About Me
In a nutshell, I could say that my whole life, I have been motivated to live at and beyond my edge, but inevitably, I gave in to my conditioning, most of it fear-based, and seemingly self-sabotaged at every turn. I simultaneously believed that I was destined for amazing things, while also believing I was doomed to disappointment and mediocrity.
I never finished college...
I never finished college, BUT I have continued to teach myself everything I know, including other languages, computer databases, the skills of leadership and coaching, how to build websites, how to write and self-publish books, how to form a networking association, how to get up after every time I have fallen, and so much more.
I never kept a job for more than two years...
I never kept a job more than two years, BUT I have learned myriad skills in multiple fields. I have worked in jobs that require the degree I never got. I have had director-level positions, and I have worked entry-level reception and data entry and everything in between. I have worked in staffing, education, government sectors, medical, construction, sales and service, and even manufacturing.
Inevitably, I have had to come to terms with my burning desire, however frightening, to be an entrepreneur.
I have married three times and been divorced twice...
I have married three times and been divorced twice. BUT I have learned as much about what I don't want in a relationship as what I do want. AND I have learned that the first and most important relationship is with my Self. This has made my current marriage stronger and more fulfilling for both me and my husband!
I have been a victim of stinking thinking...
I have been a victim of stinking thinking and shrinking thinking, even justifying this bad thinking with excuses as to why I thought the way I did. This stinking, shrinking thinking allowed me to remain small for far too many years. BUT, I learned that I can keep any excuse I want to, AND their consequences, OR I can choose better.
I've also lived outside my home country for 5 years, been almost strangled to death and survived, given birth to two beautiful daughters, dove gloriously off a platform over the ocean strapped to an inconsequential cord called a bungee, started and failed - I mean abandoned - countless endeavors, and so, so, so much more...
And yet, here I am!
Why do I share all this? Because I think it's important for you to know that I am human! I have experienced, and continue to experience the same kinds of circumstances, emotions, thoughts, struggles and achievements that you do. I have finally understood the power in accepting my own authority and relying on my inner wisdom as a more reliable way to encounter these experiences.
I am dedicated to providing a container of time and space that allows you to learn to do the same. And my offering will always begin with the gift of this container that I call Coming to the EDG: the 2 Hour Coaching Experience, which you'll read more about as you explore the site.
It's powerful!
