This episode of Show Up On Purpose is a little bit different than other episodes I’ve shared before. You’ll get to hear firsthand from a former client of mine, Cassie, who completed my 3-month, Get to know Cassie: " "I’m not going to like it, but I’ll do it”.  The power that this quote has had over my life is impossible to communicate. I am a 35 y/o wife, mom, business professional who loves to laugh, see others succeed and try delicious foods. I come from a family of God first which has set the foundation for my strength. Behind that though is a life of pain, abuse and addiction that has broke me in more ways I can’t repair. Last year, I made the “selfish” decision to take a positive, unfamiliar leap into asking for help in healing myself. Kim has allowed me to fall apart while providing me the tools to build myself back up. Taking me from shame and desperation to waking up wanting to see today, looking in the mirror and smiling, dancing with my kids and singing like a mad woman in the car. Life is not always kind, being able to find trust and strength within myself through working with Kim is the reason I my authentic self today. Here's what we talked about: Why investing in herself physically, didn't have the impact she thought it would but when she invested in her mental + emotional self she finally felt grounded. How she re-wired her inner dialogue so she could start feeling confident in all areas of her life; especially with communication. How she finally felt like she could advocate for herself without feeling like she was bothering anyone. Realizing that "just getting by" was ultimately pulling her away from who I am.
