From Basically Living to Living Blissfully

Too often we feel divided, pulled in too many directions. Our minds get hyperactive, we do do do but the meaningful work always seem left behind. My special approach for quieting the busy mind requires us to integrate every aspect of our lives - our roles, values, responsibilities and dreams. Using a HeartMind integration model, each challenge is overcome with grace and ease.

Over the better part of two decades, I achieved my professional goals - a meaningful executive role, a successful side hustle, and financial stability. And, I was blessed with two children and loving friends. It should have felt great but something was out of sorts. My busy mind had me engaged 24x7 - performance goals, parent/teacher meetings, events, household management and the like.

If I took time to pause, it felt too uncomfortable so I just kept going until I sprained two ankles within two days of each other and couldn't walk. I was forced to sit with myself. I began looking for the root of the discomfort. I looked to my work, my side hustle and at home. After a great deal of denial and attempts to ignore the obvious, I finally admitted that I was burnt out personally and professionally.

There were consultants that could help with business, therapists that could help with the mental fatigue and parenting classes galore. Still it was all segmented, bits and pieces were helpful in keeping me afloat but nothing was changing. I needed to address the whole picture not just the individual parts.

It was rocky at first. It required a commitment to wellness and a willingness to look at every aspect of my life with a fresh perspective. Frustration, tears, divorce and identity loss all wove into this time of transition. There were moments that felt as if living in my heart's truth would be impossible. I stayed the course and found the bridge to joy through these HeartMind integration strategies.

Today, life only continues to get better. Quality time with family & close friends, personal care, women's inspirational events, awesome professional colleagues, writing/coaching/consulting - I get to do it all. I laugh more, cry less, celebrate everything fully enjoying my work and family again!

Today, I use these well researched HeartMind integration strategies, that worked for me, to guide women leaders in quieting their busy minds for sustainable results.
