Self-Care and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach based in Charlotte, NC.
I know in my heart and mind that manifestation is real. I’ve experienced it many times, even when I didn’t know I was doing it.
After graduating college, I remember thinking about what I wanted to do with my education. The thought of being in front of lots of people and teaching them how to write computer code came up a lot. I would have daydreams about it, which is super weird because I was extremely shy. I had been interviewing for months with no luck when I came across a technical training position, so I applied. The interview went terribly. They just weren’t interested. Said I didn’t have the confidence to teach in a corporate environment, so I gave up on searching for a teaching/training job, but I still thought about it a lot.
6 months later, I was invited to an interview for another technical training company. Something was different this time though. I went in with confidence and passion. This was what I wanted. I had been thinking about it for nearly a year. I had daydreams about being in front of small classrooms and huge auditoriums teaching people how to use technology and how to create cool things with code. They hired me and I was one of the best rated instructors the entire time I worked for them. This was the manifestation I had mentioned although at the time I had no idea that’s what it was.
My career had progressed over the years. I stopped teaching and got into web development then sales but that passion, the one for learning and teaching, had never gone away.
I satisfied that passion, that desire for learning and teaching with self-help books and podcasts including health and wellness, self-improvement, and anything I could get my hands on or listen to that allowed me to grow personally and professionally. Then I’d drive people crazy sharing all the cool things I’d learned hoping they’d want to try it too. (That didn’t always work 😊)
Then something happened…I was laid off.
For over 20 years I climbed the ladder up to an executive position making a shit ton of money. It was scary but honestly what scared me more is going back to that career. My heart just wasn’t in it. My passion is learning and teaching about being well and creating a balanced life. I had been doing those things for myself all those years, but I wanted to help others to be well and create balance and peace in their lives, not go back to selling technology solutions.
So that’s what I’m doing! I’m helping people like you use self-care practices to create balance in your life so you can be well and find peace and happiness.
Health is not a goal, it’s a lifestyle.
