Do you ever feel like what you do everyday is just not your gig anymore? Do you ever feel like your body makes it there but your mind and heart never leaves the house? And, each day you wish for something to change to make everything better? And, you know something needs to change but you're not sure what or how? Do you ever feel nervous, scared, and just lost? Well, you're not alone. 

I felt like I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. How could I leave my co-workers who I considered friends? How could l call it quits knowing I'm not a quitter? How could I leave a job during an unemployment crisis? So many endless questions, so many dead ends, so many sleepless nights, so much anxiety and sadness. I knew something had to give. My heart just wasn't where it belonged!

I knew I needed help and motivation. I just wasn't sure where and how to find it. I decided to take my brother's advice to call this lady [Joellyn] who he said was able to make a dramatic change in one of our good friend's life and career. I got her name and number but hesitated for a few days. Deep down I was still hoping for a miracle to happen where everything would be great again without having to change. But sure enough, I felt stuck between a rock and a hard place again.

And that's when I picked up the phone and called Joellyn. After a quick introduction, I knew I didn't want to get off the phone. I felt like she was really listening and somehow had the right answers. And, the funny thing was, what she was saying wasn't necessarily what I wanted to hear. But it was the truth! I thought it was strange since it was coming from someone I never met before. Needless to say, I wanted nothing more than to have more time to express myself...to get it all off my chest and let this miracle listener give me all the right answers. So without any hesitation I booked my CAP session for the very next day.

After 2 + hours on the phone reliving everything, I finally heard myself admit that I was ready for a change. Then I also found out that it wasn't Joellyn who was giving me the right answers. She was just allowing me to speak from my heart and pausing to repeat my exact words when she heard the right answer. Her ability to listen and relate feels like rebirth.

If you've had enough but are afraid and scared of what's next, just ask yourself if you're ready to find out. And if you are, don't do it alone. I am the most stubborn, self-driven person I know and I was NOT able to do it alone. Admitting is the first step, letting the hurt go is the second; and allowing yourself to change is the beginning of endless opportunities. This is how I feel now after allowing Joellyn to listen to me and then allowing myself to listen to her feedback. Life is short; we all deserve to be happy!

Thank you Joellyn!
