For years I have made it my mission to work with others and help them to make changes in their life and to see the importance of being true to who they are and what they want in life , yet I wasn’t doing that for myself. You see for years I have been carrying around a secret about who I am and what I have been through and haven’t been honest with myself and others.
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason and that you will eventually see the positives in every situation, even if you are pushed to your limits in the process. Now I know not everyone will agree with me on this and that is absolutely fine, but it is this statement that has helped carry me through the darkest times of my life and has helped to get me here today.
Throughout my life I have suffered from Trauma on more than one occasion and in ways I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
I have been sexually abused.
I have been physically abused.
I have suffered miscarriages while trying to conceive a much longed for baby.
I have ben made redundant from a job I loved having worked my backside off to get it.
I have carried guilt, anger, bitterness, hurt, despair and fear around me, dictating my decisions and defining my life in a way I didn’t like.
Five years ago when I was made redundant and stepped into the world of Coaching I finally got the opportunity I needed to work on myself and really learn the importance of letting go. I used myself as my guinea pig in my training and pushed myself to use every technique I could to help me to free my mind, release my emotions and finally start to see the good it what I had suffered.
It transformed my life.
It wasn’t easy and there were times when I questioned whether I could do this BUT I now hand on heart feel proud of who I am and of what I have overcome, so much so, that I have decided to use my experience in a way that feels really right for me.
For the last few years I have been ignoring that niggle in your mind, you know the one, where you are trying to do something and the universe has other ideas. I was hiding through fear and in my mind only doing half a job with my coaching.
I needed to follow my true path and really start to follow my passions.
I needed to step out of the shadows and into my truth so I could help and inspire others to not let trauma define them and to believe in themselves again so they could create the life they really wanted not one that is defined by their past.
I was ready to make a stand.
I was ready to make a difference and feel proud of what I have been through and how I have overcome it.
I was ready to share my story and step into my truth.
I was ready to inspire others to step into their truth, to let go and to create a life they are proud of, to use their experience to propel them forward and to grab opportunities with both hands and to go for it.
Having experience trauma in a number of ways I came to realise the isolation that comes with that, as well as the stigma and judgement that surrounds it. You feel different, guilty, scared, insecure, vulnerable, angry and yet you try and keep it all in, just to fit in and not be seen as different.
Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes, and is something we will all experience at some point in our lives. Trauma is anything that affects you on a deep emotional level and leaves you questioning why that just happened.
- Child birth
- Divorce
- Infertility
- Public speaking
- Accidents
- illness
- Losing a loved one
- Bullying
- Financial Debt
Knowing you are not alone, that others know how you feel, that there is support and guidance out there is a game changer – well it certainly was for me.
Working with my coach helped me to re-write my story, to see things differently and to learn from each experience. It helped to me grow in confidence and to no longer feel ashamed and guilty. It transformed my life.
It is now my mission to help others feel the same, to let go of the past, to see the positive in every situation and to transform your mindset from fear to freedom so you have the courage to step out into the unlimited opportunity that surrounds you and to grab it with both hands.
We don’t have the power to change our pasts BUT we do have the power to change our future.
It is time to transform lives from fear to freedom, from surviving to thriving and make a difference.
