Lost and Finding Joy

Let me tell you a story when longing and discontent inspired me to make a change.

Kevin and I owned and operated a business back in Memphis, TN for about 15 years. I was beginning to feel a lot of discontent because I felt like this business was taking so much of my time and energy, that I didn’t have enough to spend with my children. I also had a longing to do my own thing, which was to help others. I wasn’t sure exactly what that would look like, I just knew I had the desire to do it.

We ended up selling the business and moving 6 hours away from Memphis. I thought I was FREE. I was finally free to spend more time with my children and I was free to explore what I wanted to do on my own in the area of helping others.

Well…not long after we moved to this new area — within a few months — Kevin started doing the same work again, only part time.

One night I was at a women’s event at church and Kevin was waiting for me in the foyer. He had met and been speaking with another guy while that guy’s wife and I were in our meeting. Kevin introduced me to him and told me that he was new to the area and was looking for work. He then proceeded to tell me that he had hired him to work with us.

I knew what that meant. That meant we were back in the business full time and that I would be spending my time and energy working in the same business, doing the same thing I’d been doing for more than 15 years.

In that moment I made a DECISION.

I knew I was going to help with that business…AND…at the same time I was going to pursue my longing of helping others.

With the awareness that I had at that time, I didn’t know if I wanted to be a community counsellor, a psychologist, or even a psychiatrist. I just knew that any one of those choices would require a college degree. So, I went back to college to pursue a psychology degree.

I had been in college for two semesters when I discovered a psychology quiz online which led me to an online program that I took. That program led me to the Life Mastery Institute, where I discovered what a Life Coach was. As soon as I made that discovery, I KNEW that was it! I knew I had found what I’d been longing to do.

I applied and was accepted into their life coaching program. I went through rigourous training and became certified as a DreamBuilder Coach and a Life Mastery Consultant. I wanted to soak up everything they had to offer, and I did!

I applied all the things I learned in the proven, reliable, repeatable systems that I teach, and I can honestly say that I am thrilled to be living a life I absolutely love — helping others to listen to their longings and discontent and to discover and build their dreams so that they too can live a life they love living.

AND…Now I have all the time I desire to spend with my children and now even my grandchildren. It just doesn’t get much better than this!
