A Courageous Woman’s Journey to a Joyous Life

This blog has a two-fold purpose. One is to invite you to a relaxing and empowering weekend retreat for women. The retreat will be Saturday, October 17 10:00 – 6:00 and Sunday, October 18 from 8:00 a.m. – noon. In this wonderfully relaxing and inspiring weekend retreat, Donáh Ollila and I will give you tools to thrive during times of uncertainty and change. We’re two experts on stress, health, and human potential drawing from latest research and personal insights to help you become more resilient. Everyone finds periods in their life where you feel “stuck”.  Both Donáh and I had to learn how to get “unstuck”.  And now we’d like to share with you ways that will help you get “unstuck”.  To have some fun, laughter and release from the mud.

The other purpose is to tell a bit about my story.  You see my story is probably the same as yours.

From time to time, we all experience “getting stuck”.  Being “stuck” is that feeling of uncertainty, loss or confusion about your next moves in life. Those feelings may come as a result of the end of a romance, the sudden feeling of emptiness as your child heads for college or the death of someone who has long helped you find joy in life.  Sometimes it sneaks up on you. Like when you suddenly realize you’ve lost your passion for the job you once loved, when you ache for intimacy but can’t seem to find it or, like me, you suddenly find the plans for your life off track.

About 10 years ago, I was a very successful, up and coming senior Human Resources Executive.  It was exhilarating to work with (not for) the best teams.

Then, the natural aging process got the best of my parents. I don’t think anyone can understand what it’s like to reverse roles with your parents until you have to do it. There’s no preparation, no training, no nothing anyone can tell you that will prepare you for what you’re going to experience.

That was the beginning of my period of “getting stuck”.  It took me 3 years to finally figure out what I needed to do to move on and re-gain my joy in life.  I spent the next couple of years figuring out what made me happy before.  Those lessons and the lessons of others are the basis for my coaching practice. Now I help others find their way out of a place that isn’t fulfilling into on that is passionate and rewarding.

Now I want to offer to you the chance to take one weekend to participate in exercises and activities that will activate your new life vision. This weekend is especially designed to teach you the how to find your joy.

Are you trying to juggle more and more everyday and feeling like you just can’t take on one more thing? Have you been taking care of everyone else for so long that you’ve forgotten how to value and appreciate yourself? Has your life changed in the last few years and you’re no longer feeling inspired, joyful and confident?  Are you ready for a change?

Do you have the courage to learn how to feel appreciated, powerful and beautiful? Are you ready to embrace happiness again or maybe for the first time?

Join us for an inspiring weekend workshop.  You’ll learn how the way you think prevents you from taking steps to happiness.  You’ll learn how to find the courage and strength to find your passion for living, to find your true purpose, to discover yourself.

Are you ready to:

  • Learn how your habits and sense of well-being are sabotaging your happiness.
  • Learn how to say no to what you don’t want and say yes to what you do want.
  • Learn how to visualize what you want and let your vision inspire you every day.

Join Donáh and I Saturday, October 17 at 10 a.m. where we’ll be sharing with you the secrets to finding your passion again.
