Confessions From A Haute Mess!
How surreal is this! I can't believe that I am finally living my best life! It only took 40 years to get here, but I am so grateful. This blog is dedicated to all of the incredible females who dared to save themselves.
From destruction to reconstruction!
These pictures look beautiful, don't they? They certainly don't depict what my life was like a year ago. It was only recently that I overcame a 30-year addiction to alcohol and quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey after 27 years. I'm down 21 pounds and I finally started my coaching business. It has been an ugly and messy journey, and I am still not exactly where I want to be, but, hey; at least I'm not where I used to be.
Turning my pain into my purpose.
I can't explain the crippling effects my choices have had on my life. I honestly felt like I had many different people living inside me. The leader, the badass, the resourceful and resilient mom of four. But then, there was also the follower, the people-pleaser, the impatient hormonal mess, and the undercover alcoholic. I never thought I would be able to pull myself out of that deep dark hole I dug for myself, but I did it. It sure as shit wasn't easy! I had to hit rock bottom first, but I wouldn't change a thing. Darker days are just as much a part of life as are the good days graced with sunshine, and I have learned to embrace both. I am in the midst of overhauling my entire life starting by being brutally honest about who I am, who I was, and who the f*@k I intend to be. This blog, Confessions From a Haute Mess, will include REAL bits of my life from past to present. I hope it will help other women realize that it is more than okay to own who are and not feel the need to have to apologize for it. Any clients I attract will know who they are dealing with at all times. I am here to share your journey with you, and remind you of who you are so you can reclaim your power! How amazing would life be if we as women could learn to celebrate each other and empower each other without judgment?! Join me in my journey to change the world and unapologetically live life on purpose.
