Sensing the Shift

Often during my discovery and strategy sessions, I would hear or feel energy or the lack of it as women spoke about their goals and current lives.

As I questioned women and asked them to picture their future aligned with their current goals and career paths, they often expressed discouragement, saying that this was how things were and that it didn’t excite them or make them feel fulfilled.

My goal then would be to work with what they told me and what I intuitively felt. Asking them thoughtful questions that would help them see career and/or personal life changes that would give them a life they would love. Hearing and feeling their energy change when I encouraged them to envision this new path was the shift I loved to witness.

Life’s Ah-ha Moment’s

Viola! A new dream is created, one that is full of passion, purpose, fulfillment, and intentional living!

It’s exciting for when the aha happens, and a new dream is born. Then the work to make the dream a reality can begin.

That’s one of the things that got me into the field of focusing on women achieving dreams as a career. The other is that while I could help everyone else discover and achieve their dreams I didn’t know what my own were. 

Once for a business training I was in, I was assigned the task of writing down my goals, things I wanted, places I wanted to go, and things I wanted to do.

My 20-something son asked me what I was working on and if he could see it.

He studied the paper I showed him, handed it back to me with a shake of his head, and said, “Mom, you need to dream bigger!”

Rediscovering and Believing in My Own Dreams

He was right, so I let loose and wrote down things I wanted, but deep inside, as I wrote them, I knew they weren’t going to happen.

So Many Doubts and Limiting Beliefs

Then I started examining my excuses, doubts, and all the reasons I thought my dreams would never become a reality.

Focusing on My Goals

From that day on, I began researching, studying, and reading everything I could on setting and achieving goals, the difference between goals and dreams, the power of having a purpose and a passion for what you do in life, and understanding beliefs and the effect they have on our past, present, and future life.

The Books I Wish I Had Read ~ Then

My natural curiosity led me to study New Thought authors, and much of what I have found helpful in my life comes from the words of wisdom written in the past, as well as the inspiration of current thought leaders who teach co-creating your life, intentional living, and manifesting your dreams.

Eventually, I discovered that my passion was helping women, much like myself, who spent their lives helping others achieve their dreams, to finally discover or rediscover and achieve their own.

(The above photo was from when I thought I wanted to be a florist. It’s a hobby I am passionate about, but it wasn’t a lifelong dream; it was actually a suggestion from my husband, who thought it would be a nice little something for me to do rather than chase my dreams, which seemed to threaten him at the time.)

Something I have learned is that we can spend a lot of time chasing someone else’s dream for us or the wrong dream. I left my flowers for my dream of helping make dreams come true!) 

I became a Discovery & Accountability Coach and a Certified Dream Coach®.

No, not one who analyzes your dreams. A coach who helps you discover and live your dreams.

I have learned that dreaming leads to dreams coming true.  I am still pursuing my dreams and daring to dream even bigger ones.
