I've hit my goals... now what?
I’ve always been driven. Previously, I would have described myself as perfectionistic, top of the class, driven, etc… As I look back at these adjectives, they all came out of one place: FEAR.
I was scared to fail. I was scared to be anything less than perfect. I was scared that if I wasn’t the best at what I did, I wouldn’t have an identity at all. The truth was, I already did not have an identity. I had no idea who I was.
When I was 22, I graduated from Columbia University with my Masters of Science in Social Work degree. I moved home to San Diego and was completely lost. Looking back, I had always had a clear path of what to do and when: graduate from a 4-year university, attend graduate school, complete internships in Clinical Social Work, and then graduate. After I finished my “to-do” list, I had no idea what to do next.
There are no clear cut directions of what to do next once you reach your goals.
I was struggling to find employment, engaging in problematic relationships, practicing self-destructive behaviors with disordered eating, binge drinking, negative self-talk, and low self-esteem. I felt stuck, lost and disconnected from my emotions. Even though I was unemployed, I was feeling overwhelmed with my anxieties.
I was questioning my myself, my beliefs, my ideas.
Have you ever felt this way?
Feeling stuck in life, not sure of what decisions to make next
Questioning themselves, their ideas, and their beliefs
Successful at meeting their previous goals, and now uncertain of what to do next in life
Disconnected from their emotions
Perfectionistic
Driven, and finding it difficult to keep up the momentum
Wondering why they are feeling unmotivated
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors (food, relationships, love, alcohol, drugs)
Feeling lethargic, “lazy”, stagnant, physically + emotionally
Struggling with organization
Feeling overwhelmed
Because I have been through that confusion and turmoil myself, I want to help you navigate through the process. I tried all coping mechanisms under the sun, both positive and negative. I can work with you on how to decrease these behaviors that no longer serve us while creating the momentum to move forward!
Once I figured out what worked for me, I obtained full-time employment that utilized my degree and skillset, allowing me to help others as a psychotherapist and leader. I went on to be a CEO, manage companies, and develop treatment programs. I was able to do this all while creating new goals for myself, saying yes to life, and practicing mind + body balance within myself.
These experiences have helped me create this program FOR YOU. To collaborate WITH YOU on a plan to move you forward. By the end of these 3 months, you will:
+ Learn specific strategies for creating future goals
