In a world that swirls around like a tornado, what if YOU are the grounding force you need?
 
Dear friend,
 
If you're reading this newsletter you're probably like me, in that, personal growth is important to you and you understand how leaning into growth offers wisdom and real progress. Mere survival doesn't feel like enough - you want MORE.
 
The biggest trap is the desire for more being misconstrued with acquiring more “stuff”. Whether it be a shiny title at work, new car, vacation home, wardrobe or surface level friendships. These "outside" things might offer temporary status, but eventually leave you right where you started - craving more and feeling like you cannot be satisfied, because it's never enough. What if I told you there's nothing wrong with you, the real problem is you're looking in the wrong places for the fulfillment you crave.
 
What most of us really want is to be grounded to something deeper within ourselves - we just don't know how to get there.
 
Are you ready to dip your toe in the water and see what it's all about?
 
This is where the work comes in, because growth while it may be simple is never easy. It requires us to be brave, real and compassionate with ourselves. If it were easy everyone would do it!
 
The first step is to get clear about what you want and why you really want it. These are the questions I find myself coming back to time and time again:
  • What do I really want?
  • Why is this important to me?
  • What am I willing to do or let go of to get what I want?
  • What needs do I have that aren't being met?
  • How can I better meet my own needs?
  • Who can help support me through this?
The more honest you are with yourself with these questions, the greater impact your answers will offer on your path forward. Also, your ability to self reflect and tap into your needs, wants, dreams and goals is a skill that can be learned. We can literally grow these skills like a muscle, which I think is exciting and gives me immense hope. I do it within my own life and now I help others do the same. Many of us were not taught how to do this as kids, but it can be your chosen responsibility to do the work in adulthood.

As a coach, I have walked beside countless people who are looking for more clarity, more confidence, more money, more peace of mind, more passion. As we dig a little deeper what they are truly longing for is that connection with themselves so they can live more authentically and fully embrace themselves. This is an inside-out way of living, where you belong to yourself first and from there your gifts radiate out into the world.
 
Friend, you are the grounding force you have been waiting for!
 
I have seen firsthand the lightness that washes over someone when they begin to peel away the outer layers of their personality and are able to peek inside to the needs of their soul. This is the deepest part of you and from were you wield the greatest power. Transformational is the word that comes to my mind. ✨ 
 
No matter your path, growth is a commitment you make to yourself. The work is hard, but the reward is great!

 
Growing through what I go through,
Jill
