YOUR VISION  YOUR LIFE 

YOUR WAY

YOUR VISION  YOUR LIFE

YOUR WAY

Are you ready … to put YOU back in Your life?

Looking from the outside in, your life is enviable right?

You are a professional, proud of your accomplishments and they are many.

You should be proud, you no doubt worked hard…very hard to get where you are in life.

On the inside though, you’re frustrated and overwhelmed!

You are struggling to keep up with the life you created. It was everything you wanted:
the education, the career, the mate, the children, the house, the cars, the trips, the social circle.

Yet somehow it doesn’t all feel as good as you expected.

Maybe it doesn’t feel good at all.

Is it possible that the life you're living isn't at all the life you planned?

It’s not only possible it’s quite probable. In fact, if truth be known
you may not have planned any of this.

Instead, you simply followed along in the footsteps that everybody laid out for you…
Your parents, extended family, religious leaders,
school faculty, friends, social media, and or society in general.

You are dancing as fast as you can, keeping up with all the demands,
all the demands of others.  Every part of your life now feels like a job you must do. 

You feel yourself falling behind and no matter what you accomplish
there is still much more to do.

You are exhausted
and at the same time you can’t quit…
the idea of giving up on all the things you have worked so hard to
achieve isn’t an option,
yet neither is continuing with what you are doing!

You tried it their way…you followed the rules…you broke some rules and NOW LIFE HAS YOU QUESTIONING ALL THE RULES!

If you are ready for a reset…ready to try a different approach, ready to bring back the balance in your life… ready to love the life you have then…

Let's get to work creating Your Vision, Your Life, Your Way!

YOU tried it their way…
YOU followed the rules…
YOU broke some rules and
NOW LIFE HAS YOU QUESTIONING ALL THE RULES!

If you’re ready for a re-set…ready to try a different approach… ready to bring back the balance in your life… ready to love the life you have then…

Let's get to work creating Your Vision, Your Life, Your Way!

“Whether advancing your career, moving past a personal or professional challenge,

or choosing to create meaningful  change, a coach is your

single most powerful tool.” -Forbes 

HOW to know If Coaching is Right For YOU? 

Coaching is about you being totally supported as we take a fresh and honest look at where you are, gain massive clarity on where you want to be, and carve out the roadmap (you want to follow) from here to there. 
Together we will:
  • Gain clarity around values and goals to ensure they are aligned and well-defined.
  • Create an action plan to balance multiple priorities and identify practical next steps.
  • Identify systems and processes that can provide a framework of support to drive the goals forward.
  • Dig into roadblocks and challenges to find solutions.
  • Work through doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs that could hinder progress or negatively impact the experience.
If you are ready to make a change or enhance a current situation…Let’s explore the possibilities!  
Does any of this sound like you?

Something has got to change.
You may have  a sense that something isn’t working, and you’re ready to figure out what that is.
It’s time… and you are ready to explore change. This could be anywhere on the spectrum of change – it doesn’t have to mean major upheaval.
You are not thinking straight. (attack of the Monkey mind)

You don’t even know what you think or feel anymore.  Your mind is crowded with thoughts that are vague, confusing, stressful, even downright scary.

What’s it all about anyway?
You lack clarity around what you’re working toward. Maybe you’re questioning whether you’re working toward the right things.
Or maybe you do know that you want something and have a few elements in mind that are non-negotiable, but aren’t sure exactly what those ideas could look like in real life, or how to get there from here.
You are stuck on the hamster wheel of life.
You know where you want to go but no idea how.
You know what you’re working toward, and you have a head full of ideas, you just need support to transform them into action plans and work through the challenges.
You cannot afford to fall apart.
Ever secretly plan a time when you can go ahead and have that well deserved nervous breakdown and then decide you are just to busy for that?
You are spinning and you know it and you are wondering who else knows it. You are captain of the ship…so many ships.  You have real world work to do, you are responsible for so many people and things. And It’s taking it’s toll.
You may be feeling disempowerment or disconnection from your goals and vision.  The way forward may not be as clear as it once was. And some of your dreams – career, financial, lifestyle, etc. – may seem either out of reach, or impossible without painful compromise.

MY APPROACH

In our work together, I will support you on what will no doubt be the most important journey of your life so far. We will go within and envision, design, and achieve a life that supports both your professional and personal lives with excellence.

You will begin to live and love a life of purpose…your purpose!

Together we will master your psychology: release fears, doubts, limiting beliefs, and insecurities and help you to create confidence and new empowering beliefs. 90% of success is a head game! (P.S..same is true for failure).

You are an action taker…always have been. Sometimes these actions are on autopilot and may not be in your best interest. Learn to take ONLY the actions that fit into your plan.

You will create time!⭐️Save time! ⭐️Increase clarity! ⭐️Make better decisions easily and confidently!

At the end of this journey, you will finally be able to answer the question of what do I really want from life. We will journey to find what really is most important to you in eight major areas of your life.

Fall in Love with you all over again…or maybe for the first time!

You will know, understand and be ready to commit to;

Who you have to BE

and What you have to DO

to HAVE  what you want in your life! 

 

It’s a journey and oh so worth it!

Let's Chat a Bit!

Let’s Jump on a 15-minute call to discuss
ways in which I can support you

If, at the end of that conversation,
we both feel your goals and my
approach feels like a good fit, then
we’ll schedule a second conversation
to discuss how we might work together.

No Sales Pitch from me.
No Excuses from you.
Let’s get some work done.

Kathleen Carlson has changed my life in ways I can’t begin to describe. She is authentic, loving and one of my all-time favorite people. In the time working with her I have left an abusive work environment, launched my business full time, and found my full center and authentic voice. She is brilliant!

“Kathleen is amazing! I spent about a half an hour talking with her, and came away with so many great business ideas and insights. Her ideas were very doable and fit both my personality and vision for my business. I can’t wait to get started on her ideas, and I can’t recommend her enough.”

I had been feeling “stuck,” and thought it might be a good to attempt to make sense of what I had been feeling. Not often do I take time and spend money on myself… I am so glad that I decided to partake in this group!

I gained so much clarity in just 8 weeks. It is interesting to look back on my initial vision to see just how much I have accomplished:

Show More
Fitness items – I love to feel healthy, and I do so when I exercise. I joined a gym and started working out at home. We even purchased an elliptical machine. I lost 12lbs!

A picture of a home – my husband and I found a home that made us both happy! We had not been actively looking, and it was a bit of a surprise, but it is ours now!

A picture of an office – I have 2 new offices: in my new home and my new job assignment

“Flexible Schedule” – I found an MLM that I can work in my pockets of time, so it is flexible, and maybe I can make it more than just a part time someday

‘Wellness is about Confidence” – this quote is huge – My confidence has skyrocketed!

There are things that I have not yet accomplished, and some of the things did not quite manifest as I had pictured. But, I have a better awareness of myself and my core values and what it will take to make me happy. I am happier now! I know that I am not done yet, and I still have things to accomplish and dreams to manifest.

 

Thank you Kathleen for opening my eyes to a more spiritual self and the cosmic kitchen! .
