Kimmy Larson is a life coach and owner at Zen Boutique Life Coaching. She coaches clients through personal and family relationships and issues, career issues and life transitions such as changing careers and life after being in the military, police and other first responder fields. Career changes can be particularly challenging because your career can be such a large part of your identity that it is hard to separate yourself from what you do and also because it is challenging to change to something new and different. I believe one of the reasons people struggle in their personal life and changes in the career is that they get caught up in emotion and that prevents them from having a clear vision, goals and positive path forward. Without a clear path forward, emotion causes too many people to get stuck in a rut when instead they could be channeling their emotions in a direction of positive change. These are the things that Kimmy assists with and coaches you through. Hone your visions and goals with her. For more information on Kimmy and her services visit her website at the following link: https://www.lifecoachzenboutique.org/ In this episode, we discussed the past year and a half during the covid pandemic. We discussed the toll that took on people in general, but also on healthcare workers, police and firefighters who had to assist the sick and assist with social unrest and rioting.
