I just finished 9 weeks of teaching kids and teens at a local school all about mindset coaching. They learned the basics of Cognitive Behavior Theory and how their thoughts lead to their feelings and that to their behaviors. They learned about negative thinking patterns and how to combat the self critic. They learned breathing techniques and stress management skills. They learned about self love, self worth, self care and self confidence. We prayed together to forgive ourselves and others and learned the mental health and spiritual sides of forgiveness. Each week I incorporated mindset work into each topic. Using information backed by scientific research and what we now know from neuroscience, they learned all about life coaching!

I am here to speak to your school, your youth group or your individual child or teen.

Soon after leaving her full time job to start her own business Aisha found herself pregnant.  She had no support by her boyfriend at the time who became increasingly negative and pressured her to have an abortion. She chose life and lost her boyfriend.  Soon she found out she was just having one baby, she was having twins.  Through her pastor and therapist she found the strength, confidence and ability to carry on as a single mom.  Scared, not knowing what the future would hold, she trusted God and asked daily for his strength.  Fast forward 7 years later where Aisha is thriving in her motherhood, her business and her life in general.  Now an author and speaker she shares with women in similar situations that God has a plan and that you don't have to choose an abortion.  Check out her book, Navigating the "Impossible" at: http://navigatingtheimpossiblebook.com/
