Being the provider was a responsibility I embraced as a man, but the weight of doing it in a career I was ambivalent about was suffocating.

This is what I call "The Burden of the Breadwinner.”

Does it ever seem like no matter how hard you try you still struggle to find a place where you belong?

What gets in the way of creating an amplified life where you're thriving emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially?

Are you feeling the stress and anxiety of heading back to work on Monday? 

Does it ever seem like no matter how hard you try, you struggle to find a place where you belong?

Did you know that in 1930, one of the world's leading economists predicted we'd be working 15-hour weeks by the 21st century?

“I don’t even know if I can achieve my goals. Not everyone is meant to fulfill their dreams. And to take the financial hit to do it is a gamble. I can’t dip into my savings.”

The truth is, creating an extraordinary life requires an extraordinary risk.

Have you ever thought REAL happiness would come if you just got that “next big thing” in your career, only to find yourself unsatisfied and chasing a new goal within weeks or months?

This coaching is for you.

"You don't belong here!"

There were many times in my life I had "gut feelings" about situations, but this was a completely visceral experience the likes of which I had never experienced.

You haven't created a clear, compelling vision. You have to set specific goals. If you desire to simply make "more money," and you make $25 more per month, you will accomplish your goal. But you'll still feel unsatisfied when the extra $400 per year doesn't drastically change the quality of your life.

Have you ever had the experience of listening to an inspiring podcast, watching a TED talk, or reading a self-help book and feeling like you were ready to conquer the world, only to find yourself slipping back into old habits of procrastination, perfectionism, and playing small a few days later?

Don’t get me wrong, a daily gratitude practice is the bedrock of an amplified life. When you take time each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for, life gives you more to be grateful for. Gratitude is the first step to the elusive “abundance mindset” you have heard and read about in the self-help world.

Has perfectionism and the need to “get it right” held you back from getting started and achieving your 2019 goals? 
This coaching is for you. 

In 2014, I landed the biggest gig of my 18-year corporate career. I had a fancy title that sounded important, a nice corner office, and a cushy, 6-figure salary to match. On paper, life looked great.

Seriously, I just saw a news story about pumpkin-spice flavored Spam selling out in a day... it's officially out of control. However, I’m popping into your inbox to remind you that a joyous life isn’t only available to you during the 8 weeks you can buy a pumpkin spice latte. You’re here to live a pumpkin spice LIFE.

I’ve spent the last few instalments of my blog expanding on the conversation I had with Sarah Reilly. You can find her at www.SarahReillyCoaching.com; she posts a lot of content; you could dig around her site for days and continue to be inspired.

In my last blog, I started to introduce you to Sarah Reilly. I’ve known Sarah for a while, and one of the most profound statements she made to me (and I say “one of” because she inspires me all the time), is “Your new life will cost you your old one.” When I reflect upon this, I think about how to move forward; you will always have something behind you.  Everyone is ok with saying they want to move forward; it’s the letting go of the past (while acknowledging its importance in where you’re going) that is the hard part.
