Hi, I’m Teresa!
A few years ago, I rather abruptly left my job after 27 years in the same profession. I didn’t give thought to or have a plan for what I would do next. I just knew it was time for me to go, and I did. Retirement was sounding pretty good to me.
That first morning in January with nowhere to go and no rush to do anything, I was completely lost. I felt a blend of relief, disappointment, uncertainty, excitement, sadness, and confusion.
After a lot of self-talk and long walks, I took a deep dive inward, got in touch with what I truly desired, and seriously thought about how I wanted to spend my time and live my life. After all, what did I have to lose? At that point, I felt like I was on a trajectory to nowhere except older. ha-ha
It took some time and a long pause, but I came to fully understand the meaning of the quote, “New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.” – Lao Tzu.
For the first time in my life, I chose the help of a Life Coach. I was amazed at how my plans, dreams, and goals had gotten buried and how I was carrying false beliefs that didn’t serve me well. Once I accepted that I had so much more life to live and many gifts to share, my life began to open up to new opportunities and possibilities.
The one thing that kept coming up for me repeatedly was how much I enjoy female camaraderie. I get lit up when I can share experiences and wisdom and have deep, meaningful conversations with women, especially like-minded women.
Becoming a Certified Life Coach and specializing in coaching women beyond midlife is my dream come true! I feel like I have been training for this for decades. In reality, I suppose I have been.
I started my Life Coaching career working with women individually, 1:1, and quickly learned from my clients that we share very similar challenges, insecurities, and desires. I feel confident in saying that we all want to live a life of happiness, joy, balance, meaning, and purpose. We all want a rich and fulfilling life! Through this deep realization, my idea to offer workshops in addition to private coaching was born. We have so much to learn from each other, and we share a natural ability to lift and support one another.
As a Coach, I teach, guide, and mentor women who choose to live their life fully and move gracefully and agelessly into the next chapter of their life. I am passionate about supporting women on their journey. For me, this isn’t so much a job or a career; it’s a way of life.
I invite you to consider for a moment that your maturity, experience, and wisdom are your gateway to the fulfilling life you are in search of. You, too, can bloom again!
