Open for business & scanning new horizons!
As I scan the horizon for my next career, I’m looking for a place I can call home.
I also realize that so much of my transformation manifested right here at home this summer due to the privilege of taking a break.
As a result, I want to open up my creative and life coaching services for anyone who might need them.
A few years ago, a woman emailed me, “What experience DO you have as a life coach, exactly?”
I immediately felt like an imposter. She was right, I thought to myself. I don’t have an official certificate. Who am I to call myself a life and creative coach?
And so, I metaphorically closed the curtains on my dream. I took down my Google listing. I removed my website bio.
Nearly two years later, I realized how ridiculous I was. Of course, I have the credentials and the success to help you.
In this case, the achievements aren’t mine - they belong to my beloved students, clients, and friends.
Chances are, if you’re reading this post right now, one of these many successes is yours. Don’t be afraid to comment; take credit for our work together.
Does one or more of these success stories apply to you?
🎓 You’ve been accepted to competitive internship programs and Ivy League schools thanks to your talent and my support.
💷 When you took one of my classes, you decided to change your major to English, graduating with a fulfilling career.
📜 I helped you get a job by reviewing your resume or contacting the right peeps.
✏ You have gone on to publish poems in reputable journals because your work is just that fricking good and because I pushed - and continue to push you.
🗞 You have gone on to attend highly competitive MFA programs, a destiny you deserved, but needed a push and killer new poems due to taking my class.
So, to respond to that woman who emailed me and my inner critic: Yes, I have experience as a life and creative coach. And I’d love to help you out.
I also decided to ditch the prices and work with people on a case-by-case basis.
