The Story of AWARE
We all have a story.
As a single mom, with two amazing children, our lives have been full of adventures. The fun filled, let’s do this again adventures, and the this sucks, I want to hide in a corner and never come out adventures. These adventures, along with 15 years of work as a teacher, coach, and educational leader, not to mention my love of learning, is what I bring to AWARE Coaching and Wellness. Yes, I have all the pieces of paper too - degrees, certifications, resume with all of my accomplishments - but I’ll tell you, the best learning has been through living and embracing all the adventures that life has thrown our way.
Remember that perfect plan I mentioned when you first met me on the home page of AWARE Coaching and Wellness? Well, after managing life at home, building a successful career, and running from one thing to the next, life threw some unexpected curveballs our way (including a global pandemic on top of it all) that forced me to stop and truly embark on my own transformational journey. This journey has allowed me to be present, taught me what true self-care means (and no, I’m not talking about bubble baths, spin class, and mental health days - although there’s a place for those things too), and has led me to create AWARE Coaching and Wellness to share the learning that has honestly changed my life.
What if I told you that having a career, a family, and a life doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your peace and calm? What if I told you that you could live in the present moment even with a to-do list a mile long? I know you probably won’t believe me, honestly, I had no idea what I was doing when I walked away from that “perfect plan”, but I continued to stumble on these tools that gave me a glimmer into a different life. A fulfilling life that allows me to live in my strengths, find flow, and enjoy the moments around me without the hustle and bustle (aka: stress and burnout). Now I have to be honest, hard things still happen, I still get frustrated, sad, and annoyed, but the more I embody the tools I’ve discovered the quicker these emotions come and go.
So here we are—AWARE Coaching and Wellness! If you’re ready to transform your life, I am ready to share with any and all who want to learn. Will it be easy…nope, but I promise it will be worth it. I invite you to come as you are, grow in your strengths, and unlock your unique potential, using evidence-based strategies to help you find your flow and thrive, even with all the things life throws your way.
