That's me, Gino! (with some sweet dog pals)
So... what inspired me to become a life coach? A passionate dedication to helping creatives reach their goals and aspirations. My own transformative experience with coaching which has guided me into being my best, authentic self. It has changed the lens through which I look at the world, my relationship to others, my work, my creative practice and myself. Gaining resilience through the discomfort of taking risks, failing and persisting despite anxiety, ADHD, time-management struggles and what often felt like a giant question mark looming over my head at all times. |
Understanding that we are ALL equally flawed yet amazing human beings. The more we embrace the good, the bad and the ugly along with the uncomfortable aspects of our human experience, the more we can show up for ourselves in order to have the life we want.
My love of community, dedication to diversity, and the belief that we can all benefit from guidance and support.
