One of the coaching principles that really changed my life was understanding that I have complete authority over the choices that I make.

If you’re feeling stuck, it might seem like you are just a victim of your circumstances. However, we subconsciously make choices every day that keep us in that cycle. We show up to the job that we don’t like, engage in habits that don’t serve us, and stay in relationships that don’t feel supportive.
It might feel confronting to think about that. Truthfully, it didn’t feel good when I started to notice these patterns in my life either. But, when I started to do this work, it opened up more space in my life to see that I had options and agency. Listen to learn more about how you can take control over your life by consciously making decisions that align with who you want to be.

About Your Host
I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.
If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.
Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.
I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.
No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).
This process is simple and approachable.
You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
