business and thus this podcast. Thanks for tuning in ❤️

In this episode I talk about why I started this episode, where the seed came from and why I believe it’s important to share your own personal stories, find your voice and stand in your truth. Our stories matter...not just some chosen few who are in the spot light. But yours and mine too. Our stories and our journeys are all different but running along them are common themes that we can all relate to. That is the basis of this podcast - it’s to share real and raw stories that all walks of people can relate to and hopefully be inspired from. Sharing our stories is essential to our growth and helps us evolve into a better version of ourselves.
