Because, I learned that everything I had been taught about how the world works and what I thought I was supposed to do with this precious human life was egregiously false. I had been conditioned by -- well, just about everyone -- to believe that I couldn't have what I wanted, couldn't be who I wanted, and couldn't do what I wanted with my own life. 

Initially, I just wanted to lay down and cry over all the perceived wasted time, but I came to realize that nothing we do is ever wasted. Everything I had been through, had brought me to where I was and prepared me to embark on my current life path -- mentoring other beautiful souls and showing them a different way to live so they can experience a life of true freedom, fulfillment, and flow lived on their own terms. 

Like many of you, I entered midlife feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and lacking any real sense of direction or focus. For so many years, my identity had been tied to my career and being a wife and mother. I had no idea who I really was outside of those things, or what to do next. 

I was restless and felt stuck. I had a nagging feeling that something was missing in my life, and could feel a gentle tug nudging me onward to something new and different. I had no idea what that something was. I was disconnected from my inner guidance -- from my soul.

The only thing I knew for certain was that deep within there was something calling me to step into a bigger and brighter life, and I was craving more freedom, more fulfillment, and more flow in my life.
