Hello my dears I am sorry I have been somewhat MIA in here this week. The truth is that The Sunday Series and my business overall are undergoing a major pivot behind the scenes, and it has been taking a toll on me. But to be honest that is largely my fault because I haven't publicly announced that things are changing, so I feel oddly like someone hiding behind a curtain. So here goes nothing I am no longer going to be a Women's Freedom and Lifestyle Coach helping female entrepreneurs. I know I know you are probably like what the world Caitlin. But I have to be honest with what I am feeling should be the direction of my business as I move forward. As many of you know I have been dealing with chronic illness for well over a decade now, and it is one of the main reasons that I became a coach in the first place. My illnesses took me to the darkest points of my life, and took everything from me. And I realized that I never wanted another woman to ever feel the way that I felt again. At the time that meant helping female entrepreneurs with all things mindset, but my mission is so much bigger than that. I want to create a safe place for women to come and dream without being held back by the crap that they tell themselves. I want to empower women to feel like the most badass and confident version of themselves. More specifically I want to help women like me. So moving forward I will be focusing my business on being an Empowerment Coach for female chronic illness warriors and those with health concerns. I want these women to know that they are valuable beyond their diagnosis, that they are worthy, and can feel confident and empowered as they are. I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but I genuinely believe that I am meant to serve these women, and remind them that they are seen, heard, and understood. I completely understand that I will probably lose some of you, and that is ok, especially if I am no longer able to serve you the way that you need. If you are interested in joining my new Facebook Community The EmpowHERment Collective then I encourage you to do so. Again thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me. Now on to brighter things! ❤️

Desperate to find out what is stopping you from believing in yourself?⠀
⠀
Believe me I have been there done that and got the tshirt when it comes to self doubt.⠀
⠀
I remember staring at myself in the mirror thinking that the woman looking back at me couldn't possible have what she wanted.⠀
⠀
I remember laying awake at night crying because I didn't believe in myself, and my self doubt was so strong I couldn't see straight.⠀
⠀
But I was able to beat the self doubt that riddled my brain by recognizing where it was coming from, and learning how to combat its causes.⠀
⠀
I find that self doubt tends to come from three places...⠀
⠀
Low self esteem, seeking external validation, and dealing with comparison.⠀
⠀
Low self esteem is often rooted in fear, specifically our fears of taking action or what will happen if... ⠀
⠀
So take the action on what scares you, because that's how you grow your confidence. ⠀
⠀
Seeking external validation has become so prevalent among women because society and social media tells us we need someone else to approve of our life... WRONG!⠀
⠀
You don't need anyone telling you how you should be living your life.⠀
⠀
Then there is the pesky thief of joy aka comparison.⠀
⠀
Comparison solves nothing.⠀
⠀
Social media and society have taught us and indoctrinated us to believe that we have to compare ourselves to everyone else in order to somehow validate who we are, but that is false.⠀
⠀
This is why self doubt and not believing in ourselves is so tricky because it plays on some many different aspects of who we are, that it roots itself so deeply in our consciousness.⠀
⠀
But here is your truth nugget for the day, none of those things have to stop you. ⠀
⠀
You just have to declare to yourself that you will work everyday to beat those negative feelings.⠀
⠀
It is a process.⠀
⠀
It is a habit that you have to work on.⠀
⠀
So work on it everyday, and eventually that self doubt will lessen, and be replaced by a slowly building confidence in yourself.⠀
⠀
And if you are ready to take the next step, and truly figure out what is blocking you from flourishing, then I invite you to schedule a 30 minute Mindset Assessment with me in the dms.⠀
⠀
Together we will ...

“In the end, she became more than what she expected. She became the journey, and like all journeys, she did not end, she just simply changed directions and kept going.” - r.m. drake ⠀

What path or journey are you on?

I had done everything right, and it still wasn't working. ⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, and it was one of the worst days of my life.⠀
⠀
I remember feeling like a complete failure.⠀
⠀
I had gotten the good grades, gone to the great school, did everything to get the dream job, and it didn't matter.⠀
⠀
I had done everything I was supposed to do my whole life, and it didn't stop my brain from going haywire.⠀
⠀
And it only got worse from there because I did all the things to heal myself, and it still wasn't working.⠀
⠀
Treatment resistant was what I heard next, and it shook me to my core.⠀
⠀
After therapy and five different anti-depressant medications I was still feeling hopeless.⠀
⠀
What was I supposed to do to heal myself if traditional methods didn't work?⠀
⠀
That's when I had to take a good hard look at myself, and let me tell you it wasn't pleasant.⠀
⠀
I had to address all the emotions and feelings that came with my diagnosis and everything that led me there because one way or another I was going to fight.⠀
⠀
So what did I do?⠀
⠀
I turned to personal development.⠀
⠀
I turned to working on myself, and making myself a priority day in and day out.⠀
⠀
Because the truth is I never would get anywhere if I didn't care enough about myself to take care of myself.⠀
⠀
And if I am being honest at the beginning I didn't care about myself at all, that's how low I was.⠀
⠀
Now I don't say this for pity or sympathy, but rather for you to understand that rock bottom isn't the end.⠀
⠀
As cliche as it sounds it truly is the start of your journey to finding the real you; the you that you deserve to be.⠀
⠀
Because here's the truth you don't deserve a life where you hate yourself, doubt yourself, are riddled with comparison or negative self talk.⠀
⠀
You deserve to feel confident, empowered, and capable of anything you desire.⠀
⠀
Your struggles and limiting beliefs do not have to hold you back.⠀
⠀
Remember that.⠀
⠀
Because believe me I don't let them hold me back anymore, and now I am an author, the owner of two businesses, a coach, a leader, and on my way to living the kind of life I never thought I would be able to live, and you can too.⠀ (Cont.👇🏻)

I don’t know about you, but I am searching for something more!⠀
⠀
I am searching for a life full of memories and experiences.⠀
⠀
A life fully lived not just experienced.⠀
⠀
Thriving not just surviving.⠀
⠀
I believe that a life that looks more like a resume than a life is a life not lived.⠀
⠀
We only have such a limited amount of time on this Earth, and I want to ensure that I am living it up as much as I can.⠀
⠀
This is something I have been preaching, but not practicing to the level that I should, do here I am rededicating myself to that mission.⠀
⠀
What magic are you in pursuit of?

This may be a controversial statement, but trying to craft your dream life can be really hard and taxing. ⠀
⠀
Don’t get me wrong I firmly believe that going after your dreams is beyond worth it, but that doesn’t make it easy. ⠀
⠀
Anytime you try going after something big or monumental there are going to be trials and tribulations, but you have to remember why you wanted to go after those goals in the first place. ⠀
⠀
Because believe me it’s not all sipping margaritas on the beach and doing whatever you want!⠀
⠀
You have to have a bigger why! ⠀
⠀
Having a bigger why is what is going to keep you going when times get tough, or when you feel like you can’t keep going.⠀
⠀
So if you are just going after the freedom lifestyle because you don’t want to have to work, or you just want to start a business for the money you will fail. ⠀
⠀
You have to have a bigger meaning behind the things you are wanting to do.⠀
⠀
Maybe you want a life of freedom so that you can travel the world. ⠀
⠀
Or maybe you want to start your own business so that you have more time to spend with your kids. ⠀
⠀
Whatever the reason use it. ⠀
⠀
Use it to keep pushing your forward.⠀
⠀
It is that why that will sustain you when you feel like quitting or like you can’t keep going!⠀
⠀
So what dream are you chasing after? ⠀
⠀
Tell me everything you dream of in the comments. ⠀

Be strong they say!⠀
⠀
It's easy they say.⠀
⠀
Just be strong, and everything will work out.⠀
⠀
But they don't tell you how hard it actually is to be strong.⠀
⠀
And to be strong all the time.⠀
⠀
Damn that is excruciatingly painful and hard beyond measure.⠀
⠀
Well I am here to tell you the hard truth, you don't have to be strong all of the time.⠀
⠀
I know I know, that is a hard concept even for me, but recently I had a fellow coach and friend who I deeply admire give me a come to Jesus moment.⠀
⠀
She flat out told me, that I get to stop being strong all of the time.⠀
⠀
I guess I knew that on some level, but having someone actually give me the permission to do it felt different some how.⠀
⠀
I am telling you this so that you know you get to be strong and feel weak at the same time.⠀
⠀
You get to push forward and feel like you are failing at the same time.⠀
⠀
Because the truth is that everyday you get up and face you world you are being strong.⠀
⠀
It's all about defining strength for yourself.⠀
⠀
It's about honoring yourself, valuing yourself, and respecting your journey and process.⠀
⠀
So the next time that you feel like you aren't being strong, remember that you are.⠀
⠀
And the next time you feel weak just know that you aren't.⠀
⠀
And the next time you feel like you just can't keep going, can't be strong anymore, or keep your head above water just know that it's ok to take a break.⠀
⠀
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to just be?
