Kate’s coaching helped me realize that I have been very closed with myself and others which means I have held back and resisted many things in the last several months or more!  It helped me understand that by being more open and patient with myself, I can be more accepting of others and create boundaries that are not walls, but more likely bridges.  I noticed that I am less present when I let other people’s thoughts and words affect me.  I only have control over myself so I need to start with myself instead of focusing on what other people may be thinking or saying.  

I am approaching myself with more kindness and compassion, more patience and breathing room.  I am also going to embrace quiet time instead of feeling like I have to respond with words all the time.  

I walked away from coaching with Kate thinking less which helps me because I usually overthink and dwell on the past or future which I cannot control anyway.  I need to and will focus exclusively on the present and how I can move onto the next step without looking too far ahead and especially not back!  I also understand now how I can find joy and peace by prioritizing joy and peace no matter what situation I am in.

Ever since working with Kate, I have strengthened all relationships in my life including myself, my staff, my in-laws, my parents, my sister, and my children. Kate opened my mind to the realization that I am not the victim I had often been playing in my relationships. I have learned to take back control of my own thoughts and emotions which I previously believed was impossible. Prior to working with Kate, I would often spin out of control when faced with a personal relationship or workplace conflict as I often assumed a victim mentality. Now, I am not only able to better control my emotions during confrontation, but I am also much less anxious.  The inevitable day-to-day conflicts that arise at home or at my work are much more easily manageable as I have now realized how much more in control I actually am than I previously thought. I know that each day and each week will bring new challenges; however, I worry much less knowing that I can pull out the tools Kate taught me to more effectively navigate my personal life and workplace relationships. 

I had done reading on thought work prior to working with Kate, but working directly with her gave me better insight and a more customized approach to the difficult relationships and situations I was finding myself in with my family members. 

I am fortunate to have this experience of life coaching with Kate. I encourage anyone who is interested in improving their relationships to work with her.
