Hi lovebug,

I was talking with a Zumba student turned client turned friend the other day. 

She said these words, “I think I have you on a pedestal. You always seem to have things so figured out.” 

HA.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

_{Wait… wait. Let me catch my breath.}

HAHAHAHAHA.

I said to her, “I’m gonna need you to take me off that pedestal and bring me right back down to earth, please. I do not have things all figured out.” 

You know why I love coaching? Because I have been where you have been, like, in almost every way and I KNOW what it’s like. 

Here.

Let me go down the list of the tough stuff I’ve gotten through in my last forty-eight years:

Health crisis? 

I came out of the womb sneezing. My body is weirdly allergic to this world. And I’ve been sick so many times. 

Financial struggle?

My financial life has been such a nailbiter. Up and down and up and down. 

Heartbreak and rejection?

Both initiated by me and received from others - over and over and over again. 

Divorce.

Ugh, there’s a whole story there. 

People pleasing to my detriment? 

For like, most of my life. 

Spiritual awakening that effed me up for years because I was always tranced out?

Oh that definitely happened. 

Acute pain that caused me to lose EIGHT POUNDS because my only comfort was in walking? 

Yep. One of the hardest things I’ve been through.  

Chronic pain resulting from something I still haven’t figured out?

Still living this one every day.

Trauma?

On so many levels. 

Misery in corporate work to get myself back on my feet financially?

For seven long years. 

Isolation, loneliness, wondering why I’m here. 

Yes. That theme has woven itself through my entire life. 

And I’m sure there’s more, but you get the damn point. 

They say that people who are healers have to go through major suffering so that they can help others. 

For some reason, my soul was like, “BUCKLE UP KIDDO! You’re IN FOR IT.” 

And, AND —I have had a beautiful, miraculous life. And I’m only halfway through.  

I do my best to offer solutions and ideas and energy work and spiritual insights and motivation and encouragement and genuine love to you that—hopefully— YOU CAN FEEL COMING FROM ME…  because babe…  I understaaaaand just how hard Earth School can be. 

I have been exhausted, depleted, depressed, terrified, anxious, hopeless, lost, alone, panicked and wondered how I could go on. 

In order to help myself get out of all the messes I’ve been in, I’ve done massive amounts of study, research, investing, training, reading, meditating, talking and pleading with God when I didn't know what to do.

I’ve been blessed to have had SO MANY wonderful people in my life help me when I was at my lowest points. 

In short, I’ve suffered and struggled and if I can help you, I would love for you to struggle and suffer less than I did. 

I hope that even if we never meet, my words can serve as one more person in your life telling you that you are not alone. 

Whatever you’re facing, the Earth has got you. The Universe is supporting you. There are answers and help and support for you no matter what’s going on. 

Higher Power, whatever that is for you, is there for you – even when it doesn’t feel like it. 

I don’t have it all figured out. 

I don’t have all the answers. 

I’m learning and sharing right alongside you. 

We can do this. Day by day. 

Good days and hard ones too. 

Big hugs,

Rebecca*
