For years, I struggled with pushing myself professionally for the wrong reasons. While I have always enjoyed my jobs, as well as being self-employed, I was working an average of 80 hours a week. Why? I thought it was due to the reward of helping others.
From 2010-2017, I felt off. Heart racing, 3-6 hours of interrupted sleep, lethargy, energy crashes in the middle of the day, irrational emotional outbursts and fatigue.
“I went to several doctors to get help. One said he had no idea what was wrong and admitted he couldn’t help me.”
Another put me on an anti-depressant, which added a whole new list of side effects. And the last doctor actually fired me, because I would show up at an appointment with my laundry list of issues.
In May 2017 I crashed because my brain and body couldn’t take it anymore. I was incapable of making decisions; was in massive overwhelm; and stressed was an understatement. I was experiencing what today is called Burnout, which in 2017 was not a widely recognized diagnosis.
What I learned through this crash was that I was functioning on beliefs that “I am not enough” and “will never be successful”. What do I do now that I’m aware of these negative beliefs? My amazing business coach at the time suggested I learn about Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). After a couple years of conversations, I finally took a weeklong course in January 2023.
Through the classes I learned how these beliefs were programmed into my brain, and how the unconscious mind caused me to repeat these negative behaviors around this programming. By 2023, I completed over 180 hours of classes on NLP.
“I learned how to change this programming, and I spend my time experiencing joy, greater energy and improved relationships. It has been so life changing, that I want everyone to experience this transformation in themselves.”
I am no longer on any prescriptions and have received a Master Practitioner Certification in NLP. This incredible journey has lead me to create Clarity to Authenticity Coaching.
