Be the Heroine of Your Own Life

In 2019, I was a different person in a different world.

I was at the start of a sabbatical—two decades into a career—busy achieving all the things I thought I “should” want.

And rocking them.

Yet still feeling nagging discontent.

I had already undergone a massive personal transformation.

I was newly certified as a life coach. Newly 50 years old. Newly certified as a yoga teacher. And I had made significant changes in my health.

Little did I know it was just the beginning. Not because of the goals I would achieve… but because of who I would become in the process.

Sometimes life takes you on a different path than you expect, and you end up exactly where you need to go anyway.

Three years ago, I gave myself permission to bloom.

To be afraid—and do it anyway. On Maya Angelou’s recommendation:

“I decided to stop trying to feel normal and discover how amazing I can be.”

I decided to create something beautiful and visionary and as Nora Ephron encourages to “be the heroine of my life.”

And to help others do the same.

I stepped into the role of becoming the solution for others that I had so desperately needed but couldn’t find.

What happened when I showed up as authentically me?

Beautiful and magical things. So much impact. Lives changed. Positive ripples into the world.

I share this not to brag—or to trigger comparison. I share it to inspire.

This kind of becoming is not reserved for special people. It’s available to humans who decide to begin.

What could happen for you if you decided to begin?

What will the world miss out on if you don’t do what you are meant to do?

It’s often a perspective shift rather than a total life demolition

I didn’t do it all on my own.And it was not easy. I gave myself help and support.

One of the biggest lessons I learned is that it’s often not a massive change in circumstances that’s needed…simply a change in perspective.

A change in perspective changes everything. Whether you’re navigating a marriage issue, mental health challenges in someone you love, or discontent in your work—decide that it can be different now.

What could change for you?

I can’t wait to meet the heroine of your life.
