My name is Nicole and I became a life coach to embrace the lifestyle of self improvement. I help others achieve their internal peace and fulfillment. Only a couple of years ago, my self worth was in the trenches. I had the belief that I wasn’t worthy of being in other people's lives. I was constantly putting others' needs and desires above my own. When my friends tried to support me, I pushed them away. Of course, this in turn failed my friendships. And I continuously felt like a burden and inconvenience. Since I never allowed myself to feel important, I was constantly trying to escape. I didn’t even know that I was numbing myself. I later learned I was not allowing myself to feel my emotions. I was binge eating, drinking, and sleeping to avoid my feelings. Asking for help was impossible. Instead, I suffered alone and only became a negative person. From that point, I had the biggest breakthrough that shifted everything - an outpatient program saved my life…. Outpatient program gave me space to reflect on what was important to me and what I wanted to create for myself. During this time, I was challenged to zoom out of my life outside of me and look internally. I was met with professional advice, accountability and companionship from my therapist. This helped me make decisions for myself. I wanted to like the person in the mirror, I wanted personal fulfillment from my career, and I just wanted to feel in control of my life. I dropped out of sports and AP classes and intentionally CHOSE to create a life that I wanted. Not a life everyone else expected of me. Now, I'm on the other side. I look in the mirror with confidence, I workout daily, feed my mind with healthy content, and I move through life without anxiety. The focus that I spent on myself made my life more peaceful. I have felt so good with my results, I’ve dedicated myself to helping others achieve the same results.
