You are ENOUGH!


Have you found yourself in situations where you did not feel enough?  Where you felt like you weren't even comfortable in your own skin?  I have been there!  

For years I felt unwanted and like no matter what I did I was never enough.  Due to those feelings of inadequacy I often made bad decisions in my life or do whatever I could just to feel accepted and to feel like I was enough.  I have learned over the years of bad decisions and mistakes that the first step was learning to be happy in my own skin and to love myself, which meant forgiving myself for all those bad decisions.  

Today I love the woman I am and more importantly I know God made me enough.  In no way am I perfect, but I am imperfectly happy.  Yes, I still make bad decisions, but I take responsibility for each decision I make and I strive to do better each day.  As a certified life coach I want to help people feel comfortable in their own skin.  No matter what you've done in your past, you aren't your past, it shaped you and it guided you to this point in your life, but you are NOT your past.  When you find yourself loving who you are you will find yourself learning to be comfortable within your own skin.  

Once you are comfortable within your own skin you will realize that you are enough.  Seek and surround yourself with people who embrace the person you are, who lift you up and encourage you on your journey, instead of dragging you down.  As a life coach I strive to give my clients a safe place to learn exactly who they are in this moment and grow into the person they want to be.  No matter how long their journey takes them through each phase I want them to know they are free to feel safe in their own skin, they are worthy, and they are absolutely ENOUGH!

10 Years

A lot can happen in a short period of time, but wow at what can transpire in a decade. So let me take you back for a moment to August 7, 2013.  On that day I had been in a place of depression and heartbreak over the ending of my marriage.  I had moved back to Missouri from Oklahoma and was simply trying to survive emotionally one moment at a time.  August 7th dawned very bright and sunny and my family (my parents, my brother, sister-in-law, and both my nieces) had chosen to make a point of spending that day with me.  You see that was the day my divorce was to be final.  I was going back to being Lisa Freeland.  I know longer even knew who Lisa Freeland was nor did I have any clue what my future held, because all my hopes and dreams had come to a crashing destructive end.  Little did I know that all that destruction was only the beginning to becoming the woman God had created me to be! Since that moment I have had some pretty major setbacks ...

Sticks and Stones

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Odds are you heard this and probably even said this as a child. It was our way of being tough and standing up for ourselves. However, the truth is words can be more damaging than sticks and stones. Words cut so deeply and the effects last far longer than physical evidence. Sadly, kind words spoken to or about us are easily brushed aside but the negative words, they cut deep, they last, and they rarely miss their mark. When those damaging words are said within a relationship that's very unhealthy. People consider that an abusive relationship only happens when someone becomes violent, but the truth is verbal, psychological, and emotional abuse are just as damaging. Using words to attack someone often makes them feel small and insignificant, causing them to become more and more withdrawn and isolated. They will start to internalize bad events and situations and actually start to believe they ...

Storms

Have you ever considered how the storms of our lives are often very similar to the storms of nature?  They come with winds and rain, sometimes feeling almost evil when they include driving rain, and leave behind damage and debris.   The past couple of weeks I have been going through a very strong personal storm.  There would be small windows of calm and then the storms would start again, and I was getting slammed in every direction.  I found myself fighting to breathe and struggling to stand in the wake of all the storms coming at me.  To say my determination and resolve wavered would be an understatement.  I felt as if I had nothing left to offer, reaching a very low place last Thursday.   Then Friday dawned NEW AND BRIGHT! Still I had a few minor storm come at me, but this time it was different because I remembered where my help comes from and who can calm not only the storms of nature, but my personal storms.   What a...
