Just because you are doing good work, and you’re doing it well, doesn’t mean you’re fulfilled.

So many of us were taught that being of service, doing work that matters was enough.

But that’s not wholly true…

Being a teacher was good work…

Being an administrator was good work….

Being a nonprofit executive was good work,

Starting my own business as an educational consultant was good work…but something was missing.

(Yes, it’s possible to outgrow a business you’ve built.)

Don’t get me wrong. I loved being a teacher. I loved parts of being an administrator. Becoming a VP and doing things no one in my family has ever done, was amazing. Every experience I’ve had up until this point matters, but at some point

Doing good work well wasn’t enough...

because I was not doing my work.

Then I realized…

The best way I can be of service to others, the best way for me to do the most good…is to be of service to myself first.

I needed to get clear on who I am and what I feel gifted to do.

I needed to figure out what was getting in my way…

which beliefs about myself, about work, about money, about everything were holding me hostage.

Until I got real with myself…

I would keep looking to jobs for fulfillment. I’d continue to be disappointed, and I’d continue to feel boxed in. If I didn’t get clear on who I was, what I want to believe, and my own definition of success, I’d keep living a life that felt like someone else’s and not my own.

It’s not the job. It’s not the people at the job. It’s not the world that’s against you.

You’re just feeling the pangs of you not being for yourself.

Youch. That hurts. I know. I’ve been there. And sometimes, when my ego gets ahold of me, and I start comparing myself to others (which is how my ego likes to show up)–I go back to that place.

But because I’ve done the work of getting clear on who I am, what I believe, what I’m gifted to do, and how my ego tries to trip me up when I forget…

I go back to my foundation.

My foundation reminds me of who I mean to be, so I can pull myself in and bravely step out of situations that leave me unfulfilled.

Being able to choose and do the good work that is mine to do, work that aligns with who I am–that’s real freedom, that’s fulfillment, that’s the foundation for living an unleashed life.

Getting clear on who you are and what you’re gifted to do is where unleashed living starts.

…that’s why I created 

Unleashed Living: the Foundation

a 4-week experience to help you rediscover yourself and lay the foundation for your unleashed life

  • Week 0: Your Intentions.

    If you know what you’re looking for, you are more likely to find it. Before kicking off the foundation experience, it’ll be important to set your intentions…to give yourself permission to dream. What are you looking for? What do you want to gain from this experience? How do you want to be different? How will this experience change you? The moment you decide what you want and why you want it, you open your eyes, heart and mind to see exactly what you want to see.

  • Week 1: Your Values.

    In a world that is often tossing us about, knowing and living your values can help you feel anchored. Need to make a big decision? What would your values have you do? Feeling dis-ease about a situation and don’t know why? Holding the situation up against your values can provide clarity. This week, you’ll not only identify your values, but you’ll also learn how to put them into action.

    During our community call, we’ll practice leaning into our values with real world situations submitted by members of our cohort.

  • Week 2: Your Strengths.

    Every one of us is uniquely gifted with strengths to help us do what is ours to do with ease. Somewhere along the way to being “successful”, we came to believe that we had to be the doers of all the things, and our innate strengths took a back seat. You’re not lacking discipline. You are not unmotivated. You are not a procrastinator. You are just not leading with your strengths. This week, we’ll use the StrengthsFinder assessment to not only identify your strengths but the areas you should delegate/let go/bless and release as well.

    During our community call, we’ll support each other in coming up with a game plan for how to unleash our strengths at home and at work.

  • Week 3: Your Personal Experiences.

    In overcoming some of our greatest life challenges, we’ve been given the opportunity to evolve into better versions of ourselves. Our job is to let no experience go wasted, to mine every experience for the lessons, perspective and gifts they’ve given us. This is how we turn the tables from ‘why did this happen to me?’ to the more empowered ‘why did this happen for me?

    During our community call, we’ll hold a safe space for you to share your reflections and explore how this exercise can help you show up better for yourself.

  • Week 4: Your Professional Experiences.

    Similar to Week 3, we’ll use this time to mine our professional experiences for the lessons, perspective and gifts. What have we learned about ourselves and where we show up best professionally? What does this mean about our current professional status?

    During our community call, you’ll create your personal manifesto and have an opportunity to share it with the group. We’ll close out the time with celebrations and gratitudes.

It’s easy to lose sight of yourself, especially when you wear multiple hats: wife/husband, sister/brother, daughter/son, employee/entrepreneur.

 

This transformative experience guides you through the process of seeing, holding space for, and serving the most important person first–you.

  • Guided Audio Reflection.

    Delivered via a private podcast, so you can listen wherever you are. On a walk, over breakfast, or on your ride to work. No laptop, no distractions.

  • Journal Prompts.

    Writing helps you think deeper, see clearer. Your journal will be your safe space to examine your thoughts, let go of limiting beliefs, and create a path to your dreams.

  • Weekly Community Call.

    Be in community with others who are doing the same work. We are wired for connection. Doing hard work together makes you stronger.

My job as your coach is to hold space for you, so you can do your most important work.

Unleashed Living: the Foundation is right for you if...

 

☑︎ You are what some might call a rebellious high-achiever. By all accounts you’re successful, having done what everyone else said you should (or thought you couldn’t). But now you’re wondering ‘what do I want for myself?’

☑︎ You are an over-giver, who’s spent much of your life putting others’ needs ahead of your own. You’re ready to find your voice, to tune into yourself, so you can live for you.

☑︎ You are in transition. A shift is coming at work, at home, or both. You want clarity, so that your next move is aligned with you and the life you want to live.

Unleashed Living: the Foundation may not be for you if...

 

☒ You are looking for 1:1 coaching.

☒ You are unwilling to commit the time to devote to yourself and this work.

☒ Doing this work does not feel aligned or urgent for you.

 …but if you are ready to commit to yourself, to know yourself, to get to the bottom of who you are, so you can start living a more fulfilled life…

Unleashed Living: the Foundation is for you

When you commit to Unleashed Living: the Foundation...

☑︎ You commit to giving yourselves 20-30 minutes a day to listen and reflect. (Each reflection is ~10 minutes and is accompanied by a journal prompt.)

☑︎ You commit to digging in with an open heart.

☑︎ You commit to showing up and going all-in for yourself. The community calls are sacred space for connection–your presence is a gift to yourself.
