Wendy's special guest this week is Kathleen Young, Founder and Coach at Aurora Lights Coaching.

Kathleen Young, M.Ed. is a passionate and highly effective personal development coach who supports individuals and groups. She believes in intentionally strong and consistent commitment to wellness, purpose and happiness. She is a true advocate of self-discovery and the practice of self-love. 

Kathleen recognizes that life can be very stressful. Financial pressures, over-scheduling, difficult relationships, loneliness, low self-esteem, anxiety or depression, coupled with unhealthy thought patterns based in trauma, keep a person from living their fullest life. This doesn’t need to happen.

Kathleen believes that structured coaching helps clients face challenges and move forward in healthy, supported ways. She empowers others to understand, identify and label unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors and replace them in ways that are transformative. She provides accountability checks, resources and strategies along the way. She has studied with Barry Michels, the co-author of The Tools, the subject of Jonah Hill's documentary, Stutz. The Tools, along with light Shadow Work, is at the foundation of her work.

Kathleen offers a complimentary first session in order to answer questions and allow her clients to make sure it is a great fit. She offers coaching packages at a discount rate. She also runs group book studies on The Tools and Coming Alive.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Discover practical strategies for personal development and growth to unlock your full potential.
• Release the burden of perfectionism and embrace imperfection to live a more joyful and authentic life.
