When people ask me what I do as a life coach, I typically reply that I help women close the gap between their A(where they are now) and their B(where they want to be). I saw a commercial for the 1-800-got-junk company and it struck me that I’m also in the junk removal business.

They get rid of your:

appliances

electronics

carpet

mattresses…and more.

I guide you through getting rid of your mental junk:

complacency

lack of confidence

inertia

externalizing

obligated living…whatever is not serving you.

And I do this from a place of having been there too. From a place of falling back into one of those holes from time to time. From a place of knowing that remaining there is not an option for optimal living.

What I love about coaching is that there are  all kinds of paths to do the work: retreats, vision board events, Desire Map workshops, group teleclasses and individual sessions, etc.

My latest option: the L.T.S.G. BOOK CLUB!! Reading is my jam AND my jelly! And this is going to be a no-stress, up-level your life club. Interested?? Check out the details here and sign up! There’s a cool mug giveaway waiting on you! https://crenecoach.com/the-l-t-s-g-book-cluba-crenecoach-jam/

 

P.S. If part of the junk clogging up your mind is job misery, I’ve got you covered there too. I and another kick-A coach, Gwen Hall, have teamed up to help you find work you love during a six week teleclass, Your Next Move. https://crenecoach.com/your-next-move/

Enrollment is open!

 

“We’ve all fallen We have the skinned knees and bruised hearts to prove it. But scars are easier to talk about than they are to show. With all the remembered feelings laid bare. And rarely do we see wounds that are in the process of healing. Dr. Brené Brown

How’s your summer going? It’s been a minute since I’ve sent a blog/newsletter. Great things have been happening in cReneCoach world, I:

– ended my (visiting coach) participation in a wonderful local mentoring program for executive women, Learned much from the monthly sessions (and from the program’s powerhouse founder) and met some Fab mover/shaker women(staff and participants)…

– kicked off my Master Coach certification journey with in an incredible week in an art museum hotel with 11 other women who are now sisters, not just classmates…

– rolled out the Desire Map workshop with a group of incredibly engaged women who connected to the value in asking what’s become one of my two foundational life compass questions: How do you want to feel? (The other is the BARE question: Does this feel like love?)…

– soft launched what will become a cReneCoach/2WiseCrew signature program: Your Next Move, the teleclass to end all teleclasses that guides you in getting work that supports the life you want to live…

– FINALLY figured out the movement/eating recipe that works for my body!

So why did I open with a quote about scars? Why am I showing you my scarred knees? Because, instead of celebrating what’s going well, I’ve been beating myself up about what I :

No new clients picked up from the executive group…investing more $$ in my business than I’m bringing in…my house is a mess…Your Next Move won’t sell out…my thighs are still too big…Waa! Waa! Waa!

I literally cried out to God(cuz that’s MY roll), asking for ‘am I on the right path’ direction. I LOVE this path but shouldn’t I be further along on it? And thankfully, the response was quick: This is the messy part…the creating/building part…the figuring it out, bruising/scarring part. But yes, this is your path. I’ve got you. You’re in the midst of your harvest.

Woo Sa! Then that message was repeated in the Brené Brown Super Soul Sunday Rising Strong interview I just ‘happened’ upon. Repeated in my daily devotion re trusting God’s plans. Repeated today’s blogs from life coaches, Cheryl Richardson and Danielle LaPorte. And repeated in the midst of writing this post, in the unexpected email from one of my Desire Map workshop attendees: “So go ahead my sister, handle ‘yo’ business. Because I am telling you that your light is resonating in my life for sure…I’m just saying stay LIT UP.”

YASSSSSSSS!! LIT UP is exactly how coaching FAB women makes me feel. The scars you CAN’T see are why I do this. It’s not all fun and happy…even (and especially!) for a life coach. ‘But a winner don’t quit on herself’ and I’m in for the win…for ALL of us. I’m re-working my faulty perceptions. These scarred knees have brought me far and have more beautiful places to take me, literally and figuratively.

Woo Sa!

P.S. If you (or someone you’re tired of hearing whine!) are not happy in your day job, get yourself signed up for one of ONLY twelve spaces for Your Next Move.
