A Personal Trainer For The Woman’s Soul, with Lisa Garber
I experienced an identity crisis after the birth of my first child. I hadn’t realised it, but until then, my identity had been intertwined with my career. I was one of those people who loved the question ‘’So, what do you do?’’ because I had I believed was a unique and captivating career in nuclear waste management.
However, everything changed after becoming a mother. I found myself at a loss when faced with the typical ‘’So, what do you do?’’. Yes I was still ‘’doing’’ my job, but I was also doing a lot more!
I had to re-evaluate what this meant for my purpose and identity.
Fast forward 5 years and much soul-searching and therapy, I now run an online yoga business and am a podcaster. To get started on this new journey, I joined a business coaching programme led by Susanne Rieker.
Initially, I expected to learn all about the online world, sales, marketing, and how to turn my hobby, and part-time side hustle, Yoga, into a profitable and scalable business.
To my surprise, this business programme also included monthly Mindset Coaching sessions with a remarkable life-coach, Lisa Garber.
I questioned the purpose of these sessions. Wasn’t the focus supposed to be on developing a business, and not therapy? Well, I couldn’t have more wrong.
Just like becoming a mother, starting a business challenges you in every aspects of your life. It presents an opportunity to face our inner demons: What will others think of me? What if nobody shows up? What if I fail? The guilt of spending my time and energy between the children and this online business.
And so many other inner mind-demons unexpectedly emerged as I entered the world of entrepreneurship and motherhood. These mind-set coaching sessions with Lisa quickly became the highlight of the month!
