I am a Life Coach because I credit Life Coaching to TURNING MY LIFE THE FUCK AROUND.
All through my college (and several post-college) years, I did a lot of what I thought I should do because I thought it would make me feel proud…but it actually ended up running me into the ground.
All of the “good” stuff – a decent job that paid me enough to survive, a boyfriend who seemed okay on the surface – all of it felt like shit.
I vividly remember waking up one day and thinking, “This can’t be life.” And yet, part of me always believed I’d find ‘it” – happiness, love, success (whatever that means) – in the next job, the next city or the next lover. Turns out, I was wrong.
After spending more time on the yoga mat, in therapist chairs, consulting with tarot card readers and perusing the self-help section of the bookstore than is humanly healthy, I got a flash of white hot truth: Happiness is created from the inside out, not the other way around.
In order to finally feel “secure” in my life, I had to take a good, hard look at my insides, my motivations, my dreams, my desires and my darkness. I had to take ownership of Jessica. ALL of Jessica.
Which meant? I had to clean up my life – mentally, emotionally and socially.
I had to say goodbye to ALL of the ways I was letting myself down – cigarettes, alcohol, avoiding, overspending, ditching and lying, just to name a few. 😉 .
And that’s when things started to turn around for me. Today, I know (mostly) who I am (although I continue to allow myself to grow).
I help others because this is the only job I can ever imagine myself doing. I am so passionate about helping you help yourself. I know what it feels like — and I want more than anything to help you change your life.
