This post has an ulterior motive. Oops, not anymore.

November 13, 2009

Confession: this post has an ulterior motive. Except… Well, if I call it out like that right there at the beginning, it seems more utterly obvious than ulterior. Huh.

Well here’s the thing: as I get really amped about creating my coaching practice, all of the entrepreneurial marketing-type experts out there say to focus on only one thing. I keep hearing loads of hoopla about how I should help one group of people with one specific thing. Even better if they hang out in the same places and have the same birthday and buy the same brand of toilet paper. Seriously, niche it up or fail.

But I don’t wanna. And lucky for me there’s this one biggification genius who says otherwise. Which makes her my very favorite one because she’s kinda telling me what I want to hear. (Pattern here? You betcha.) So in the spirit of doing my thing, I’m listening to her and kinda doing whatever I want. *Knocks on wood*

So… second confession of the day. And this one’s a little bit more personal. I’ve hinted at it here and here, and a little here. Oh heavens, I allude to it quite a bit. Which means I guess it’s not all that secret or personal anymore. Here goes: I’ve dabbled in a variety of unhealthy eating (and not eating) patterns and stuff. There. And dabble is the gentlest euphemism I can muster. Anyway.

The point is, healing my stuff around eating, weight, and body image introduced me to myself, to what I really want and what I’m really about. It was a pattern that ended up being a window into… well, you know… like, my soul or something. *She takes a deep breath*. Which ultimately led me to finding my thing. This thing: the coaching & helping people & wellness & self-work thing.

And so now I really have no interest in separating the two. I have to help people make peace with their bodies so they can get on with their happy, healthy lives. And I have to help people find their thing.

Have. To. Compelled to. *Love* to.

And the question becomes how to go about doing that. Because maybe you’re rolling along, determined to find your thing, and be deliriously happy doing your thing, but you don’t have any body-related stuck spots or give a *$%# about reaching your ideal weight. Well then I don’t want to talk your ear off about that. I just want to help you find your thing. And so that’s what I’m going to do here.

But. Over here? I’m going to talk about all that other stuff. About how to end the drama, reach your ideal weight, and stay there. For good.

And of course I’m doing a crazy launch special that’s half off or something. But in addition to that, I’m at the end of some extra training and certification and have openings for just a couple of interested peeps who will get a ridiculously smokin’ deal*. So if that sounds like something you’d be up for, or might be a good fit for someone you know, I’d love to hear from you.

*And by ridiculous, I’m talking practically free. In exchange for the willingness to get started right away, and be part of my certification process. Which means sessions will be recorded and submitted to my insanely talented master coach for feedback. Which will ultimately also help you. Hey, cool, win-win! Sorry! All filled up.

***Way important sidenote: I’m so grateful to Allie for all of her help with design ~ Her style is lovely and so is she!

Hey @Josh ~ Thank you and thanks for letting me know about the feed issue – it should be fixed now, but if you try again and still have a problem, I would so appreciate it if you’d let me know. Thanks again and glad you’re here.

that is awesome! congrats on the new site launch!

for me, it is all sort of working together .. finding myself is leading to healing in lots of areas, including weight and body image. hard to know which came first.

@elizabeth ~ hey there, thank you! It was great to hear more about what you’re up to on the call. I love how it’s all related, which is the cool thing about working on stuff… no matter what you’re healing, it can’t help but benefit other areas, too.
