Mentorship acts as the bridge on your journey of transformation. We transcend coaching , goal-setting and structured “systems”: this is about becoming. Can goals and systems be a part of that? Absolutely! Our relationship acts as the “scaffolding” support as you embark on new ways of being with yourself, and also with others.

The mentorship relationship is designed to help you gain the freedom you’ve been longing for. True inner- freedom is not about being struggle-free, having ideal circumstances, or doing whatever we want, whenever we want. Freedom is about maintaining an attitude toward life - even when it doesn’t go our way - where we remain open and soft. Where we are not bound by resentment or forever weighed down by pain.

You will learn the “how” in transforming pain. Is there a step by step protocol for this? No. Gosh, how I wish there were! It is an art. A skill. Something you learn by doing and something no one should have to do alone. Life can be challenging, and sometimes, it can weigh us down. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you or with life - it is all part of the human experience. Our relationship is guided to bring you through those difficult times - so you can (in due time) use them as a source of power and strength. Broken bones grow back stronger. Your heart can, too.

Inner peace is not some distant dream. It’s not about never struggling or feeling “zen” all the time. It’s not a perpetual state of calm. Peace can be anywhere from: learning to quiet and move through oppressive thoughts or emotions to righting a relationship between you and another, to the concept of “living well.” At its Hebrew root the word peace largely means “to be complete or whole.” Pursuing wholeness is also the pursuit of peace. It’s a state of being you can embody, regardless of the chaos that may be going on around you. Our mentorship time together is tailored to you - to help you nurture that inner peace within.

When hope feels distant, like a lofty fairytale, or too scary to even consider, I am here to help you cling to it. Often times we want the guarantee that “it will work out” before we are willing to hope. However, commitment is the basis of hope - if we aren’t willing to risk and commit, we only have wishful thinking and fairytales. Hope can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve experienced disappointment. How hopeful of a person would you say you are? Do you believe your best days can be ahead of you? What would your life look like if you had more hope? What would you even hope for, if you were daring enough to do so? We will work together to breathe fresh air into your life and illuminate the path toward a brighter future.

It has been said that “peace is joy at rest, and joy is peace on its feet.” I love this simple explanation because they really are cousins to one another. Joy is not happiness - it is a deep, steady confidence that God is in control of ALL things in your life. At times, we can feel sorrow and joy simultaneously and this is a profound experience. The deeper we let sorrow carve out room in us, the deeper we get to experience joy. And in times of difficulty, joy can feel illusive or be the first to go. This mentorship would be incomplete if I didn’t provide the invitation toward greater joy in your life and how powerful it can be in creating resilience and healing.
