September 04, 2023 Reflecting On This Past Year
🎙️ Reflecting On This Past Year | Another Birthday, Another Life Lesson.

📝 August Reflection

Leaning into the new season, forced me to reflect on my past year. There is so much that life teaches you, and you have to choose to be present to take it all in. To my surprise, there was more than I anticipated, which made me reflect on the fact that I want to try to be better and stay present in the moment, even if it's uncomfortable.

I was fortunate enough to reconnect and rekindle my friendships, with two of my friends, from my life in The Netherlands, without knowing the impact that would have on my journey of becoming a more self aware individual.

Life is about the journey, not about the end result.

May 10, 2023 Empowerment: A Loaded Word With a Variety of Approaches
On today's episode, I'm excited to begin sharing more on the topic of EMPOWERMENT.

For the past month, I've been going back and forth on what it means to be empowered, how to empower someone else, and what I do to empower myself. I realized that it's a loaded question with a variety of answers and approaches.

Here I share a short story about a coaching session I had a year ago, where my coach shared a visualization tool to help me empower myself when I'd need it.

Through my coaching experiences, starting a business, and simply trying to do it all and stay motivated, I learned that when I can't empower myself, I tap into my support system and ask them to empower me.

I can't do it all, and I don't want to.

Just do you.

I hope you enjoy it,
Ro

What is not life coaching?
What can you expect during a life coaching session?
How did life coaching help us in our transitions?

How did we get to the program?
What did it take to start over?
What did we learn from shedding the old and coming into the new?

Lastly, a few takeaways.
