Becoming Yourself

About Becoming Yourself

My forthcoming book Becoming Yourself debunks the myth that it's unrealistic to hold out for a life of deep joy that includes a sense of fulfillment and success based on your values. In this DIY guide, I share the exercises, tactics and strategies I have found to be most useful with 100’s of coaching clients from every walk of life. College professors, IT executives, single moms, lawyers and yoga teachers have all been able to apply these tools for change to reimagine and then reinvent themselves.

You’ll master tools for inner awareness and self-agency like the power of your sage and her values, toning down the withering effect of your inner critic, unlocking limiting beliefs, meditating, building resiliency and journaling.

You might pick up this title because you sense there could be more. Wondering if this as good as it gets you wind up judging yourself — and not too favorably. Of course, the stimulus for you to pull on the brakes and authentically get involved in introspection and intuitive stretching is usually some challenge, tragedy, or painful event. I can’t recall ever seeing anyone lounging by the pool with a nice plate of chilled bon bons musing about where she’d gone wrong and what needed to change for her to find true happiness.

But even if your life is percolating along in an “okay” fashion, you’re here and it’s time — now is always the time — to examine where there might be a possibility for more balance, more fulfillment, more joy, more ease in your life. And if there is some challenging event making you take a hard look—great. We’re going to work through this together in Becoming Yourself.

The caterpillar cannot imagine the butterfly that is to come. So, don’t let your vision or dreams get high-jacked by your executive editor warning you that you don’t know where this might lead. Implying or shouting, “Unknown. Danger ahead. Loser”
