Fighting for It and Through It: My Journey Through Hard Decisions
As most of you know, my journey has been anything but conventional.
From surviving childhood sexual abuse, battling a brain aneurysm, facing infertility, to overcoming a suicide attempt (and so much more… you should read my book LOL), I've walked through fire and emerged stronger. These experiences didn't break me - they built me. They taught me the power of resilience and the importance of making hard decisions to reclaim my life.
Embracing the Fight Mentality
Life doesn't come with a manual, especially when you're navigating trauma. But one thing I've learned is the importance of embracing the "fight mentality." It's about facing challenges head-on, refusing to be a victim, and choosing to fight for your healing and happiness. This mindset was crucial when I decided to take control of my recovery and not let my past define me.
Harnessing Hope and Faith
Hope and faith have been my anchors. Even in my darkest moments, I held onto the belief that things could get better (yes, I have religious faith too). This unwavering hope pushed me forward, helping me to seek out the support I needed but also built in me the insane desire to fight for myself. To never give up. To never stop trying different ways and new things. And more importantly to dream big.
Developing Resilience Through Adversity
Resilience isn't something you're born with, it's something you cultivate. Each obstacle I faced was an opportunity to build resilience. By confronting my traumas, seeking therapy, and implementing coping strategies, I developed the strength to make tough decisions and stand firm in them. I was recently on a podcast talking about this and the actual tools I use in my daily life: Click here to listen!
Taking Ownership of Your Choices
One of the most empowering steps in my journey was taking ownership of my choices. I stopped blaming others for my circumstances and started making decisions that served my growth. This shift in perspective was honestly the hardest thing I had to do. But it was 100% worth it. Every. Single. Time.
Seeking Support and Community
Healing doesn't happen in isolation. I sought out communities and support systems that uplifted me. Surrounding myself with people who understood my journey provided the encouragement and accountability I needed to make and stick to hard decisions.
Through my experiences, I've developed a unique approach to coaching, combining empathy with actionable strategies. If you're ready to take control of your life and make the hard decisions necessary for your growth, I'm here to guide you.
Am I claiming any of this is easy? No. If it was, everyone would do it. What I am claiming is that you are not alone. And you can do the hard things!!!!!
I’ve got you.
