      <title>From 3 A.M. Panic to Peace: How I Fought for My Freedom and Won</title>

         Even though I spent nearly 2 years earning my Master Coaching Certification with Jai Institute for Parenting, studying Generational Pattern/Communication/ Connection/ Mindset/ Emotion/Regulation/ Boundary and Radical Reflection Coaching techniques--- I still found myself trapped in bouts of emotional dysregulation resulting in indecision, self sabotage and low self esteem. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56468;
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Books, Youtube University and Generic Group learning of the science and the tools didn’t help me fully.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           It got so bad I was waking up at 3am with a racing heart, questioning if my young daughter would be better off without me and with intense shame that my  life was not pristine and perfect. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56866;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           (Despite how it looked on social media.)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           All that to say, I know how painful it can be. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           To be able to say: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56842;) I’m free of the mind numbing effects of a lifetime of gaslighting and emotional/verbal abuse. (No, never physically.)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56842;) I’ve grounded my nervous system and enjoy full nights of rest. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56842;) And, I have a life where I no longer feel victimized, frozen in indecision and afraid of abandonment and manipulation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           The best part is I go to bed at night grateful for:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56911; How far I’ve come and how proud I know my Mom, now teenage Daughter, Younger sister, Aunties &amp;amp; Grandmothers are/would be of me for healing the legacy of the future Feminine Divine in our families. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56911;My community: the coaches, mentors, friends, confidants, teachers and family that allowed me a safe space to receive and to give and grow, without judgment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56911;The opportunity to build a heart led business based on passion, purpose, permission, personal authority, and power after pain.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           So, even though there’s a part of me that thinks I’m sharing too much about my life’s work, my deeper truth is that I’m only able to be here authentically like this because I chose to commit and invest in myself via personal development and coaching.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Notably, sharing my story isn’t at all about me seeking sympathy—it’s about how I can use that journey to serve others.  &amp;#55356;&amp;#57263;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           What I want more than anything is to help women who feel emotionally broken, stuck in functioning depression, and wondering if they’ll ever feel connected to themselves again realize that with Consistensitency, Compounded Effects and Community life can have a whole new meaning.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           I'm proof AND I'm here to help. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Have you ever wondered if healing could truly change your life—or if you’d stay stuck, no matter how much you tried? 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you (or any woman you know) struggles with a spiraling foggy and confused mindset, shattered nervous systems, and/or recovery from narcissistic abuse– I’d be honored to support you (or someone you care about). &amp;#55356;&amp;#57147;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Life is too short to live without freedom and personal authority. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

         I can’t believe I’m about to say this....

  &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
    
          I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but it’s time to come clean. &amp;#55357;&amp;#57000;
         &#xD;
  &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Even though I’ve spent years working on my mindset, healing my nervous system, and recovering from narcissistic abuse… &amp;#55357;&amp;#56468;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           I’ve been downplaying just how transformative my journey has been. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56490;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Healing feels so deeply personal that I’ve kept many parts of my story to myself. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56852;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           But I’ve realized that holding back means I’m not making the impact I’m here to make.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56613; So today, I’m turning the page. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56613;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are so many women who feel emotionally broken, stuck in functioning depression, and wondering if they’ll ever feel connected to themselves again. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           I want to show you that healing is just the beginning—you have the power to grow and create a life beyond anything you imagined. &amp;#55356;&amp;#57119;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           &amp;#55357;&amp;#56481; Soon, I’ll share how I found permission, personal authority, and power after pain. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56481;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you believe it’s time for me to stop holding back and start making a bigger impact, drop me a note. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56492;
          &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your encouragement would mean the world to me. 
          &#xD;

      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Welcome to Permission!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/9e0cea4d/dms3rep/multi/365387440_10160840786260140_4434902867127227104_n.jpg"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Hello and welcome to Permission.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Today, I want to share something deeply personal with you—my fears. I hope that by opening up about my vulnerabilities, you’ll see a reflection of your own experiences and understand how Permission, my coaching program, has helped me navigate these challenges. Here are three things that terrify me as a mom and a single Black woman in America.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           1. Being Visible to Promote My Coaching Brand
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Starting my coaching practice, Permission, was a dream come true, but it also brought to the surface one of my deepest fears: being visible. The imposter syndrome was a constant companion, especially as a parent coach. During the pandemic, parenting was the hardest for me. We were grappling with the effects of my daughter's undiagnosed ADHD. I thought I had to be perfect first, and I believed she had to be perfect too. The fear of judgment and gossip kept me frozen. I worried about what people would say if they knew about our struggles.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           But through the principles of Permission—awareness, ownership, and regulation—I learned to acknowledge and embrace my imperfections. I realized that my experiences, both the struggles and the triumphs, made me a more empathetic and effective coach. By being open about my journey, I can help others see that they are not alone, and that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           2. Early Death and Leaving My Teenage Daughter Alone
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The thought of an early death and leaving my daughter Parker to navigate the world alone terrifies me. This fear, rather than paralyzing me, motivates me though. It drives me to dive deeper into personal development so I can equip Parker with the tools she needs to survive and thrive on her own.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Through my work with Permission, I have embraced the importance of teaching her resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. These are not just abstract concepts; they are daily practices. Every day, I strive to model these behaviors for Parker, showing her how to face challenges head-on and make empowered choices. The work of personal development is never-ending, but it is the greatest gift I can give her.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           3. Anxiety and Depression for Women and Young Girls
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Anxiety and depression are pervasive, particularly among women and young girls, and this reality scares me deeply, too. It’s one of the main reasons I do the work I do as a coach. I want women to know they have a choice, that everything they need is within them.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Permission is about more than just individual coaching; it's about fostering a sense of community and connection. I believe in the power of connection as a top value for my life and my coaching brand. I want women to know they don’t have to do it all on their own. Through my coaching, I emphasize the importance of building supportive relationships and networks. We thrive when we connect, share, and support one another.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Conclusion
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Sharing these fears with you is not easy, but it's an essential part of my journey. Being a mom and a single Black woman in America comes with unique challenges, but it's through facing these fears head-on that I find my strength. Permission has helped me transform these fears into motivation and action.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Manifesting My Best Life with Permission: From Dreams to Reality</title>

           I'm done going back and forth... (iykyk)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;

           Do you ever catch yourself daydreaming about the life you truly want to live? Maybe it's a career change, a new relationship, or simply a sense of inner peace and fulfillment. Whatever your aspirations may be, the journey from dreaming to reality often begins with a powerful concept: PERMISSION.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My Real-Life Success Story
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Let me share my personal story. For many years, I felt stuck, unable to break free from the fears and self-doubt that held me back. I knew I had a passion for helping others and a dream of becoming a life coach, but I was afraid to be visible and to take that leap. It wasn't until I started to grant myself permission to truly explore and embrace my desires that things began to change.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I’m using the very principles I teach in my program to transform my own life. By clarifying my vision, believing in myself, setting clear intentions, and taking aligned actions, I’ve started to see my dreams take shape. Today, as I launch my coaching program, I am living proof of the power of permission. You are watching my dream of being a coach manifest in real time, right before your eyes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Without granting myself permission, I wouldn't be here sharing my discoveries and launching my coaching program after so many years of being afraid to step into the spotlight. This journey has not only transformed my life but has also equipped me with the tools and insights to help others do the same.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Granting Yourself Permission
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In our journey through life, many of us unknowingly carry self-imposed limitations. These can stem from societal expectations, past experiences, or simply a lack of belief in our own potential. The idea of granting oneself permission is transformative because it encourages us to break free from these constraints and embrace our true desires and aspirations.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Manifesting your best life starts with intention. It's about defining what you truly want and aligning your actions and thoughts with that vision. This process isn't just wishful thinking—it's a deliberate practice of setting clear goals, visualizing success, and taking inspired action steps toward your dreams.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : Take time to reflect on what you genuinely desire in different areas of your life—career, relationships, personal growth, health, and more. Write down your goals with clarity and detail.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : Cultivate self-belief and confidence. Remind yourself that you are worthy of achieving your dreams and capable of overcoming obstacles along the way.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : Use techniques like visualization and affirmation to reinforce your goals. Visualize yourself already living your dream life and affirm your ability to manifest it.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : Break down your goals into actionable steps. Consistently take small, meaningful actions that move you closer to your desired outcomes. Each step builds momentum and reinforces your commitment.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           The Role of Permission Coaching
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As a coach specializing in permission, I've seen firsthand how transformative this process can be. My coaching program, "Permission," empowers women to grant themselves permission to live authentically and pursue their dreams boldly. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Embrace Your Journey
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Remember, manifesting your best life is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience, persistence, and a commitment to honoring your true desires. By granting yourself permission and taking intentional steps toward your goals, you can create a life that reflects your deepest aspirations and brings you fulfillment beyond measure.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>How Clear Values and Principles Protect Me from Self-Abandonment</title>

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When you know better, you do better!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Within the past several years, I've discovered the profound impact of having clear values and principles on preventing self-abandonment and fostering confident decision-making. This realization is deeply rooted in personal experience, especially when it comes to navigating relationships.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h4&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Navigating Relationships with Values and Needs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Picture this: for years, I stumbled through relationships (and friendships) without a clear understanding of my own values. I found myself repeatedly drawn to partners who didn't align with what truly mattered to me. The allure of these relationships often masked deeper issues, leading to cycles of emotional turmoil and disillusionment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One pivotal moment stands out—a relationship where I felt increasingly unfulfilled, yet unable to pinpoint why. It wasn't until I began my journey of self-discovery through coaching that the mystery started to unravel. With the guidance of professionals, I learned to identify and prioritize my core values. This newfound clarity empowered me to break free from damaging patterns and make choices that honored my true self and worth.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           The Drama Unfolds: A Personal Revelation
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Amidst the emotional rollercoaster of conflicting values and grossly unmet needs, I realized the power of knowing oneself intimately. Each relationship served as a lesson, highlighting the importance of aligning my choices with what truly resonated within me. By acknowledging my values, I gained the strength to walk away from relationships that no longer served my growth, despite the initial heartache.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           How Values Shape Your Life
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Understanding your values isn't just about making better decisions—it's about reclaiming your authenticity. When you honor your values, you cultivate a sense of self-respect and confidence that permeates every aspect of your life. This journey is central to the Permission program, which guides individuals through assessments and reflections to uncover their unique values and needs.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           The Permission program begins with foundational modules designed to deepen your understanding of values and needs:

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            : This module focuses on self-assessment and acceptance, helping you recognize and articulate your needs clearly. By exploring past experiences and beliefs, you gain clarity on patterns that either support or hinder your growth.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;

           Take Charge of Your Narrative

  &lt;/h4&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

            Hello and welcome to Permission.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Today, I want to share a deeply personal journey with you—how I transitioned from being the strong friend that nobody checked on to someone who embraces self-care and boundaries. This shift not only improved my well-being but also transformed my relationships. I hope my story resonates with you and encourages you to seek the support you deserve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Taking Responsibility: Changing My Perspective
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For a long time, I prided myself on being the strong friend, the one everyone could rely on. But over time, I realized this role came at a cost—I was often left feeling drained and unappreciated. The first step in my transformation was taking responsibility for my own well-being and recognizing that I wasn’t a victim of my circumstances. I stopped seeing myself and others as victims and acknowledged that everyone has the ability to take care of themselves.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Setting Boundaries: Recognizing My Needs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the most empowering changes I made was studying, placing, and reinforcing my boundaries based on my needs. I learned to say no without guilt and to prioritize my own well-being. These boundaries were crucial in maintaining my mental and emotional health. They also allowed me to respect others’ abilities to manage their own lives without feeling the need to step in constantly.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Taking Responsibility for My Life
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           By taking responsibility for what I wanted in life, I proved to myself that other people can do the same. I focused on my goals and aspirations, understanding that my happiness and success were in my hands. This shift in mindset was liberating and empowering. It also helped me see the potential in others to take control of their lives.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Investing in Professional Support
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the most significant steps in my journey was investing in professional coaching and therapy services. Instead of burdening my friends with my problems, I sought help from experts who provided the guidance and support I needed. This not only lightened the emotional load on my friendships but also encouraged my friends to seek professional help for their own challenges.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Encouraging Professional Help
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I cannot emphasize enough the importance of seeking professional help. Whether it’s coaching or therapy, professional support can make a world of difference in preserving your relationships and your mental health. As a coach, I’m here to offer the guidance and tools you need to navigate your challenges and build a fulfilling life. By investing in professional help, you’re taking a crucial step towards self-care and empowerment.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I believe in getting practical and hands-on, not just sticking to theory. Our work together focuses on making real-life changes that you can feel and embody, not just learn about. Every week together, we’ll explore actionable strategies and practices that fit your day to day life and help you achieve your goals with confidence and clarity. We’ll work and re-work it until it’s second nature.
          &#xD;

            Hello and welcome to Permission!
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you're new here, you might be wondering, "What exactly is coaching?" You’re not alone—many people are curious about coaching but aren’t entirely sure what it entails. Let’s dive into what coaching is, how it works, and why it might be just what you need to find more joy and authenticity in your life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           The Essence of Coaching
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At its core, coaching is a partnership between a coach and a client aimed at helping the client achieve their goals. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing past wounds, coaching is future-oriented, emphasizing growth, self-discovery, and actionable steps toward desired outcomes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What Makes Permission Coaching Unique?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here at Permission, my coaching practice is grounded in a solid framework and structure. My top value is emotional safety and I highly value personal choice, authenticity and development.  Our sessions together integrate the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring a comprehensive and deeply transformative holistic experience. My approach is rooted in evidence based neuroscience and psychology, providing you with tools and models that are scientifically proven to work. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When we work together we’ll have regularly scheduled 60-90 minute video call coaching sessions with defined objectives. Our private and confidential conversations explore feelings, patterns, knowledge, wins, loses and embodiment practices. There is written course material, videos, books and progress assessments. The environment is fluid, supportive, understanding and guaranteed to produce tangible results when the work is properly done. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Permission was created to help women break free from societal expectations and truly embrace their authentic selves. Our coaching sessions are designed to help you make empowering FULL BODY YES (or no) choices. You’ll learn how to intimately know yourself, express your true voice, and develop emotional awareness.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           Why Choose Me as Your Certified Coach?

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Working with a certified coach ensures that you’re getting professional, proficient, and ethical support. Certification means that I have undergone rigorous training, adhere to a strict code of ethics, and am committed to continuous learning and development.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           My certifications ensure that you receive high-quality care and effective guidance and care on your journey.

           I’m so thrilled to introduce myself and share a bit about my journey and the heart behind my coaching practice.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           A Journey of Holistic Healing
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           From an early age, I've been passionate about understanding the intricate connections between the mind, body and spirit. I’ve always been an old soul in search of the root cause of an issue. As a 3rd grader, I was eagerly reading Prevention magazines. For those who aren’t familiar, Prevention is a magazine founded in 1950 and is a leading provider of trustworthy health information. It empowers readers with practical strategies to improve their physical and mental health. At any rate, my path has taken me through various fields, including becoming a Neuromuscular Massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, and, as of 5 years ago, a Master Parent Coach. Each step has enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to holistic and transformative healing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why Women? Why Now?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Throughout the past few years, while parent coaching, I've noticed a common thread among many women – a longing to break free from societal expectations and truly embrace their authentic selves. This realization inspired me to create Permission, a coaching practice dedicated to helping women like you grant yourselves the permission to live confidently and powerfully. Permission to make empowering FULL BODY YES (or no) choices!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           My approach is rooted in psychology and neuroscience, providing you with tools and models to intimately know yourself, express your true voice, and develop emotional awareness. Unlike traditional coaching, my practice integrates the body, mind, and spirit, ensuring a comprehensive and deeply transformative experience. I offer nurturing and challenge.
          &#xD;

            Welcome, Insight Seekers, to a space where secrets aren't just shared but celebrated.

            Today, I unveil a secret that could revolutionize your entire life experience.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

            Let's tap into the unseen force of
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           self-awareness
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           .
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In its essence, self-awareness is the ability to observe and understand oneself—the thoughts, emotions, and actions that shape our existence. It's the internal compass guiding us through the labyrinth of life, empowering us to make conscious choices and live authentically.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why do I hail self-awareness as a superpower and cornerstone of my life’s purpose as a Life Coach?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Self Awareness is my calling card because it's so far beyond just understanding ourselves. It's about leveraging that understanding to navigate challenges, build meaningful relationships, and pursue personal growth.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Recently, my eyes opened to a revelation—how my well-meaning yet critical nature affected my 12-year-old daughter. The absence of words of affirmation and praise impacted her personal development, self-esteem, confidence, and communication skills. This realization has sparked a humbling catalyst for immediate and focused change. It's not just about unlocking the superpower within but using it to foster positive connections with those we adore the most, our beloved children.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As I strive to BE better for my daughter, and knowing that you'd also want to BE better for you and yours— I gently ask just three questions:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ol&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            What areas of life might you be blindly unaware?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            How does it feel to consider that in your daily routines, you might unknowingly be causing unintended pain to yourself or others?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Are you intrigued about learning how authentic self-awareness can contribute to strengthened relationships by enabling you to bring your true self into connections, fostering trust and intimacy with others?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If these questions resonate with you and you find yourself curious about deepening your self-awareness journey, I invite you to consider exploring my coaching services. I help women understand themselves better so they can take action and live out their passion.
          &#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           And, if you ask me—you deserve this, it's the best!!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With soooooo much love,
          &#xD;
