I bought the bag

I've drooled over this brand for years. Headquartered in Cleveland. A lovely founder, a lovely mission, storefronts to die for, ethically manufactured, beautifully designed bags–at price points just I couldn't justify. For the longest time, I couldn't see why I deserved to buy the bag…

When I started coaching, I made the promise to myself that I would reward myself with the purchase of one of these bags when I booked my first client. In doing mindset work around my relationship with money, buying the bag would be a stretch. I would feel really uncomfortable to keep a commitment to myself, my worth, my desires and my ability to keep creating more. Buying the bag would be a practice of keeping my own word, it would be a YES to the work I did, to believing I was worthy to receive something of joy from it. I believed that act would start a causal sequence to bring about even more abundance. (The belief, represented by the bag, would result in more clients)

It took almost a year after booking my first client before I bought the bag. And for months after the purchase, nothing happened. Clients didn’t start busting down the door. But I've been carrying the bag for months, grateful for it and that I {eventually} kept my own word. Internally, however, gradually something IS happening. I am shifting from belief into knowing. A concrete knowledge that a commitment to my integrity, the value of putting something out into the world, receiving something back, that quality matters, mission toward something bigger than the self is vital and the joy of pleasure and luxury rather than guilt and shame is what I choose to carry--represented in a gorgeous leather bag.

Together, let's discover what is your “bag.” That thing that is a YES. The one that feels like pleasure and luxury. The thing that represents your commitment to your guiding principles (we'll find those together too), how to commit to them and how to receive the benefits of good health and well-being in a container of accountability and empowerment. 

Health and well-being coaching is your way to an abundant life.
