My client came to me in a state of overwhelm with her corporate job, which she hated. Her desire was to slow her life down so she could figure out what she really wanted. I viewed the crisis at her work as a wake-up call that her spirit was unhappy.
As we worked together it became clear that she was in a toxic environment not only at work, but also in her primary relationship. We focused first on becoming more efficient at work so that she no longer felt overwhelmed. As she gained more control over her experience, she began to make more empowered choices. She realized that in both situations she could not get what she wanted from her partners, and as she got stronger, she recognized that she deserved partners who were able to give her what she wanted, whether that be commitment or recognition of a job well done. She made the decision to transition from corporate to freelance work at the same time that she made the decision to leave her boyfriend.
When we closed our coaching relationship, she was exploring a new hidden passion ~ belly dance ~ and loving the freedom of freelancing with a company that gave her the perks and recognition she wanted.
