Receive the free guide for executive moms going through separation or divorce.
After my husband moved out, I was left alone and had to figure out how to start over again.
I had to become a master multi-tasker by both going to work at my demanding job as an executive while being a single parent and giving my kids stability.
To be honest, many mornings I just wanted to stay in bed. Which as many of you mothers out there know, is just not possible with 2 little kids pulling at the hem of your skirt.
One morning I woke up and realized it couldn’t go on like this.
I had to find a way to move out of this feeling of “numb-ness.”
I set out on a mission to use my pain as fuel to propel me out of bed each morning.
I began pouring myself into researching self development, neuro-psychology, cognitive behavior theory, and quantum physics.
While all this was helpful, I came to realize it was hard to find a process written out for my specific situation.
So I began taking learnings from every source and piecing them together into a process that would work to help my specific situation.
I allowed myself time to grieve the vision I had for my relationship. As I worked myself through this new process I created, I started to heal.
Here I am… feeling like a new woman, and wouldn’t you know it, I met someone new.
He seemed to fill the void in my heart by giving me the attention and love I felt like I was missing.
I thought I was over my first marriage and dove right in.
I stayed with him for 5 years. I thought I was living the dream.
Unfortunately this relationship put me through both emotional and physical abuse.
I realized I had gotten into a toxic relationship with the wrong person. He was skilled at saying just what I needed to hear in order to get what he wanted out of the relationship. And he did this at a time when I was vulnerable and broken after my first marriage.
Finally, my eyes were wide open.
I realized that I had jumped into a new relationship too soon (and with the wrong person.)
I learned not only how to escape from a narcissist but also, the warning signs of a narcissist so I could avoid that in the future.
I needed to learn how to truly embrace self-love. To learn to love myself before I was ready to give my light to someone else.
I learned you have to completely finish that process FIRST before meeting someone else. You have to learn to be happy with or without a relationship before you can learn to trust and open up again.
This time I dug DEEP into understanding why I went from one toxic relationship to another. I uncovered what was missing in the first process I built to come up with an improved 2.0 version of my method to rebound from a broken relationship.
Now I can speak from the standpoint of experiencing 2 divorces. And moreover, now I’m able to teach how to emotionally get through the heartache of a separation and stand back up FASTER than you’d otherwise be able to do on your own.
Now I can teach how to help your kids understand what you are going through. And how to choose your battles with your ex so you don’t have to fight anymore.
I processed my experience going through my separation through writing. I documented my entire journey and the steps I took to come out feeling BETTER on the other side of separation.
One day I saw a friend who hadn’t seen me in a year since my breakup and exclaimed, “What HAPPENED to you? You look AMAZING!”
She shared that she too was in the middle of a breakup and asked what I did to become so happy. So I walked her through step-by step what I did. And it helped her.
I wanted to use my experience to help other women do what I did. To be the support I wish I had when I was going through hard times.
I remember when I originally looked for help while I was going through my separation I could only find mantras like “time heals everything.”
OR the other option I found was going to counseling (which is a mixture of listening & spending time examining the past.)
The fact is… what I REALLY needed was a mentor who had “been there, done that” and truly understood what it would take to juggle kids, separation, heartbreak, and work all at the same time. I needed hands-on, practical advice I could use in the moment. While counselors were great listeners, most of them just couldn’t relate.
Moreover, I wanted someone to COACH me in the present moment and to help me work on my goals for the FUTURE and create a NEW life path. I needed a coach to help dig deep inside of me instead of just taking drugs to get to sleep.
With this in mind…. I set out to become exactly what I wished I would have had when I needed support.
I became certified as a coach at the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), a world-renowned coach certification and the golden standard of coaching.
My style is somewhere between a coach and a mentor (who has been there, done that).
I’m not your typical coach in that I integrate sharing theory on how the brain works into my coaching, to help you understand my coaching methods.
I currently reside in Switzerland. I love taking full advantage of this beautiful country by being close to nature. I live close to a river and spend my free time with my 2 kids swimming and hiking.
