We got to zoom it out with single dad of 2 boys and certified coach Jay Skibbens in November and we are SO GRATEFUL to have had him share his experience and story. He has been on QUITE a journey and conquered many fears and that now allows him to hold space for so many single parents and humans so that they may take their life back into their hands. Listen in as we discuss:
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How he helps parents "choose" their life as a single parent
His experience with telling his kids that they aren't biologically his
What's on the other side of fear
How money has always been a block up to this point
Pushing past the fear of investing in yourself and his journey with spending $12,000 in coaching and certification!
The importance of doing things for YOU versus other people or even your kids.
The journey it took to getting to where he is now
The importance of COMMITTING to yourself and how it removes the blinders you had on your life and opportunties
Understanding and being comfortable with making mistakes
the idea that 90 percent of what we are doing is going right, yet we get trapped in the 10% of what is going wrong or what might go wrong
a reminder to work with what you know.
How plenty of people will resonate with your experience.
His experience growing up as someone who is biracial, who lived in a single parent household within a religious community
How that experience forced him to push past fear of fitting in constantly
His advice to people and parents on how to take the leap to invest in yourself and know yourself
Always having a learners mindset and why
His coaching style
helping his kids in their fearTruly super insightful and helpful for parents and all humans. By sharing our stories, we have the ability to help one another do that "scary thing". This is how we change the world. Thank you Jay!
