A 7 hour time-zone difference, a misread appointment time, and a sliver of inner doubt almost caused me to miss out on an amazing coaching session with Dr. Veronika.
Being a member of various Skool communities and leading two of my own is proving to be one of the greatest networking opportunities of this current stage of my career trajectory. When Dr. Veronika offered the 90-Minute intensive session in the community feed, I jumped on it immediately.
Then, I got cold feet: believing the 7 hour time zone difference to be a barrier to a meaningful connection. Later, unconsciously misreading the email with the session time; proving the time zone difference concern to be valid. The doubt almost won out. But, it didn’t have a chance against the spirit of truth that was leading me the whole way.
I didn’t really understand how to show up for the call. I wasn’t prepared. I went in with the mindset of a ‚coach‘ being ‚practiced‘ on.
I was quickly rerouted to a full 90 minute session that took me from the question I had been sitting with the past 12 hours before our call, ‚who am I when neither road defines me?‘ to a breakthrough answer that had been locked within me waiting to find its ‚exit‘.
Dr. Veronika opened our session, having me pull out my sketchbook and pencils. I sat quietly and released onto paper what arose in me. Over the course of the 90 minutes, she led me through the different aspects of the sketch, listening to me as I allowed myself to give voice to what I saw, heard, and felt in it. It brought up emotional responses I was not expecting to surface. She helped me to walk through it, guiding intuitively, sharing insights as to possible connections and imagery of my sketch and connected history.
Imagine a balloon release at a lake. Serene, nature attending to a gentle release of what no longer serves me. I watched these pieces of me rise up and move away as if giving voice to them gave them permission to leave. Old, stagnant energy that had been kept active out of loyalty, tradition, family oaths, and memories of loved ones who’ve moved on from this side of eternity. Energy that needed me to give voice to their existence, to acknowledge it.
I realize now, I need to thank it for its time with me. Thank it for leaving me to be truer to myself.
I recommend Dr. Veronika and her intuitive coaching for anyone who is ready for a breakthrough; an opportunity to unburden themselves from an outdated version that hinders their desire to thrive. When you look in the mirror afterwards, you will see the difference. When you look into your own eyes, you will not recognize who is there. It is someone new. It is someone you will be excited to learn and be courageous in allowing others to meet this new you.
Be well, Mardale
