Willing to be Unstoppable
I have lived a lifetime filled with ups and downs. I found myself showing up in various ways (none of them were easy)! I feel like I have lived 3 lifetimes, each one different and unique.
In my first lifetime I worked as a pipe fitter at GM, I was the second woman to complete an apprenticeship and become a journeyman pipe fitter (quite an accomplishment in the 1980’s, a time where women were entering many non-traditional jobs).
My Painful Life Experiences (PLE’s) drove me to seek more and more education. My Next Level Up included getting 2 graduate degrees and opening up my private practice where I conduct individual and family therapy. This leveling up was not easy. I found myself starting and stopping and sometimes wanting to pull the plug. But I was unwilling to stop. This is where my unstoppable journey began. I had to fight through a lot of my own stuff (limiting beliefs, dysfunctional patterns, trauma, fear, you name it I somehow acquired it). I finally figured out how to become unstoppable. I have been leveling up most of my life, I just did not know what to call that process.
In April 2020 (at the beginning of the Pandemic) I took my Level 1 Brainspotting (BSP) training (online)! This once again created a leveling up in my own life and in the lives of my clients. BSP was an amazing intervention that helped people clear up old stuff and expand into new territories (see my 411 BSP page; willingtobeunstoppable.com).
I took many trainings during the pandemic and my skillset grew and my own leveling up process became easier. I was getting free of unhelpful thinking, clearing out stuck patterns, seeing the world in a different way, creating new opportunities for myself; it was truly amazing.
It was during the Fall of 2020 that I began my next leveling up process; I decided to open up an online coaching business (Next Level Up coaching). This was not easy, but I could definitely see how this could be the next evolution in my business. I could help people through coaching and I could incorporate BSP while doing it. The clarity I received during my year of BSP was truly awesome. If I could pull this off I could be mobile and doing what I truly loved. I could get out of Michigan in the winter, I could see interesting places and meet new people; all while working and helping peoples lives transform. Now that is Next Level Up Thinking!
So here I am, a woman in her 3rd act leveling up as a Life Coach using Brainspotting Coaching via Telecoaching. This is truly a creative endeavor that will allow me to live the dream and promote growth in all of my coaching clients.
As a virtual life coach (or Remote Life Coaching for some) I could bring all of my knowledge, skill set, BSP and Powerful coaching to each and every client who could see themselves stuck but wanting to go to the next level up in their lives! How exciting is that!
Please let me know if you would like to work with me and we can co-create a plan for you to meet your goals and accomplish your personal and professional dreams.
