From Adversity to Empowerment: My Journey to Find Your Life Balance Coaching

Life has a way of testing our limits, often in ways we least expect. In 2019, a routine drive to work turned into a life-altering event when I was rear-ended in a car accident. It was my seventh concussion, almost two years to the day after my sixth. The physical and emotional toll was immense, pulling me away from a career I loved and into a long, grueling journey of recovery. But from that hardship emerged an opportunity to reimagine my purpose. Today, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Find Your Life Balance Coaching, a business built from resilience, transformation, and the unwavering belief that growth is possible, no matter the circumstances.

The Turning Point: From Setback to Realization

The aftermath of the accident was far from easy. Recovery stretched over five years and included countless hours of therapy, reflection, and the painful acknowledgment that my life as I knew it had changed forever. I had built a successful career in IT, advancing from a college dropout to a Senior IT and Facilities Manager—a role I loved. I prided myself on leading my team to greatness, taking the worst-rated department and turning it into the best by implementing Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), coaching, and empowering others.

Yet, when faced with the reality of my disability, I had to confront my own limiting beliefs. Would I ever contribute in the same meaningful way? Was my professional identity tied solely to the IT world? These questions fueled my journey inward, revealing a greater purpose: to use my unique skills and experiences to help others overcome their challenges.

The Birth of a New Mission

Through professional speaker training with Les Brown, leadership development with the Dale Carnegie Institute, and a deep understanding of mindset and OKRs, I realized my path wasn’t over—it was evolving. I began to see how the strategies I used to drive business success could be applied to life itself. By aligning mindset, actionable goals, and measurable progress, I had the tools to create something new: a coaching program designed to inspire transformation in others.

Find Your Life Balance Coaching is more than a business—it’s a calling. It’s the culmination of everything I’ve learned, from navigating personal setbacks to achieving professional milestones. My mission is to guide entrepreneurs, business leaders, and teams in breaking free from limiting beliefs, developing processes that support ambitious goals, and ultimately achieving balance in both their personal and professional lives.

Lessons from Transformation: Why This Matters

Transformation isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it. I’ve lived the frustration of feeling stuck, the fear of starting over, and the triumph of discovering untapped potential. I know firsthand how limiting beliefs can keep you trapped, whether it’s doubting your ability to grow a business, lead a team, or pursue a dream that feels just out of reach.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that success doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a deliberate process. It starts with a mindset shift, followed by setting clear objectives and actionable steps. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to scale, a business leader seeking to improve team performance, or an individual chasing a deeply personal goal, the principles remain the same: clarity, commitment, and consistency.

A Coaching Program Rooted in Real-World Experience

At Find Your Life Balance Coaching, I’ve developed a three-pillar framework to support transformation:

1. Mindset Mastery: Challenging limiting beliefs and fostering a growth-oriented outlook.

2. Strategic Goals: Using OKRs to align ambitions with actionable, measurable results.

3. Execution Excellence: Creating actionable plans, implementing strategies, and consistently measuring progress.

   
   

These pillars are rooted in the same strategies I used to turn struggling teams into high-performing units, move data centers with zero downtime, and lead business expansions across the globe. Now, they’re tools for helping my clients achieve their own breakthroughs.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Find Your Life Balance Coaching

Launching this business represents the next chapter in my journey. It’s about taking everything I’ve learned and using it to empower others. Whether I’m speaking to a room full of leaders, coaching a small team, or working one-on-one with a client, my goal is the same: to inspire transformation and equip people with the tools they need to succeed.

My story isn’t just about recovery—it’s about rediscovery. It’s proof that even in the face of life’s most challenging circumstances, there is a path forward.
