"The most significant change was in my relationship with my partner"

When I joined the program in February 2025 my life was in every sort of transition. I had just left 20 years of building a community organization, I moved in with my elderly mother, and all the transitions were shaking me and impacting my relationship with my partner. I first took a few Mind Valley courses in the fall and found that they were quite helpful in grounding me. The Certified Life Coach program gave me a lot of tools to look differently at many situations and find more empowering ways of seeing things. The most significant change was in my relationship with my partner. I began to ask for what I needed more clearly and found that we had both been quietly suffering without asking the other for things we needed. This significantly shifted a really bad dynamic that had started a few months earlier and shifted some negative behaviours that were undermining our ability to connect. I feel like I have really just scratched the surface of the ways I can use the tools from this course. I think it will take time to really embody the changes and feel fully ready to share with others. I am looking forward to continuing to meet with people from the cohort who I feel are also just beginning to blossom into their best lives.
