I thought I had a pretty good head on my shoulders, have wise friends and family, and most importantly, a God that can lead and guide me. Is this you, too? ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿผ


And then I got into business and met some pretty remarkable women who were doing big things. ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆโ€ฆthey were all doing some form of personal development: reading or listening to books/podcasts, having a life coach, attending workshops. I was spinning and they had a sense of calm. I had trouble turning off, worried I would miss something and fail, and they had an assuredness that the boundaries they set were for everyoneโ€™s good.

I had my first small group coaching call with @heatherboersma and actually took the time to think about what I need/want to work on. She challenged me and gave me some attainable first steps. Today is the first day to making some great changes. Iโ€™m excited for this new beginning and canโ€™t wait to see where the next 8 weeks will take me.


Whatโ€™s an area you would love to grow in, for the last quarter of the year?
