My story did not begin with coaching. It began during a time when I had lost the relationship I had with myself, long before I had the language to call it that.

By 2012, several difficult years had left me overwhelmed, exhausted, and feeling completely alone. One night, I began seriously thinking about ending my life.

As I sat there, something happened that I still struggle to explain in ordinary terms.

I felt a hand on my shoulder when nobody was there. A calmness came over me, and I heard a simple message.

“Everything will be okay. You are here for a purpose.”

That moment changed the direction of my life.

The years that followed weren't about suddenly having everything figured out. It actually took another 10 years... That is when I began questioning my beliefs, the way I saw myself, and where that view of myself had come from.

Eventually, I realized that much of what I thought I was trying to regain, confidence, direction, purpose, self trust, came back to something deeper:

The relationship I had with myself.

That realization eventually became the foundation of Your Purpose Driven Life and the work I do today.

I didn't arrive at this understanding through a textbook. I arrived at it by spending years questioning my own life, my beliefs, and the way I had learned to see myself.
