“I don’t know who I am anymore.”
“I feel like the life has been sucked out of me.”
“I have no idea what lights me up.”
These are the common responses I hear when I’m working with spouses of entrepreneurs.
It’s how I felt in my relationship; a fragment of my full self. Sacrificed in the name of being a “supportive partner”.
Except I could support no one because I was in desperate need of someone to fill my own bucket.
Enter resentment, disappointment, and the realization that if this could happen to me, it could happen to anyone.
I am a strong, ambitious, independent woman. How did I get so lost?
I know this stuff. I COACH this stuff. How could I let things get so far off the rails?
Because love. And life. And sacrificing self care in the name of support.
Self care is more than a weekly yoga class. It’s more than massages, manicures, or martinis with the girls.
Self care is a deep understanding of what we need to show up as our full, most empowered self.
You need to know what it takes for you to be at your best so that you can be of any value to others.
You want to live a life fully charged so that you’re activating those around you to show up as their best.
This is simple, but it’s not easy. In entrepreneurial couples, if purpose isn’t shared, it can divide. Let me help you find your purpose and to understand what you need to show up as your full, most empowered self.
