How To Reignite Your Passion & Live The Life You Truly Desire

When you think about your current lifestyle, like the job you have or your daily routine, how do you feel about it?

Are you in a constant state of motion without any… emotion behind it? 

Unfortunately, we all have to work. We have bills, people relying on us, and things we need to do every day but who said work had to be boring or overwhelming? 

What if I told you there was a way for you to live the life you truly desire by reigniting your passion doing the things you love to do?

You started your career because you love being challenged, you loved showing off your skills, and were excited about all of the growth and opportunities that were knocking at your door.  

If you aren’t ready or willing to open it, we’ve got some work to do.  

This phase of murky, unmotivated waters reminds me of a client I worked with a couple of years ago. We’ll call her Disinterested Debbie. 

Disinterested Debbie was forever overthinking every path and avenue that could be possible on her journey. She was also bogged down by everything in her life that was holding her back from making a final decision and moving forward. The epitome of being stuck. 

She was in one role for 17 years but realized she had just been going through the motions. Sound familiar? 

Once we started working together, we hit the ground running. We were able to create a roadmap of her life, lay out everything she had already accomplished, and figured out what she actually loved to do. Only then was Disinterested Debbie able to see clearly what was possible and the exact steps she needed to take to start important conversations in order to explore new paths and income streams in her life. 

Disinterested Debbie became Driven Debbie, with a fire lit inside of her. She is now working on multiple client projects and increasing her business and visibility. She’s raised her prices and is looking to start her own LLC. #BIGGOALS

If you haven’t done this already, the first step to reigniting your passion is by conducting a little self-assessment project on yourself.

Once you have all of your values in order, you can move on to identifying what it is you are looking for. 

Here are some things you can do to find your passion and reignite your flame. 

• Think about what motivates you and makes you excited to get up every morning. If this excitement has nothing to do about your job, then you may want to rethink what it is you are doing. 
• If you had unlimited time and money was not an option, what would you be doing? This is what your true passion is! 
• Determine what kind of sacrifices you're willing to make, like working long hours, heading back to school, or finding a babysitter to help you focus at home. 
• Start brain-dumping your ideas! Write everything you want to happen in the next six months for 5 minutes, getting as big and outrageous as you can. 
• Pick up a new hobby or routine that makes you feel good and allows better energy to flow 
• Get out there and engage! Join a networking group or community of like-minded people with whom you can bounce ideas. 

Now, if you are reading this and thinking, “UGH, I’m not sure how to answer this or move forward,” then a coach might be the best option for you.

And I know the perfect one - me!

My approach to coaching is deep-seated in realizing your greatest potential. It’s a journey that includes taking care of your mind, body, and soul. Here are some super common questions to help you gain clarity around what coaching is and what it can help you do. 

Some Coaching FAQ's..

What is coaching? 

Coaching is a professional relationship that enables a client to move forward in their work or business with greater clarity, focus, momentum, and success. Coaching guides you to finding and creating your own answers. The ultimate goal of coaching is to create more awareness, motivation, and confidence in your life actions.

Is there a difference between coaching, consulting, and therapy?

Coaching is not therapy or consulting. Coaching focuses on the present and the future of your life, career, or business…not the past.  A coach is not a therapist, a psychologist, or a counselor delving into the past, diagnosing, and/or applying learned techniques for a particular mental or behavioral need. A Coach focuses on the who of a person, and not the what. Coaching allows a person to discover what they need to do versus accepting advice.

How does coaching work?

Goal setting and accountability are only some parts of coaching. Coaching is a process. Using my METHOD, I am trained to deliver the process with confidence and ability, ensuring that you get results from every session worthy of the investment you are making. As you do the work on yourself that we establish during our initial sessions, I continue to guide you through them, asking direct questions to create those A-Ha moments and breakthroughs. This allows you to see things from a different perspective in order to execute the changes you wish to make in your life.

If you’re a client running a business or a team looking for an executive leadership recruiter or to level up the talent in your organization, I’ve got you covered there too! I've worked with some of the biggest brands in the business, including Burberry, Kering, Ralph Lauren, and Tiffany & Co. Click here to get started. 

Remember, you can work in a career that aligns with your passion, but if you do not explore what is possible you will forever feel stuck on the hamster wheel of life.
