My mission here at The Energized Woman is to support visionary moms in reconnecting with the needs of their bodies so that they can continue to feed the callings of their soul.

 

I’m honored to have the opportunity to share some of my own story with you and what has led me to pursue this mission.

 

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a feeling that I was meant to do something great — something extraordinary — with my life.  I’m sure you can relate.  You might even be doing that “something” right now, in your own life.

 

You know, at your core, that living a regular, “status quo” kind of life just doesn’t cut if for you (and maybe you’ve even tried to fit yourself into this mold, but to no avail).

 

You feel such a strong calling to be of service, in a big, big way..to share your gifts…to really have an impact on others and the world.  And that’s how I feel.

 

But all of this gets lost, doesn’t it, when your focus each day becomes just surviving, just getting by, just making it through another day.  When you’re feeling less than your best, and your body just isn’t cooperating with your dreams.  You start to lose touch with some of the passion that ignited your dream in the first place.  You’re not fully available for your clients, for your spouse, for your family, and you’re certainly not available for yourSELF.

 

I know that’s what happened for me.  I got so lost in my roles of service…first in my career, then in motherhood, then as an entrepreneur, that I stopped being of service to myself.  I became a caretaker for everyone and everything, although if you had told me that’s what I was doing, I would have denied it and thought you were so far off the mark.

.

But all of this caretaking really took a toll on my body.  And before I knew it, I was no longer able to really be of service, at least not in the way I wanted to be, to anyone.

 

And I know that this is happening for a lot of other moms, the visionaries who are here to change the world.  And it makes me so sad.  Because I know what it’s like.  And I’ve been there.

 

And, occasionally, I still visit, though not as often, and for not as long..

.

And that’s due, in large part, to the journey I’ve been on for almost a decade now.  My own journey toward better health, toward a greater sense of well-being, and back to a foundation of  reconnecting with my body…and trusting in myself.

 

But it hasn’t been an easy process, that’s for sure.  There’s so much information out there; I just didn’t expect it to all feel so complicated.  And for a long time, I tried to figure things out on my own.  Asking for help has always been a challenge for me, and I would imagine that you can relate.  Once again, I naturally give to others, in the form of service, support, etc., but when it came to myself it was a whole other story.

 

One of things, that I’ve just come to realize recently, is that receiving is very hard for me.  And that has made it very difficult to receive help, to receive support.  I’m a long-term subscriber to the “no fun until the to-do list is done” approach, and I recognize how much that has affected me and negatively impacted my life.  This whole postponing joy and postponing pleasure really has to stop.  I am learning how to shift this, and, as I always say, I am indeed a work in progress. (which is challenging for me to admit with my recovering perfectionist always lurking ;-) .

.

So, what’s been holding you back from getting the support you need and deserve?  Are you still wanting to believe that you can do this all on your own?  My hunch is that since you’re here, there is a part of you that acknowledges that it’s time to bring in some help, to allow the support in…

 

and, you want to find someone who “gets it” and gets YOU.

 

Am I that person?  I just might be.  But even if I’m not, what really matters is knowing that there is support available, that there are steps you can take to create changes that feel good and changes that last. That it doesn’t take a complete overhaul, and that getting this support is going to actually catapult you into even greater success in your vision, in your relationships, and in all areas of your life.  (Yes, it really does have that powerful of an impact.)

.

I’d like to invite you along, on this journey toward health.

 

What I know for sure is that each of us is wise beyond what we give ourselves credit for, and I also know for sure that each of us is already worthy of our own time, attention, and energy.  Already worthy.  Already enough.

 

Let’s get back in touch with that wise woman inside each of us.  Join me on this journey, won’t you?
