  What I do as a Health Coach When I am coaching, I am listening, I am educating, I’m offering tips, I’m holding you accountable. But all of this is in the name of support. What am I supporting? I’m supporting you, yes. But more specifically, I’m supporting your habits. Wherever you are right now, your habits got you here. Your current habits are bringing your current results. If you want to change those results, you need to change your habits. If you want to keep these results coming, you have to keep these habits going. As a Health Coach, I’m focused on supporting your habits. I help you identify old habits, quantify the results those habits are bringing you (for better or for worse) and help you see what things will look like with progress. Through that process, I help you build new habits. I help you start new habits.

And when we are feeling good about an accomplishment, we have the confidence that we will continue to reach this goal. Maybe even set the next goal. In other words, it gives us energy to go on to the next thing. I realize this is kind of a chicken and egg s...

When it comes to purpose, I have a unique perspective as I have been to many places as an avid traveler, and worked in many industries as a life-long learner and jack of all trades…master of none? Actually, I am a master of ONE trade. This one. Coach and confidant. I didn’t always know that. And that’s part of my perspective. I wasn’t sure about my purpose. I had it wrong in some ways, and other ways, I was simply afraid to claim it. I had to learn to lean into my purpose. Even while I was in a role that was perfect for me. My title was Health Coach, but I had to move into another phase of starting a business. My company was about health and wellness, but it had to fit into corporate settings and it had to be growing. So, while my days were spent helping people with their goals and being the very thing that I felt destined to be, even then, I wasn’t really doing that. I was just trying to fit into a box that I thought I wanted to be in. But, I didn’t realize that. At the time, the box...
