To answer this question, I have to admit some vulnerable stuff. I feel more in control of my life than ever now, at 53 years old, but it was not always this way.

My struggle with anxiety and overwhelm started when I was very young. It was mostly a need to be perfect and in control, to begin with, "the perfectionist" mentality. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning.

This way of thinking became routine and habit. Continuing to do this over the years became very detrimental to my health.

I started having pains in my stomach and migraine headaches in the fifth grade. I started public school, switching from a private school in which my family was very involved. I couldn't control things anymore. So I started making myself sick with anxiety.

By the time I was 17 to 18 years old, doctors had put me on medication for anxiety, and all the GI issues began to be an everyday occurrence along with panic attacks; those are fun.

My first ulcer was found at 18 years old. I went on to have debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. To the point, I couldn't be in a car after dark without being able to be home alone at night and many other random anxiety-causing situations. I never understood any of it. It just started and stopped and shifted to something else overnight.

Fast forward to my mid-30s, I now have 42 bleeding ulcers. Yes, 42! These eventually led to a significant stomach surgery in 2013. My ulcers were from pure stress and anxiety. No bacteria are responsible for it. I internalized all my anxiety, stress, and being overwhelmed. I now have gastroparesis, which means my stomach is paralyzed. I don't digest food without taking a pill before everything I eat. So it's pretty extensive all that goes with it, but I am still living with the effects of my anxiety and the lack of control it has done to my body.

I had conversations with my children, who both told me familiar stories of feelings they were experiencing due to anxiety. This tore me up.

At that moment, something inside me screamed, "they are not alone, and I must do something to stop this epidemic."

I committed to figuring out how to live and control my anxiety and help my children and others who suffer from debilitating anxiety and feel overwhelmed.

I decided to do something about it. Get educated and become a life coach. I want to help people across the globe create an entirely new relationship with anxiety and overwhelm with my Total Life Transformation system.

I work with people who struggle with anxiety and overwhelm. They are ready for a step-by-step system to get peace and clarity and experience life to the fullest.

• Most life coaches give you a checklist of what to do and what not to do. For people who struggle with anxiety and overwhelm, if this approach had worked, it would have worked already.

• But, "do this, not that" does not work because these emotions are not just controllable; it's about our inability to cope with the stresses of day-to-day life.

• So first and foremost, my coaching is about transforming beliefs and mindsets, so my clients can be present with themselves and their lives in a whole new way. I follow that work with step-by-step guidelines around practices to approach situations, relationships, and lifestyles.

• Something else that makes me different from other life coaches is that I give action steps that are specialized for each of my clients. I don't do the same programs with every client. Your program is for you and your specific issues.

• What that means for you is that I am very focused on each person and the specific struggles that they are experiencing.

• Because my focus is very narrow and I have personal experience overcoming these challenges, what you get with me is a deep level of expertise on what works to recover from anxiety and overwhelm. I've become very educated on this topic, and that's why clients get great results that they are thrilled with, and we have a lot of fun along the way.

• My Total Life Transformation programs were created for people who are absolutely ready and fully committed to having a new relationship with themselves and others—taking back their life and living it to their fullest.

• These programs were created for you to put systems around anxiety and overwhelm in place in 30, 60, and 90 days, which will eventually lead you to have an experience of peace and even joy in your life.

• Consider what you'll do with me as a transformational experience where you consistently take action. No more worrying that you'll never find something that works for you. You'll open up to a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this exhilarating freedom; ending the war with anxiety and overwhelm so you can experience a Total Life Transformation.

• I only have openings for two new clients per month in my schedule, so please know I'm very selective about who I work with, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren't suited for my program and won't get the results they would have invested in (it wouldn't be fair to them).

• The total life transformation system is not for those who aren't ready to commit financially to their transformation, and it is not for those who want a list of "do this, do that" (because if that worked for my type of client, it would have worked already).

• Another kind of person I won’t work with (without exception) is the whiner or the chronic skeptic, as well as individuals who consistently don't show up to sessions or make excuses to keep putting themselves and their health last on the list of priorities.

• If you are one of these people, I gently and respectfully ask that you do not schedule an initial conversation with me, and I hope you understand why. We'll probably just not work well together, and I wouldn't want you to waste your time or money. Is that fair?

• The Total Life Transformational system is a holistic journey that involves mind, body, and soul healing.

• We're going to cover all things using the "6 W Questions"-remember those from 6th grade when you learned about journalism? The 6 W Questions are who, what, when, where, why, and how.

• The "6 W Questions" constitute a simple formula for getting the complete story on any subject. (I am a former Private Investigator, so fact finding is another specialty I carry)

• When I'm working with you as my client, we are definitely looking for the complete story around your anxiety and overwhelm.

• That's why, in TLT, I'll walk you step by step through 1) how to get clarity, 2) obtaining life with less anxiety and overwhelm, and 3) stepping into your true purpose.

• Chances are good that other things haven't worked in the past because they didn't have the steps that addressed every part of you - mind, body, soul.

• Total Life Transformation solves that problem.

• In addition to these steps, you will learn tons of tips, tricks, and strategies to manage your anxiety and your life more easily.

• And to make your health and your life work for you (instead of the other way around)

• Yes! The result of our work is an approach to anxiety and overwhelm that has you feeling peaceful, powerful, and on purpose, maybe for the first time in your life.

• Be sure to read my testimonials.

• Create a vision for what your Total Life Transformation looks like.

• Anchor into your BIG WHY (this is the reason why making this change matters!)

• Clear clutter (emotionally and physically) from your life so you can make space for a new you.

• Get specifics on how to approach anxiety and overwhelm by: Awareness, honesty with self, willingness to let go, accept change, submission, and finalization.

• Discovering all that affects it and feeds your body and your souls like sleep and movement, love and sex, fun and play, and connection to That Which Is Greater.

• Being honest about what's working and what's not working in your career, relationships, family life, spiritual connection, and more (where do you say "yes" when you really mean "no"?)

• Learning how to receive help and support (you're always giving, but whose giving back to you?)

• Put yourself and your health first (this is your time - no more putting yourself last on your priority list)

• If you've tried and failed in the past, chances are good that you didn't have the proper support, system, or accountability.

• In Total Life Transformation, you'll get all of these.

• Part of the significant investment in this experience is to ensure that you show up for yourself like never before.

• If you add up all you spend and what it could cost you, you must consider time missed from work, missed time of just living life, doctor visits, medications, and ways to cope with anxiety.How much would that be?

• If things don’t change, how much would you spend or loose in the coming years in search of a solution?

For most of my clients, the answer to both is A LOT!

I want you to stop reading for just one moment to ask yourself, “What is Clarity and Peace in my life worth to me?” The information and skills you learn with me and the personal transformation you make - Total Life Transformation will be with you forever, transforming your health and your life in so many ways.

Anxiety is the cause of stress, which is physically harmful. It can affect your quality of life, contribute to unhealthy habits or behaviors, addictions, lack of control of situations, major illness, suicide, and death.

• Congratulations on deciding on a new life transformation. I'm honored and excited to be your guide on this journey.

• You can officially enroll in the Total Life Transformation during our initial conversation.

• I will walk you through how to make the investment (I accept all major credit cards, so processing the investment will be easy)

• We will choose a recurring day of the week and time for your sessions.

  • These sessions should be considered a sacred time - they are the first priority because YOU are the priority.

  • Sessions will occur once per week for 90 days.

• I'll send you a "welcome email" with a coaching program agreement (you'll sign this agreement before our first session.)

• Yes, about ½ of my clients want to continue the work - they love the ongoing support and stretch. If that's something you'd like, I'll share how you can do that as we get closer to completing your first TLT experience.

• Absolutely. We'll be sure to cover all of your questions, plus the Breakthrough Session will give you first-hand experience of what it would feel to have a powerful coach and mentor in your corner.
