RECOVERING PERFECTIONIST & PEOPLE PLEASER
FEAR CONQUEROR, TRUTH SEEKER, DREAM WEAVER
For the majority of my life I’ve been the epitome of a perfectionist people pleaser. My life was an act and I was the star performer, but it wasn’t my story I was living. I allowed what everyone else and society thought I “should” do or be become my reality. I worked myself to exhaustion morphing and changing to fit what everyone around me needed me to be because making them happy made me feel loved and validated. From competing in beauty pageants, to majoring in broadcasting because someone told me I’d make a great news anchor, to two marriages (and divorces) both based on co-dependence and my need to be seen as the “perfect” wife…I lost myself and my sense of worth and purpose.
I spent a lifetime allowing my fear of being truly seen keep me from truly living. I was convinced that in order to be accepted I had to be perfect. I was convinced that I needed someone else in my life to support me and that I could never make it on my own. I was stuck in my own recurring negative thought patterns and behaviors that kept me from being able to see my own light.
Sound familiar?
So what did I do to break free?
Well it took a BIG life event to rock my world, and then several more years of work to figure things out…but eventually and with the assistance of lots of great teachers, therapists, podcasts, books, and coaches I found my truth. What I discovered was that underneath all the masks and exhausting effort to appear perfect, was a perfectly imperfect and wonderful ME who people actually liked MORE! And once that truth was set free there was no stopping it.
I filed for a way overdue divorce from husband #2, began dating and eventually met a truly wonderful partner with whom I share a relationship based on honesty and transparency, my relationship with my son flourished, and my circle of friends became smaller but oh so much more meaningful. My yoga teaching became more authentic and my classes were overflowing. I manifested an on-line yoga presence that is earning me monthly income. I learned to scuba dive (a life-long fear!). And I decided to become a Life Coach!
I started attracting abundance in all areas of my life.
I found a new way of living that helped me to REIMAGINE my life.
And now, I’m ready and eager to help YOU reimagine your story! Let’s do this!
