My mindset journey began the summer of my 11th year, when my mother suffered her first psychotic break. I became a caregiver during that summer and continued on as a caregiver for my mom, until her death in 2011.
My mother battled depression and bi-polar symptoms during most of her adult life. She eventually got help for her mental health issues, but then experienced grave health issues, at one point she was hospitalized for 18 consecutive months.
During 2011, I also took care of an aunt who experienced major health issues, I had to obtain a healthcare power of attorney, due to the lack of care from her own family. Eventually I took care of her again in 2015, and with the help of my husband, we assisted with her care while she battled lung cancer from February of 2015, until her death in November of 2015.
In 2015, my dad's health began to decline. He was battling COPD and the beginning of congestive heart failure. After my aunt died at the end of 2015, I began assisting my brother with my dad's care. 2016 was a difficult year. I was working in the financial industry, and the environment was a toxic one. I began to have severe headaches, which I thought were blood pressure related. Eventually, the headaches got so bad, I ended up in the ER and my blood pressure was elevated due to the pain. The ER doctor told me I needed to see a cardio specialist just in case the blood pressure elevation had affected my heart. I began seeing a cardio specialist and found out I did not have heart damage due to the elevated blood pressure, but I was found with a leaking heart valve.
Through the course of 2016 I had been reading and studying personal development. I was absorbing a huge amount of insight and motivation, so much so, I knew that this was leading me in a new direction. I began studying mindset techniques and was AMAZED to know, most of my adult life had been lived using the techniques I was now studying. This was my AHA MOMENT!!!
I researched more and more, and knew I wanted to coach women in using mindset to enhance their lives and "create their world beautiful". After the ER incident, I made the decision to quit the 9-5 and to coach and mentor full time. The timing of this decision enabled me to spend more time with my dad and to help with his care. I am so thankful for my decision, as my dad passed away in December 2016 and I was able to be with him during the last weeks of his life.
My journey was not easy, I worked full time while being a caregiver. It was harder to accomplish some things, due to time constraints. I obtained my college degree when I was 31. I want other women to know that I am aware of how consuming and tiring life's demands can be for all of us.
I am not one to flippantly say "I know what you are going through", as everyone has different experiences, but what I can say is, I understand stress, at life pulling you in a dozen different directions, of feeling like your life is on hold due to circumstances. We are all unique, but stress and negative mindset are threaded into all of our lives. I will work with you to "flip the switch" onnegative thoughts. We will work together to transform your mindset into one of inspiration and motivation. And when your thoughts are enhanced with each of these, then stress will be easier to manage, BEAUTIFUL!
Let's begin working on your BEAUTIFUL journey of inspiring and motivating mindset and unique success.
Let's create your world beautiful, TODAY!
