My client came to me with a painful struggle present in her marriage. Her goal was to create some income for herself so she could leave her husband. It was clear to me that there were other competing issues, so my strategy with her focused on helping her become healthier before making any drastic decisions.
Through the process of coaching, we worked on forgiveness, setting goals, and healing her soul. As a result she was able to quit using recreational drugs and begin to connect with an authentic spiritual practice. In the process she discovered that she had been withholding her feelings, and so she made the choice to start to communicate honestly and respectfully instead. This was a real turning point.
As she made these changes, she realized that she was not really committed to leaving her marriage and she and her husband began to develop a more honest and loving relationship. When we closed our work together, she had completely refocused her attention on producing income with her art ~ with her husband at her side.
