Today’s guest is an amazing woman who embraces diversity. Beverly Sartain was the first born American in her family and had two immigrant parents and English was their second language. Beverly has truly transcended her life. She has gone from her own recovery, to being a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor to being the President of the Holistic Coach Training Institute, where she trains aspiring coaches on coaching skills and business set-up.

The Holistic Coach Certification Program is an ICF ACSTH accredited program focusing on a holistic approach to coaching. Beverly has her PCC (Professional Certified Coach) from the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and enjoys helping professionals empower themselves around their skill set and online coaching business.

IT’S A JOURNEY NOT AN EVENT

Creating a healthy routine, being structured, and being consistent are key to having a healthy mind. Beverly suggests that you set yourself up for success by doing one thing in each of the four levels every single day. The four levels are: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual.

Keep it SIMPLE!

For example for the Mental level, do anything that supports you, your thought process and supports you mentally, like journaling affirmations or positive statements. Because Beverly didn't have those accessible inside herself, when she first started, she needed to hear other people's affirmations and words, so that she could start to feel into those words and receive those words. Then she was able to find her own words that she could say.

Another option is meditation, or just being able to be in the stillness of silence more. It’s not even that you have to meditate per se, but learning to be with your own thoughts and not attached to them as the truth. It’s a process.

Learn skills or learn the tools that work best for you. It is not a one for all method.

Bev is just like everybody else, she is on the same playing field as everyone, and states, “If I can do it, anyone can do it.” "Figure out what works best for you."

When people start a recovery healing journey, stuff comes up and is uncomfortable. It's going to be uncomfortable. But the point is to learn how to be with what's coming up. Have the learnings that are needed, and move through it. Getting to the other side of the learnings is where the magic happened for Bev. It's because she moved through all of the past stuff and learned what she needed to learn, and receive, so she could free up her mind and free up her body and free up her spirit.

Life happens and humanness happens, and people don't know how to navigate through those experiences and actually take the learnings and the soul lessons from the humanness in order to leverage their spiritual being. It’s a process Bev has gone through. She loves helping others learn how to use their mind, and consciousness to be of service; service to spirit, and create purposeful things for themselves and humanity.
