About Me
With my upbringing, I’m not exactly the kind of person you would expect to become a spiritual life coach. Up until I was forty, I didn’t even know what a spiritual life coach was!
I come from a family of academics, very cultivated people, all in the intellect, and not very much in the heart. People who saw themselves as just made of a body and a mind, who never gave the word “soul” a single thought. People for whom the word “spirituality” meant as much as dogma or superstition, the word “intuition” had no meaning at all, and the word “energy” only meant electricity.
But since I can remember, I somehow sensed that there was more to the world than I was able to see. I just wouldn’t accept that things had to be the way they appeared.
That can become a lonely place to be in. And when as a child or a young person, you find no confirmation in others of anything you believe, you might end up dismissing it all as nonsense.
I always had a hard time adapting to all those rules and structures that dominate our lives. I hated walking in line, asking for permission to do anything, being told what to do and when and how to do it… and never getting a satisfactory answer to the question WHY I had to do it.
At Age 14 I refused to have anything to do with religion anymore, and at age 17 I walked away from school because I just couldn’t stand wasting my days in prison. I was also never employed anywhere, for exactly the same reason. I used to think that I was the weird one.
But now I know for sure that we were not born to be slaves.
It can take us a long time to realise that, and an even longer time to find out what it is, we came into this life to be and do.
The quest for that one answer is worth all your time, your energy, and your passion!
