Recognize Your Worth
Pain into self-love — Let’s start today
Self-love does not mean being free from difficulties; instead, it often develops through the process of facing and navigating challenges. To embrace self-love, one must confront their struggles, acknowledge their feelings, and learn to care for themselves despite and because of the hardships they encounter.
My coaching sessions with Joan were very enlightening. She helped me look at things from a different perspective. She is a caring person and very easy to talk to.

So, why me?
My own journey toward self-love began in childhood, shaped by experiences of abandonment and mistreatment from those I once trusted. These early challenges taught me valuable lessons about the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing the standards I should maintain for the people I allow into my life.
Over the years, I faced significant obstacles that resulted in the loss of nearly everything except my sense of self. This loss became a pivotal turning point, prompting me to confront the reality of my circumstances. Navigating a dysfunctional family environment often led to struggles with anxiety and a fluctuating sense of self-worth.
It took more than a decade of reflection and resilience to address the fears, shame, and guilt that had become intertwined with my identity. Throughout this process, I learned to dismantle the negative self-image that had constrained my growth and cultivate a more compassionate perspective toward myself.
Ultimately, this experience has deepened my understanding of self-love and empowered me to recognize my inherent worth.

You're Not Alone
Having faced the depths of pain and fear, I understand how overwhelming challenges can hold us back from fully embracing a meaningful life. Yet, I am driven by the belief that change is not only possible but achievable through unwavering conviction, hard work, determination, and consistency. Instead of offering a list of solutions, I want to focus on what truly matters: my deep passion for caring for people, children, animals, and the world we share.
Let us step into the future with open arms, open minds, and open hearts. By doing so, we not only transform our own lives, but we also create a ripple effect that can positively impact the world around us. Together, we can foster love, healing, and change that resonates far beyond our immediate circles. Embrace the journey, and let’s make a difference together.

I have built healthy habits from what I have learned from being coached and I am applying them in other aspects of my life.

Empowering Your Best Life
Acceptance
It's about recognizing that YOU ARE ENOUGH AS YOU ARE and embracing your unique qualities. Emphasizing the importance of accepting yourself fully, with all the flaws and imperfections, the strengths and weaknesses.
Acceptance does not mean complacency: rather, it provides a foundation for personal growth. By accepting where we are, we can identify areas for improvement and engage in self-development without the burden of unrealistic expectations or self=doubt.
It allow us to embrace our own identity without fear of judgement.
Compassion
This involves recognizing your struggles and responding with GENTLENESS instead of CRITICISM.
This focuses on treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer a friend.
By treating yourself with kindness, you can shift your internal dialogue towards a more supportive and affirming tone, which can enhance self-esteem. When you approach your emotions with kindness and understanding, you may find it easier to manage stress, anxiety and negative feelings, leading to a more stable emotional state.
Awareness
Self-awareness is crucial component of self-love, as it enables you to develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, strengths and weakness.
It allows you to recognize and comprehend your emotional responses.
Empower you to set healthy boundaries in relationships, and responsibilities, promoting self-respect and preventing burn-out.
Self-awareness is the foundation of self-love by promoting understanding, acceptance and positive growth, ultimately leading to a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
