I had dreamed of being an elementary school teacher for my entire life. Then one day, ten years into my career, I was sitting at a traffic light on my way to work. I had the startling realization that I was 32 years old and had 32 years left of teaching ahead of me.
That thought felt like a sucker punch.
I knew this wasn’t a life I would want for my daughters. So why was I settling for it for myself?
It was that moment when I decided that I wasn't going to settle. I was going to re-create my dream life. I threw myself into my personal growth, bound and determined to create a new plan for a life that I was truly excited about. A plan that didn't involve waking up my kiddos at 6am to rush off to a job that I had outgrown and was no longer passionate about.
And now? I'm a work-from-home mom, with a thriving family photography business and a coaching business that lights me up. Every. Single. Day.
Though my husband was supportive, my journey was lonely. When I finally got to where I wanted to be, it frustrated me to think other moms would have to do the journey on their own as well. That is why I became the personal growth coach I wish I had when I was in your position.
You don't have to do this alone, mama. Let's get you to your dream life, together.
