Happy 1 year anniversary to me! It’s been one year since I took and passed my PT certification course! A truly monumental moment in the course of my life.
Since then I have grown so much in terms of my vision of life, what success would look like, and even adding on more certifications (in the process of being a certified Integrative Nutrition health coach). It’s all a work in progress still, as I balance my new vision with the old…
I was unfulfilled in my life both professionally and health wise. My fitness journey started many years before my certification, but always fell to the wayside as I struggled with my mental health, and an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Particularly when COVID hit- I was having fun, sure, but I also was day drinking, night drinking, and drinking for activities. I felt like shit both mentally and physically. I was completely ignoring my spiritual side, and ignoring any connecting to presence.
I thought once my Freelance Film career took off and I would get more work I would be fulfilled, but with every project I felt more and more uneasy in my path. Each step I took towards my profession being solely in the film industry, took me further from a sense of authentic truth. I was clearly walking towards something I knew I wanted, but it was not my purpose- a sense of knowing that a service you provide to your community is what why you were put here on Earth to do.
Even now my career is 90% video editing and industry work. But, my commitment is shifting this year, as I feel I need to focus more on growing my community and health business- something I haven’t been able to do as much because my focus has been on my video editing career. A space I find much fulfillment in, but also a space where putting more of my time into it than my coaching business creates burnout and drains me.
My proclamation for my life is to be at my computer editing (both professionally and for the coaching business) 15-20% of my day (hopefully less ideally) and 75-80% of the time with people, out in nature, or nurturing my business in real world ways. I am so tired of always being in one place, in front of a computer, and being in my office. I want more MOVEMENT, PLAY, NATURE, EXERCISE, LAUGHTER, FRIENDSHIP, AND COMMUNITY. I state this here for not only the expectations for you as a participant in my business, but as a means to come back and reflect on the direction my life needs to move in.

I'd like to end on a note: CHANGE IS NOT LINEAR. IT MOVES FORWARDS, BACKWARDS, AND EVEN SIDEWAYS. DON'T YOU GIVE UP YOUR VISION BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU'D BE THERE BY NOW, OKAY?!
