Several of you have asked me what it is like to work with a Life Coach. So, I decided to share my notes with you from 3 sessions with my Life Coach. (These are just my notes – my “nuggets of wisdom” I wanted to take away from each session and my A-ha moments.)
Understand, I am a Life Coach myself and am really good at self-coaching and working through my thoughts.
BUT, it is amazing how someone who is not inside your own head can help you shed light on what your brain is really telling you.
It is truly a transformational experience for me. So good. I hope this helps you, too.
