In March I got a job.

3 days a week, office 20 mins away but mainly working from home. It’s familiar work.
It’s exactly what I wanted.
Consistent work and income, with time to do what I love - coaching.
In December I wrote down what I wanted and I got it.
But before that - before I made the power move and asked the universe for what I wanted- I was a swirling mess of doubt and anxiety.
Looking for work is hard. What a perfect time to remember every single mistake I’ve ever made!
In December I could feel myself getting really heavy with self doubt. I was bogged. I was pushing hard and going nowhere. My previous MO was to keep pushing until I make it work.
But this time - in honour of my recent commitment to myself to do less pushing - I did something different. I called in other people. I reached out to people in my network and I even had a session with a career coach. These conversations created possibilities and lightness to a process that I usually loathe.
Now I felt like I didn’t have to figure it all out by myself.
Now I was able to remember some examples where I wasn’t crap at work. Just the opposite actually!
Now I could think about exactly what I wanted, rather than endlessly worrying about whether I met every selection criteria completely.
Now I had the freedom to write down exactly what I wanted.
And I got it.
Are you making a change or feeling like you need to? I would love to be in your corner. Message me for details on how we can work together. Change is tough. But it doesn’t have to be lonely.
