Where It Began

My mantra in life has always been, “What is meant to be will be.” I have also always asked myself why. My quote in my senior year yearbook was John Mayer’s,

“Still everything happens for a reason
Is no reason not to ask myself
If I am living it right.”

I lived by this in my youth, but at times, lost it along the way. Reading it now, it’s so powerful to come full circle.

A few years ago, my life underwent a massive career and personal life transition. I became heart sick. I felt lost, confused and overcome with uncertainty. I wondered how I steered so far off course from the confident, self-trusting and fearless Darah I used to be. I was missing that spark of being present every day.

I had lost trust in my process because I was too busy seeking and justifying my need for external validation instead of holding close the things that mattered the most. Love, purpose, joy, service, healthy relationships, kindness and self-acceptance. When faced with adversity, I saw that I needed to create space for my truth. I was so eager to discover how to share my gifts through work, and be able to open my soul to deeply love others and myself.

Coming Back To Me

When I dove into the world of life-coaching, I began to find a purpose and a place for my skills to shine. I forgave myself for not trusting my instincts and began to create a nest of support. I identified and let go of components that no longer served me in living my life to its full potential. I hadn’t realized how dishonest I had been with myself. Even though I knew I had gotten off track, I wasn’t aware how much I was holding myself back.

That truth is: I really love who I am and always have and I made it a priority to I get back to this truth, 100%.

This didn’t happen until I made time to take a step back to examine what was actually going on. I asked myself what wasn’t working and what I truly wanted out of my life’s experience. When I gave myself the space, I saw that I craved greater.

Granting Permission To Grow

If you’re currently feeling stuck or just got the rug ripped out from under you, here’s what I have for you...congratulations! Your life is about to transform; the door is open for you to make it better in ways you never would have imagined.

When uncomfortable change came loudly knocking, I turned to coaching. I started to get real vulnerable and ask questions in a way that I hadn’t on my own. Before, uncertainty used to terrify me. The thought of the unknown, especially if I couldn’t “control it,” deeply affected my attitude towards myself and others, and my overall outlook on life. It was extremely uncomfortable for me. Now, uncertainty means endless possibilities full of blank pages to fill with a life in which I choose.

Through working through obstacles, I knew my essential self was destined for more. I wanted a new and exciting approach to my life, and coaching was the support system that helped me create just that. I explored what was best for me, dug deeper into my purpose and gained the tools to help me create a vision in line what I had always imagined for myself. As I went through my own personal transformation, I became inspired to help others do the same.

Finding Purpose in Helping Others

My unique approach to coaching is to support my clients to take agency of their life, rise strong in their story and build tools and strategies to help them find a more self-fulfilling purpose. Accountability, trust, hard work, brave hearts, open minds and wholehearted fun are the significant parts that allow us to work as a team. Together we set goals, we dream and we get to the root of any unworthiness and why it may cause roadblocks from us living in our best potential. I aim to help my clients find their purpose, cultivating excitement about all possibilities, welcoming in uncertainty.

In the words of Steve Nicks,

“Where is the reason
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart”
