Stuck No More

Sometimes we convince ourselves that the safest thing to do is to stay stuck. Stuck in a job that isn’t fulfilling. Or a city that's keeping us small. Or continuing to conform to beliefs that aren't our own.
To somehow actively choose to stay in a place we know isn’t right. How is that safe? Somehow though, it feels safer to know what’s coming. Even if what’s coming is unhappiness. Or boredom. Or financial distress. Because at least it doesn’t hurt so bad when we don’t get what we want.
I was stuck. But safe. I blamed everyone and everything for my unhappiness. The only person to blame though was myself. Because I was too afraid to change. I started coming across and meeting these people that seemed to have all these qualities that I craved. A common thread was freedom. Freedom with time, freedom to create. Freedom to sit with someone for hours just because the conversation is good. Freedom to travel.
Through my own work with a coach I discovered my skills, my worth, and my own truths. Slowly and fearfully, I'm making that dream of freedom a reality.
In August I'm taking the biggest step toward that reality so far. I'm flying to London, and will spend 6+ weeks traveling through Europe exploring, writing, coaching, and daring to create the life that brings me joy and pushes me to be better every day.
I'll be setting up group and individual coaching sessions in each city in addition to virtual and phone sessions.
I'm so excited!
