Hello Lover's! I'm so glad you're here and able to share this space with you.
My love journey started quite some time ago, and if I'm being honest, it's one that I am still actively navigating. Like so many I was living a normal and happy life. I worked hard to make my way through school while working full-time and being a single parent. I landed a job doing exactly what I went to school for; I was in a great place financially and on my way to purchasing my first home. I had a supportive family and friend group around me. My children were happy and thriving and had a better social life than their mom. But something was missing... I was happy and going through the motions of life but found those motions were only filling my cup half-way.
Being a woman and a mother it is embedded into my DNA to be a nurturer and a care-giver. It's in my core to give and make sure those around me are ok and their needs are being taken care of; it's this same drive that helps me successfully coach my clients and feed into helping them achieve their full potential. As a little girl I was taught to take care of others but no one taught me how to take care of myself. Don't get me wrong, my mother was great. It was the teachings and lessons she has instilled within me that has helped me excel and achieve anything I set my mind at accomplishing. I watched her work two jobs and do whatever she needed to do to put food on the table for me and my siblings. Her example as a mother, wife, daughter, and friend is the model I was given and one I carried with me into motherhood. The love of a mother is so effortlessly, we would do any and everything to make sure our children are taken care of and their needs are met. It doesn't just stop with our children, it extends into all of our relationships. This often means neglecting your own needs for the sake of theirs. This is what a good woman does; gives effortlessly without asking for or expecting anything in return. Right?!
I am here to tell you that way of thinking is out-dated programming that no longer serves. In order to love effortlessly and be there for others, you first have to stop and ask for what you need. Not only ask for it, but demand it and then take it. It's ok for us women to ask for what we need and to allow ourselves to fill that space with compassion and love of self to take the time and space to refill your love bucket. Self-love comes in many forms; we experience it through connection of self on a mental, physical and emotional level. Ethereal Love Coaching is all about learning different ways to connect with your-self so you're able to fill your glass fully and continue pouring love into others.
My wish for anyone reading this is that you're able to connect with a little bit of yourself and leave here with a little more love and self-awareness so you can be the love that keeps giving.
