My light has always burned brightly.

A coworker once told me, “When you walk into a room, you shine a light on everyone around you. This causes some people to lash out, because you strive to be better, you make change effortlessly, and you bring others along with you. They don’t want to look that nakedly at themselves, so they try to tear you down. Don’t let them dim your light - the world needs you.”
While I deeply value his kind words and the intention behind them, I couldn't help but think, “What role am I playing in this drama?”

From as early as I can remember, I’ve believed that I can learn to conquer anything. However, my misunderstood martyr complex from growing up in a family with alcoholism and other addiction issues has allowed the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of others creep in and overpower my own.

As someone who loves to help heal those around me, I’ve subconsciously inserted myself into other people's problems, causing negative reactions. I would then internalize those reactions, and allow them to silence my voice, suppress my fire, and leave me in distress. This often lead to emotional outbursts and deep depressions, disguised by an outward smile and a mask of perfection, which I wore like a heavy suit of armor to keep anyone who might hurt me at arm’s length.

When I first discovered my struggle with codependency and my tendency to be a misunderstood martyr, I was incredibly frustrated with the judgment that came from others. Martyrs can be put down, eye-rolled and snickered at. We're seen as melodramatic, self-imposed victims who are destructive in home and work environments.

I wondered why there was no acknowledgement of the real suffering and struggle that I went through as a martyr. You see, I was addicted to finding my worth in others. At that point, I was still looking outside of myself for the solutions to my unintentionally self-inflicted pain. For me, the acknowledgement came through self-acceptance, a little humor, and unconditional self-love that I still work on every day.

As I moved toward understanding my misunderstood martyr label, I found that I was critical enough of myself – others’ judgments were flawed and completely unhelpful, and therapists’ suggestions to make it better were largely educational, but not sufficient. I didn’t want anyone else to “fix” me, just like I didn’t want to try to fix others anymore.

Instead, I needed to find my own strength and channel my power into being a better, healthier version of myself. I couldn’t continue to be who I thought I had to for my family, boyfriend, friends, coworkers, bosses, or anyone else. I found my sovereign soul; my inner empire for me to rule with absolute authority, confidence, and joy. I now know that I have complete control of processing my emotions, taking responsibility for my choices, and loving myself deeply regardless of what others say, do, think, or feel. Now that is power!

Sovereign:
n. A supreme ruler, especially a monarch
adj. Possessing supreme or ultimate power

I’ve walked this path, and still do, when I’m triggered by certain situations. If you’re looking for a judgment-free guide to help you navigate your own path to personal freedom and help you get out of your own way, look no further.

Are you ready to change your story?
If so, I invite you to step into your own light, and change your label from Misunderstood Martyr to Sovereign Soul, allowing it to shine brightly in this world.

If you want to have life changes and pursuit real happiness, you have to start listening what your emotions, your body and your mind are telling you. During your life you probably had people teaching you how to think, how to study, how to behave. Nevertheless, there is a big chance that no one teaches you how to feel, how to express, how to be the best version of you. Coaching can guide you through this path of self-knowledge; there is always room for improvement.

What I can do is to help you to change your perspective how you are living your life, discover together what beliefs are holding you back and how to overcome those beliefs to achieve all your dreams and goals.

As an Ontology coach, I won’t tell you what to do or how to think. Through a coaching conversation, you will discover by your own what are the things that have been always in front of you, but weren’t able to see it.

After you start to see things differently, you will be able to start shaping your life as you have always dreamed. When we achieve this, it will be the time for you to start taking new actions in order to get different results and build a new way of living.

Can wait to meet you!!!... See More

The mission of Click Life Coaching is to help clients harness their intuition, hone their analytical skills and challenge their ingrained beliefs to achieve clarity of purpose and to incite action toward goals.

If you choose to enter into a coaching relationship with me, we can tackle any decision-making stalemate you can think up. Can’t decide on a topic? Here are my four main areas of focus with clients.

WORK/LIFE: Learning to navigate a new role after promotion? Caring for both children and aging parents? Feeling burnout creep in? Just want a little more time to breathe? Let's look at how to achieve balance.

CAREER CHANGE: When the thought of career change can make us quake in our boots but also shudder with joy, we may be onto something big. How do we move forward without letting fear dictate our decisions?

MIDLIFE QUESTIONING: It seems like you're 18 or 24 and then suddenly, almost bafflingly, you're over 40 wondering, "What just happened?" A midlife crisis is no more than your adolescent self all grown up, still asking, "Who am I?" But you already have the answers – we just need to surface them.

CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT: Let’s look as what compels you to express your creativity and, conversely, what stops you from following through. Together we can explore issues of self-censorship, feelings of creative inadequacy and fear to get the juices flowing again.... See More

Find your edge, Play it well, Transform your life!

“Edges” are the taking-off points and frontiers in your life. They show up as transitions, choice-points or thresholds, intersections, beginnings and endings, and the inbetween places – the gaps between where you are and where you want to be. If you’re alive, you’ve got edges!!

“Playing the edge” means navigating and negotiating your edges with greater awareness and more skill, and having more fun doing it. This might mean letting go, trying new approaches, and/or making choices that are better aligned with what is most important to you. Playing your edge means maintaining your balance as you advance towards your desired outcomes. It is living with courageous authenticity and joy. I provide committed listening and support, facilitate rigorous and playful inquiry and exploration, offer somatic exercises and practices, and serve as a powerful accountability partner in your transformation.

What's keeping you from playing your edge? Contact me and let's explore the possibilities!

Dissatisfied with your life and career and asking “is this all there is”?

Need help figuring out how to answer a deeper calling without sacrificing everything?

Tired of setting aside your dreams and feel “it’s now or never”?

If you’re like me, there’s something stirring inside-a need to answer your calling, speak your authentic voice, sing your song.

I know what it’s like. I, too, spent a career pursuing what I thought was my dream, only to discover I wasn’t aligned with who I really am and what matters most to me-my soul's music.

Imagine having a life and career that make your heart sing and allow you to make unique and meaningful contributions to the world.

Whether you feel completely stuck and can’t see a clear path forward, have some sense of direction and need inspiration and clarity on your next steps, or already have a big vision that you need support bringing to life, I’ll help you create the results you want.

Symphony of Your Soul is the multi-dimensional approach I developed to help you realize your gifts, strengths and massive potential which are not yet fully expressed.

When you listen to the music inside you-encompassing body, mind and spirit-you start to draw out the gifts that are uniquely yours. You discover your own song and the voice to bring it forth to the world, so you leave your legacy.

Coaching is right if you are ready to:
•Own a clear vision for your life and career
•Embrace your unique gifts, strengths and passions
•Transform a mid-life crisis into a mid-life calling
•Clarify who you are at your core essence and what’s really important to you
•Live totally on path and purpose
•Reveal and break through fears, doubts and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck
•Program your mind for massive success so you can move forward with confidence
•Align your decisions with head and heart
•Step into your greatness
•Partner with a coach who will challenge, support and champion you
