Everyone’s journey has a beginning…a beginning that is usually not picture perfect or how we may have dreamt it to be. This is how my story starts:
My Journey Starts Here.
1997 was the year of new things for me. I graduated from university with my teaching degree, I was about to have my second child and I was actually getting married. I felt like my world was aligning because I even got my dream job! Until THAT day…when everything started to fall apart…you know the day where the bottom falls out and you feel like you are in a tail spin and there is no way out!
In 2001 I became a single parent trying to make it from paycheck to paycheck. I put every ounce of energy I had into my career and missed out on raising my children. As I looked back I felt that I had failed as a mother…honestly I struggled with mom guilt for a very long time.
THEN, I took the most amazing training EVER!!!! Two thumbs up for Perceptual Control Theory. This training changed the way I saw myself…I had to do some serious reflecting. No one likes to re-evaluate their behavior but if you want to grow and change this is EXACTLY what you need to do!
Do I struggle and fall back onto my backwheels? ABSOLUTELY! But the difference is I now have the tools that I need to get off those backwheels. No more burning as much rubber as I used too! This is where my love for personal development started. The following is a quote that resonates deeply with me.
My personal development has gotten me to where I am today <3 I believe more in myself, I surround myself with people who share the same mindset as me and I am proud to say that my children have grown up to see me push past all my road blocks. This might have been the greatest gift I have given them.
