lighten your load…
The world was starting to open up after Covid-19 lockdown.
But I wasn’t ready.
I had been exploring and discovering things about myself.
And had just learned the concept of basic human needs.
I wanted space and solitude to continue working on my self-development.
More time away from everything and everyone.
Finally, the fear of things retuning to normal in a place I was outgrowing was greater than my fear of stepping into the unknown.
Everyone joins the walk from Canterbury to Rome with their own purpose.
Fitness and food were my initial motivations.
Then it was just to put one foot in front of the other and achieve what I set out to do.
I played music to fill the silence around me and drown out the noise inside me.
Over time, I slowly developed my own way to cope with and be at peace with my thoughts.
And although shit happened along the way, I became more resilient and aware of my own resourcefulness.
I shifted my perspective on failure and took things one step at a time.
I reached out for and accepted help when I needed it.
But also communicated my boundaries when I didn’t.
I learned to value the journey rather than focusing on the end goal.
Sometimes you need to take what feels like a step back to move forwards.
To pause and unpack what is causing you to feel a certain way.
So you can become aware of what your mind, body, and heart need to feel safe, secure, and at peace.
This awareness around your basic human needs gives you a map of what to explore when you are feeling overwhelmed.
It guides you to find what you are missing.
And empowers you to get back on track.
Don’t let the relentless negative chatter weigh you down.
This is your journey – but step by step, I’ll be there to support you.
My coaching cocoon shelters you from the outside world.
It separates you from your regular routine long enough for you to breathe, let go, and be heard.
For you to find your path forward.
“Coaching was an extremely positive and worthwhile experience for me.
Michelle was patient, kind, communicative and clear. We built a trusting and safe relationship.
She sensitively and competently guided me through several significant life challenges, which I now feel better equipped to deal with.“
