To be coached or not to be coached…

Today, after sharing a recent experience,  a friend said the most beautiful words to me EVER:  “Kristina, you’ve changed!”  It was said with so much love and I welcomed the compliment gratefully and without an “awe shucks but…”

No buts about it, I have changed and I am so proud of it too!  Life happens, it moulds us, gives us knocks, hardships, joy, love, life lessons, and hopefully, with all of that, we change – for the better once we decide to get ourselves back up!

The past few years, I’ve referred to myself as Kristina 2.0 – I know I’m new & improved (although it’s been discussed I was already pretty darn good).  I feel it, I hear it and I see it – most times I can stand triumphantly in my change.  I’m not gonna lie though, it’s not always easy!

I’m a constant work in progress – we all are.  I’ve been asked the who, what, when and more about some of my life changes.  I hate to break it to you, there is no magic pill to swallow, no one could do it for me, I had to be willing to change – I had to take the leap of faith…

As I’ve written about in past blogs, my change began with a friend introducing me to GROOVE – I will be forever grateful for that!! From there, I discovered yoga, meditation and became more open to things I wanted to change about myself.  Most of my friends know that when I wholeheartedly love something, I scream about it from the rooftops!  I want everyone to drink from the water fountain and experience these life changing opportunities too.

I’d like to share my new passion and while I’ve mentioned before as well, I want to focus on it a bit. Several months ago, while in the depths of grief, life changes in work and personal life, I agreed to start working with a Life Coach.  I knew I needed direction, focus and accountability. Wow, am I ever glad I chose to invest in myself like this.  She is amazing and I’m not just saying it because she’s also a dear friend, I’m saying it because it’s true!  I’m saying it wholeheartedly that this is something worth looking into when you are open and willing to delve into your layers and discover your true self.

Now, it’s not always easy and I don’t want to scare ya, however, sometimes, the work is hard, overwhelming and challenging – I may or may not have delivered a few F-Bombs her way as we do the work!  Yet, you want to go back for more – yeah, she’s THAT good!  AND IT”S WORTH THE WORK!!!! Without going into the details of coaching  and what she does (I encourage you to check out her website here and see if it’s something that would benefit you)  it’s been layer after layer of unbelievable, mind blowing discovery of how I got to this point, what drives the decisions I’ve made & will make, what I can do to shine, see my path clearly, be more confident, believe, trust and so much more! She has provided me with the space to change, acknowlege my changes and she’s a dam good cheerleader for your success – so I can even welcome the words, “you’ve changed” cause yeah, baby I sure have and I’m better for it! #coachingsuccess #mysuccess

I wish you endless success, welcome change, love, inspirations and giving yourself a chance to discover YOUR 2.0!
