What is holding you back from the life of your dreams? How are you defining yourself and does that definition align with what you want? Let's connect
2 years before we moved to Tennessee, I was asked this by my husband Stephen what was my dream. I will never forget this conversation. We were sitting around our dining room table with our 4 kids, then ages 8, 10, 13, and 15. All of the kids had answered with what their dreams were, all age appropriate and sweet. Stephen had spelled out some of his such as climb Mt McKinley, motorcycle ride from one side of the Americas to the other or hike the Appalachian Trail. His career has allowed him to travel the world and have experience others only dream of, so his dreams revolve around physical challenges.
Then it was my turn. What were my dreams?
It had been so long since I had allowed myself to go there in my mind as my focus had been on the kids and our home life since I had left the workforce 15 years earlier. What were my dreams? They were all wrapped up in my kids happiness, my marriage being loving and supportive, but what did I want….no idea?
That was terrifying. Horrifying and a true wake up call for me. I needed to find me again. Find the independent, creative, supportive, determined person that others thought me to be. The problem was, I didn’t believe that I was that person any longer…I didn’t know who I was outside of Mom.
I have found my next, my way of serving others and I wake up excited. It has been a journey. I have stopped and started many times and many things. Nothing felt just right. I have figured out the roadmap to get to your purpose and now I want to share it. I want others to live their very best lives and find a happiness they never dreamed possible. Please reach out and lets walk this out together. I believe in you.
