Building a Website & Creating a Dream
Hey there, fellow Chronic Warrior! Maybe you've already checked out my bio or you came here because you stumbled across my social media posts. Or perhaps a quick Google search led you to my site? You might already have a sense of who I am and my story. Have you skimmed the home page and now you're here, diving into my first blog post, wondering if I'm the right fit for you? You are eager to regain your life and feeling hopeful that someone might actually be able to understand you and be able to help. Welcome Warrior! In this post, I'm sharing why I decided to become a Life Coach and what I dream this website will become.
When I chose the path to become a Life Coach I closed my eyes and asked myself, "What would I have wanted to experience during my early years of learning to live with pain?" It can be hard finding someone who understands the complexity of a pain disorder to help us, Chronic Warriors, adapt to life with pain, learn mindfulness while not misconstruing what we are living with as a mental disorder. I know how valuable it is for someone to tell you. “Your pain is real! Your pain is not in your head! I see you!” Becoming a certified Life Coach to help our community wasn’t enough. I closed my eyes an envisioned a website that would offer an experience where all types of chronic warriors could come to feel connected, seen and understood. That is why I am including my blog and a newsletter as free services for any warrior. I also believe in upfront pricing, while I wish to stay competitive I am offering discounted rates because I know living with a chronic illness is expensive but I believe we should all be able to receive affordable help. There are some other special features I plan to roll out within the year.
Putting this website together hasn't been a walk in the park. I'd love to say it was a labor of love, but honestly, since these skills don't come naturally to me, it's been a bit of a frustrating journey. So, let's call it a labor of frustrated love! This site isn't just about sharing info on me and my Life Coaching services; it's a hub for our Chronic Warrior Community.
I look forward to meeting with you, hearing your pain story and helping you learn how to use your tools so you can fully live your life despite your pain.
