I left my job!!!! I found some clients and actually made some money right out of the gate. I’ve trusted my intuition and turned away work, even though that’s not something you’re “supposed” to do when you’re first starting out. I’m learning to speak my truth and hold space for myself to step in my bigness - no longer waiting for others to do it for me. I’ve learned to trust my body and my energy and if I can’t get into flow or I’m just not feeling things, I’m listening to what my body is asking for and adjusting accordingly. And I'm writing a book!!!

I can finally see a life outside of the government. Even though it’s scary at times and I have no idea right now how I’m going to continue to sustain this moving forward without actively soliciting clients, for the first time I feel like I can give myself the time to figure it out - that I don’t have to do things the way everyone expects - and if anything, I’m here to show the world that there are other ways of living and being in this world.

Well I have a successful business! And I have clarity on what I offer and reworked it multiple times getting closer and closer each time. I can now see a life where my abundance and my ideas can co-exist. I remember what it feels like to be in charge. I am not taking care of everyone else first. My partner is her own entity and I am my own entity. A lot more feels possible. I have learned how to harness my brain and my time and my momentum. I am going easier on myself. I am handling hard conversations better. Especially when it comes to money. I can calm myself faster and see a path more quickly. I have changed my environment, my crappy relationships, my freedom. I allow good things to happen to me. I allow myself to rest.

I immediately noticed the positive difference in my self after committing financially to this process. I had a sense of "I'm worth this." I saw internal results right out of the gate. The way you showed up for me was exactly what I needed - you allowed me to be me, you saw me, and that was transformational. Your transparency about yourself and your journey were instrumental for my journey too. Being able to leave RUMC with a sense of completion and finishing strong there was a significant accomplishment. To be able to decide to leave and be moving toward something and not running away from something was huge.

Because I originally came regarding decision making, I have seen the most change there. I have definitely been living by my own voice, and found it easier to find and listen to. I also don't really seek out speaking to others immediately when I am making a decision or a choice because I realize that that just makes things more confusing and muddled altogether. I am also seeing a big difference between myself and other graduates. I find myself more grounded, trusting, optimistic, and also living an epic life in comparison to others who have not grown. Or, relating to people who are my age and still in school has become difficult because they just put up with the status quo. I guess I also see a big difference in being more than ok with wanting what you want, in being able to go after it, and manifest it - that nothing is really too big it just takes bit by bit. A lot of my mentalities towards the future have changed as well as living up to "shoulds".

Our work together has been a big spark in helping me get to another level in my business, if not profitability-wise, mindset-wise. I've worked through a whole lot of emotional baggage during these 6-months related to my worth and business that was necessary for me to fully face before moving forward. This coaching container has been a sacred container for that inner work that needed to happen, with a little bit of outer work thrown in there. On top of that, raising my rates from $500 to $3,500 was a big deal, as well as landing a client at the $3,500 rate.

OMG, where to start... I quit my soul-sucking job at a private law firm and went out on my own to become the entrepreneur I've always dreamed of being. And not only am I now self-employed, but I have the clear vision of how I want to FEEL in my life, so that I can continually say "yes" to things that increase and amplify those feelings and say "no" to the (many things and seemingly shiny opportunities) that don't. The process of discovering my CDFs and our work together helped me hone my tuning fork, so that I can more easily see what the things are that amplify my vibrations and--in some cases, suddenly, blindingly--realize how many things in my life DON'T (or didn't). Now I have energy and a drive to pursue what is possible that I didn't before. Now I have clarity about what possibilities I want to pursue (building my empire! making my legal skills accessible to the inspired entrepreneurs who need them! encouraging others to lead from a place of strength and love instead of fear and negativity!) and which possibilities are lovely but ultimately will not bring me joy.

Wow! I am sitting in my new office, current headquarters of Amberlake Capital. My company! I just sent my wire instructions so I will actually get paid. I love coming to work, love the work I am doing and can see a clear path to having a significant impact on my clients' and helping them achieve their goals. The toxic state of my being under my old structure is so clear now. I could see it before, but couldn't see getting out of it. Now that it is behind me, can't figure out why I let it go on as long as I did! I am in control. I am confident that I am really good at what I do! I am tapped into my power.

I launched and then decided to shut down A180H. I started my clinical sabbatical, which evolved into a broader sabbatical where I've taken considerable time off of "work". I have made significant progress on the 4BQ, choosing to focus the future direction of the company on health coaching. I've also stepped further into the Visionary role. I've deeply appreciated your clear reflection, "unconditional positive regard", and wise insights. You've helped me to navigate a complex and difficult set of circumstances to arrive at more clarity for what I want the next 10 years to look like. Although the exact details aren't yet 100% clear, I now have a vision for the next chapter that I believe will not only be more satisfying and rewarding for me personally, it will also address the intractable challenges the business has been facing. The transition from here to there will be challenging, but when I think of what's on the other side, I feel a huge sense of relief.

I've been able to more consistently pull myself out of a fearful, lack-based mindset. I've been able to open the door to trusting myself a little wider. And I had the support I needed to make choices and take actions that were scary and that I may not have taken on without this support. The shift from a habit of presenting problems and feeling powerless to solve and decide on my own, to a new, very effective approach of presenting solutions first. You helped me value myself enough to ask for the raise I thought I really deserved - and get it. If not for your support, I think I would have ended up settling for 20% less money. You've helped me with my original goal of strengthening my connection with and trust in that 'golden thread' of intuition. I grew up with NO "gut feeling." I was actively taught to mistrust myself. In the last (what? 2 years?) I have become a person who has ready access to a 'gut feeling' about 60% of the time instead of 0%. And, even when I don't have access to it, I trust that it exists. I can't tell you the difference it makes, not only in my work, but in my personal life, to have confidence and trust in myself - in what is coming from/through me.

Systems and procedures are in place and we're working on continuously improving on them. Our workload has picked up and we're hearing about our reputation to do good work from new clients. Mission/vision/values have been defined and written down and we're continuing with progress on the employee handbook as well as starting to define roles/expectations of myself and employees. Coming together as a company family, hearing each other, supporting each other, and establishing procedures and a plan for our future has been such a huge accomplishment. Knowing that I can take a breath and things will be accomplished right even when I’m not involved was big a relief. Seeing the company continue to operate while I was out due to a death greatly increased my confidence in being able to be absent and not take the whole business down.
