When my husband and I were blessed with our first child I instantly quit my career and became a stay at home, home-educating mother. Now that this season of my life is coming to an end, I was wondering what I should do? After several years of contemplating I realized that I should do what I have been doing all a long; mentoring and walking with other ladies through their life journey. Some school thought me worthy of a Doctorates Degree, and didn't know if I should work off the degree, or what? As I processed this, I decided that a Life Coach, Professional Coach and a Financial Coach was the best suited for me and my next season of my life.
