Actually, that’s not true, Gayle had no plans to move to Texas and wasn’t excited when she heard the news of relocating. But being the “good girl” that she was, she complied. After two transitional years, decided that she would call Texas home.

Moving was just one of life’s little challenges that Gayle would face, both before & after. In earlier years she believed that at a certain stage in life, we reach a plateau and experience smooth sailing from thereon. Now older and wiser, she finally understands smooth sailing is always temporary. She appreciates the opportunities for growth that life has to offer.

As a child, dependent on parents, life often “happens to us”. As we mature, we get to own our story and realize that we have choices. There is rarely or never comfort in growth, but with the right support system, and tools such as acceptance, gratitude, patience and self-love, we can not only survive, but thrive!

These insights were not accepted by Gayle early on. We live in a society that promotes self-reliance, where asking for help is a sign of weakness. Too often we ignore our own needs. Our worth is tied to a performance review or external validation, and like Gayle we try escaping any “bad” feelings.

Self-proclaimed “recovering perfectionist”. Gayle utilizes her coaching experience, learned tools, life experiences and empathy to create a safe space for clients to explore who they are and what they want for their life.
