I also try to provide actionable advice to my readers.
2. What gave you the idea for
I discovered life coaching while I was going through a particularly difficult time. I tried therapy, medication, hypnosis – anything I thought might help. A life coach, however, really pushed me to change my thinking and take control of my future. After working with a coach, I knew I wanted to become one. I also knew that I could connect with others through my writing – which is why I started my blog.

All I ever wanted to do was make an impact in the world, and do it on my own terms. Coaching and writing allow me to do this. And, as I continue on this journey, I’ve realized that my favorite thing about one I do is simply connecting with all kinds of awesome people from around the world.
