Becoming a life coach

A year ago, in 2019, I decided to pursue becoming a life coach. I wanted to use my God-given gifts of empathy, compassion, and connection to help people.⁣⁣⁣⁠

Today I became a certified life coach and it feels surreal. It wasn’t something I’d ever set out to do before last year. ⁣⁣

But I’m not surprised. People who know me well aren’t surprised either. Friends I’ve told have said in unison, “Yeah, of course! Life coaching is so you.”⁣⁣⁣

See, the desire to serve people and ease their suffering is a calling that’s been on my heart since my early 20s. It’s persisted through the years, expressing itself through the relationships and communities in which I found myself. I brushed it aside until it culminated last year into a conviction so strong I could no longer ignore. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

The fear of not honoring this calling became greater than the fear of what other people would think and how a second career would fit into my life. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

I took a leap of faith, and I’m so glad I did. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

Becoming a life coach feels like arriving home. I’ve coached in informal capacities my entire life, never once thinking it'd become my profession. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

Yet, here I am.⁣⁣⁣⁠

I’m so honored to do this work. One of my life’s purposes is to hold space for people, help them understand themselves, and empower them to experience their life in a way that supports their goals, dreams, and desires. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

I’m so grateful for my past self’s courage and commitment to see an idea through to completion despite self-doubt, fear, and discomfort. ⁣⁣⁣⁠

This is only the beginning.
