Before this chapter in my life began I was living a fairly quiet life. My husband and I travel and are busy with our children and grandchildren but due to a traumatic brain injury I sustained in 2016 I am limited due to vertigo and lack of balance. I had been wanting to go into coaching for a very long time, and felt that it was my calling for many years. As a Palliative Care nurse I was blessed to stand at the ready when family members needed to be heard as they watched their loved one slipping away while they had to sit helpless, afraid, and unable to confide in the one person they had always been able to lean on. I always found that the right words needed for that person always seemed to be there when I needed them and found just being there for them seemed exactly what they needed from me. This was true in many areas of my life and that awareness always brought me a sense of allowing God/ the Universe to work through me. I love the words from A Course In Miracles, and refer to it often, "Where would you have me go, what would you have me do, what would you have me say, and to whom." This was a favourite prayer of Dr. Wayne Dyer's! I have seen the Mindvalley Coaching Program come up on different social media platforms and as Ajit says that's b/c I was searching a lot of self development sites and researching coaching programs! (I believed it was the Universe and my guides nudging me!!!) I finally asked CHATGPT one day which one I should consider and after a long explanation as to why this one and not the other I was certain that this was where I wanted to expand and grow. What I didn't appreciate as I hit that sign up button was just how greatly my life would change! This program has given me the opportunity to learn tools, modalities, and insights that I would never have considered. Ajit is such an incredible teacher and I've learned so much in our Monday live Q&A sessions. Our Pod coaches Fran and Kaya have been such beautiful examples of what authentic, real, aligned, and grounded coaching looks like and I am so incredibly grateful to them both for all the time they took with us to teach us the skills required to go out into the world to serve others. What I didn't expect were all of the beautiful people I've had the honour of meeting and spending time with. Outside of the MV container is this incredible group of people who I have come to respect and enjoy spending time with. I remember our first week and Fran telling everyone to calm down that we would all find coaching buddies! I was definitely thinking she was crazy!!! It was so intimidating to sit in that space in the beginning and not knowing anyone! But of course she was right!!! I feel so blessed to have met the people I've met and look forward to growing, expanding, and developing into an incredible group of friends as time goes by! I was feeling very nervous about going out there on my own now that the program has come to an end but with this group of amazing friends I feel like I'll never be alone and will always be able to turn to any one of them for support, guidance, and encouragement when needed.
