"I would've never imagined that what I had hoped for would be so much more than I had envisioned"

Quick summary

After decades of professional success at the cost of personal happiness, Dr. discovered the Certified Life Coach program during a difficult transition. The transformation exceeded all expectations, making them a better listener, communicator, and parent while building the foundation for a purpose-driven future.

Prior to starting the Certified Life Coach program I was navigating through personal challenges and major changes in almost all aspects of my life. As a business owner and healthcare professional for more than two decades, I realized that I had achieved much success at the sacrifice of happiness.

When looked back on my life, I began to understand that what truly brought me happiness was serving others, either through leadership, volunteer work, or my non-profits. I decided I wanted to be a Life Coach and serendipitously came across the Mindvalley Certified Life Coach program and, during a very difficult time, made the decision to go on this journey with the intention to help myself at the moment - and with the desire to be able to help others in the future.

I would've never imagined that what I had hoped for would be so much more than I had envisioned. The program changed my life. I became a better listener. A better communicator. A better mom. A better person. The community support was invaluable - not just to help me grow through the program and be a Life Coach, but also embraced me as a person wholeheartedly. Everyone sincerely wanted to ensure that I reached my personal and professional goals.

I am truly grateful for Mindvalley, the Certified Life Coach program, and all the people who took a sincere interest in me and my life goals. I am confident with the skills and support that Vishen, Ajit, Fran and the community brought me through the Certified Life Coach program I will accomplish my goals and live a happier and healthier life. I have already seen the difference and the impact those skills I have learned are making in others' lives. And I am looking forward to the future and continued success of helping others through what the Certified Life Coach program has instilled in me and brought to my life.
