Last year around this time (March 2023), I felt lost. I was working a corporate leadership job and while I loved my team, I didn't feel the same passion for the job as I once had. I originally saw myself climbing the ladder and possibly becoming an executive one day until it just didn't seem like the reality that would keep me smiling.
I have always longed to feel fulfilled in my job and to make others proud of me, but I was no longer proud of myself. I first tried finding myself by getting bariatric surgery which resulted in a whopping 120 lbs weight loss. I then quit drinking which opened up more doors for me. But every day I dreaded going to work, was another day I felt drawn to something more. The problem: I had no idea what else there was for me, and I didn't even know where to start!
I hired and incredible career coach in May of 2023 to try to find clarity in where I wanted to go and what I wanted to be. She had me do an exercise where I wrote a letter explaining exactly where I would be in one year from the day we coached. I wrote about a beach house and my dogs running in the sand, I could smell the fresh air as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warm sun on my face. My husband was sitting next to me, and our girls were building a sandcastle as we enjoyed the time together.
My coach had recommended I read the book "Infinite Possibilities" by Mike Dooley and even gave me a copy with her warm wishes inside. She then offered a course on the book which I quickly signed up for because I wanted more.
The story is longer than what I'll write here but I quit my job of almost 9 years in July of 2023, went on vacation to the beach a couple weeks later, started my own business in September of 2023, launched my podcast in Feb 2024, and I'm now teaching this course on Infinite Possibilities for others to find their path as I have found mine.
For so long, I have just been waiting for life to happen to me and waiting for things to fall in my lap. Except so much of my life is also what I have created for myself and now more than ever, I realize how much control I have over my future.
Also, I use audible for all my books so I can listen on 2x speed for my ADHD brain:
