“I now support women reconnect with the essence of who they are"

This has been an incredible year of going all in on myself and the results have been incredible.

I run a business called into love and what we do is we help women reconnect with the essence of who they are to find out what that passion is, what their purpose is, and live a really fulfilling and rewarding life. I now absoutely love what I get to do

Q: SO WHAT DID LIFE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU BEFORE YOU BEGAN AT THE INTERNATIONAL COACHING INSTITUTE? I did 10 years in corporate, so I was in corporate since I was about 18. And I really thought that was where my life should have gone. I ended up just depleting my life force, and I didn't believe in myself or know who I was.

While being in the corporate world I owned my first house at 24. I had a beautiful marriage. I had beautiful kids, but deep down I was so unfulfilled and became more depressed than ever in my life. I knew there was more to life than that. I wanted to go find what that could be and I found Coaching.

Q: HOW DID YOU FIND THE INTERNATIONAL COACHING INSTITUTE AND COACHING?

I think it just popped up. It just popped up for me, and it really grabbed me. I couldn't pinpoint what it was. It was a feeling, it was a knowing. I was like, wow. I really want to make a difference and I really love helping people, I really love finding solutions and I love creation to helping people create the life that they want, or just even start a business or bring their ideas to life. It has been the most transformational journey I have ever been on. Now I live a life that's full of passion, love and inspiration.

Q: WAS IT A CHALLENGE FOR YOU TO MAKE THE DECISION TO TRANSITION OUT OF CORPORATE INTO COACHING OR DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO?

I just got to a point where I'm like, I can't live like this, this isn't how my life is supposed to go. This is not right for me, this is not okay. This is not how I should be living my life.

I'm just going to do this because I can't live like this anymore.

During this journey all of the team at ICI were supportive and really held me in safe space to make a decision that would support me to become my best self. So while it wasn't the most challenging decision that I made, it has been the most incredibly rewarding decision that I've made!

Q: SHARE WITH US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT YOUR COACHING AND YOUR BUSINESS?

My first year of business, I've hit almost a quarter of a million dollars! There's no way I would have thought that would be possible for me. Life and business is a journey and we get to love the journey that we're on. It's not about a destination. It's loving the journey and finding our way and helping each other out. I now support women through running incredible transformational retreats. We do a six-week program that helps you identify who you are. So we help women who feel lost and unsure on what their next step is or what their goals are, and we work through that together. The goal is to create incredible spaces for women to be their best selves.

We're just about to launch our facilitation course for women, so that's coming in the pipeline for next year. It’s insanely rewarding to be able to bring together a community of women.

Q: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO'S READING THIS AND WAS THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A COACH? Just do it. You have one life and if you really feel that calling to find your purpose and to live a life of purpose and passion and inspiration, then just do it.

Coaching is a world where you get to look at all of your stuff and move through it and come out the other side and be amazed at how far you've come. Even better, you get to others do that. This has been the most transformational journey I have ever been on.
