It’s never too late to re-invent who you are and be true to yourself. I think we are all always evolving into who we are called to be in our lifetime and nothing is by accident or a mistake. Its all learning and lessons to grow us into our true authentic self.
Even though I have been in the health and wellness business for 25 years as a personal trainer, herbalist, holistic health, nutritionist, and aromatherapist, my real passion is being a holistic codependency coach. It is my heart and my passion. My true calling. I have such a burning desire to give back to others all that I have had to learn and go through up until this point in my life. This month I will be 59 years old and have re-invented myself to work solely with codependents and emotional eaters in a holistic way. I can look back on my life from childhood and see how I was being prepared for such a time as this. Ive spoke and taught coda classes and events for 25 years, but now, it is becoming my full time work. I can’t really call it work because it just seems so natural and easy for me. I believe when something is your calling and your are being authentic in that, it does just flow. There is no forcing or “making” it happen. It is just your heart and soul.
I look back remembering my Great Grandma Molly who was a holistic herbalist and I reflect all that she taught me about alternative healing. Herbs are Gods pharmacy she would say. She also taught me how everything is alive and has energy as she prayed over every plant and herb she planted. She so believed in the mind/body connection. Her farm house was a place of safety and solitude to me when my abusive alcoholic home didnt feel safe or got too scarey. I know she is with me today guiding and directing me. All of my past hurts, broken marriages, family addiction experiences were just the boot-camp training for me to ease into my calling as a holistic codependency coach. I love that because of my background and education that I can work with codependents and others who look outside of themselves to fill that hole inside of them to create a relationship with self and God. The Healing Codependency Through the Chakras course was inspired from above. It’s a very unconventional way of healing codependency and it is so how I believe we evolve out of that behavior.
It is never too late to become who you really are and share that with others. We all have gifts and talents. Have you lost yourself in pleasing others and living for others? What is your higher self, your true self saying to you? What would bring YOU your greatest joy if you could do it? It’s never too late. Follow your heart, feel deep inside what you feel you were called here to do. There is no greater joy and peace.
