Before we get started on today’s topic, I want to officially welcome you to May. Can you believe we’re already a third of the way through 2022? 

I really can’t.

But I will say that for me, 2022 has been amazing so far and I hope it’s been that way for you too. 

I’ve never been more productive – at work, in my business or at home. I think I’ve told you guys before, but I discovered this cognitive-based coaching approach back in 2018 and since then, I’ve been doing the daily self-coaching that’s at the center of it, I’ve invested in my own coaches, and I’ve discovered things – beliefs and limiting thoughts – that I honestly never knew that I had.

Thoughts around time and age and relationships and reinvention and MONEY. I had no idea until I started to unwind my mind that those were in there. I had to get in touch with what I’m thinking. To get curious about the role those thoughts were playing in my life and to begin to believe new thoughts. Thoughts that served me.

This coaching approach has given me the courage to make very purposeful but unconventional choices in my corporate career. Choices that three or four years ago would have seemed unthinkable, but which have not only served me, they’ve also helped me to fully realize so many dreams. And have made this business possible. It’s helped me tackle some of my biggest personal challenges with being consistent around fitness goals and some personal relationship goals. I’ve started to write again. For those who don’t know, I published a few romantic comedies in 2012 and 2015 under a pen name. They were fun, lighthearted stories that are just intended to offer and escape and a smile. I stopped doing that in 2015 because I told myself I didn’t have time and that my job was too demanding. But now, I’ve started again. About halfway through book three. And it really feeds my spirit. And last but certainly not least, I’ve now got a successful business – THIS business, The Purposeful Career – and I’m getting ready to launch another that will serve a different segment. More on that later.

My point in telling you this is not to brag or not because I want this podcast to be about me, because I don’t. I want it to be about YOU. What YOU want. But I tell you this because the only way these things have become possible for me is through becoming aware of the thoughts that I had that I just thought were TRUE, but which were holding me back from fully realizing my potential and honestly, from what I truly wanted. 

This coaching approach has opened my world. It’s changed my life.
