"Help me find someone that knows how to help me." Those were my words in one of the most sincere, honest prayers of my life.
I knew that the sadness, resentment and fear I was experiencing did not have to be the norm. I just didn't know how to find my way out of it.
I had tried a lot of things--but none of them seemed to last very long. It wasn't two hours after that prayer that I miraculously met Jenn
It's time to get off of the fence and start changing your life. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Jenn not only coached me, she taught me the skills to coach myself. When I find myself feeling overwhelmed or resentful, I am now able to use the skills learned in coaching to identify the thoughts that are keeping me stuck.
Jenn helped me to see that I had everything I needed to be my best self. She coached me through learning to love myself again and as a result helped me to deepen the love in my marriage and in motherhood.
I knew I wanted to move forward with coaching, but I felt guilty about spending that money on myself. I'm so grateful to my past self for being creative and courageous. I figured out the finances and it's been an investment with high returns.
My husband and I had also been to a marriage counselor. The refreshing and empowering part of coaching is that the focus is much less on figuring out how you got to where you are, and instead is focused on providing tools for getting to where you want to go. Coaching is 'present' and 'future' focused, whereas counseling often emphasizes the past. I made more progress in my consult call with Jenn than in 6 sessions of marriage counseling.
My biggest "light bulb" moment was realizing that I had to power, regardless of my husband changing or not, to dramatically improve the quality of my marriage.
