Putting the needs of others first does not mean losing you along the way. If that sounds familiar, then you and I have a lot in common. Sometimes our very strengths can become a weakness. Sometimes we just get used to comfortable complacency. I had to take responsibility for both. You see, I could tell you the dreams of my spouse, children, and countless others, but I no longer knew what my dreams were. Though I was purposeful in what I was doing and even found great joy in it, a big part of me became buried. I needed help in excavating those hidden parts of Steph. Often, we just need permission and space to actualize our deepest desires and get back on track. Yes, that meant facing fears, dealing with some failure and courageously taking steps to bring positive change to this season of my life! I did it with the help of a Life Coach and now as a Life Coach I would be honored to help you!
