"Thanks to the program, I’ve uncovered a lot of the stories I’ve been telling myself — the ones that have kept me small"

Before the program, I was excited — not in a loud way, but in that quiet, hopeful way when you feel something might finally click. I had been searching for purpose for a long time, and when I saw the ad for this program, I felt a strange pull. The truth is, I had seen that ad pop up for a year or two. Every time I saw it, I thought, Wow, these people must be amazing. Coaching sounds like such a powerful, purposeful thing. I would admire it from afar and quickly dismiss the idea. 
Then one day, for some reason, it came up again — and this time, something shifted. I looked at it and thought: This is ridiculously cool. What if I could do this? Why not me? That thought alone was a tiny act of rebellion against the doubts that had ruled me for years. Within a day or two, I had enrolled. The course was starting just a few days later, and suddenly I was in. It felt a little crazy. I was scared, shy, and convinced I had stepped into shoes far too big for me. There were so many doubts. Who do you think you are? You’re not enough. But I had made the leap — and I told myself: Let’s just take the ride. 
Thanks to the program, I’ve uncovered a lot of the stories I’ve been telling myself — the ones that have kept me small. Becoming aware of those inner voices has changed everything. I’ve also loved every single tool, lesson, and perspective shared along the way. Ajit’s teachings, Coach Fran’s energy, and Coach Kaya’s insights — each one brought something precious. It’s hard to list everything that’s shifted, but if I had to choose one thing, it would be recognizing and beginning to rewrite my inner narratives. 
One of the most magical parts has been the people. Every coaching lab felt like opening a surprise gift — I never knew what to expect, but I always came out of it smiling, grateful, and a little more expanded. The connections, the shared vulnerability, and the growth I witnessed in others and myself — all of it reminded me that this path is not only possible but deeply human and joyful. 
Nowadays, the journey continues. The course has just ended, but it feels like something is just beginning. Strangely (or maybe not so strangely), I recently connected with a woman who is also a coach. We met almost by chance, and she already has clients and experience — and she asked if I’d like to have a conversation about working together, brainstorming, and maybe even collaborating. I have no idea where that might lead, but I’m curious and excited. 
I’ve also just started the Life Coach Business Accelerator, and it’s moving fast. I’m not always sure I’m keeping up with all the changes coming my way — but I’m learning to trust myself in the process. I’m in the middle of a transformation, getting used to this new identity, this new rhythm, and the possibility that maybe… this is really me now. 
To Ajit, Fran, Kaya, and everyone in our cohort — thank you. You’ve been part of something truly meaningful for me. This was just the first step, but it was a big one. And I’m grateful for every moment of it.
