Speed Bump Coaching

When I was 48, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I bring this up, not because the journey from diagnosis to cure defines me in any way. I don’t consider myself a survivor. I’m not particularly brave. I was terrified and took drastic measures to get to a place where I wouldn’t be. The difference in who I was before cancer and what I become after is frankly not that remarkable.

I’ve thought a lot about why I didn’t experience the change that a lot of cancer patients talk about and made an interesting discovery. I didn’t need to because I already had. I’ve always dedicated myself to pursuing a life of curiosity and authenticity. Jumping in. Saying yes. Not risking regret. Trying instead of wondering. Embracing the good and bad, and appreciating the lesson.

With training and practice I support women faced with the speed bumps life often puts in our path. Working with clients to process the journey in a way that helps them face the challenge realistically. Encouraging them to embrace silver linings and to take that insight and live the life that these moments make us appreciate.
