"My greatest difficulty is that following on from my journey with you to reclaim my authentic self and find peace in my life, I can barely recall the state that I was in last year. But here goes.....

 

In 2019, I reached for the stars and applied for a job that I did not expect to get. However, the universe had other plans and to my surprise and excitement I landed the senior managers position. Outwardly I was excited and delighted however the job quickly exposed every crack in my being - self doubt; not being good enough; afraid to speak up; shouldering responsibilities that were not mine and being a people pleaser. This quickly put me in a space of fear and defensiveness; feeling alone and with no one to turn to. Leaving the job was not an option and so after following Fiona's page on facebook for several months, this was the impetus for me to make that phone call and I am so glad that I did. 

 

Working with Fiona for the three months was the greatest gift and investment that I have given myself. Fiona created a supportive and safe space where I was able to explore my fears and feelings of not being good enough. To see the mask that I was wearing and to understand the roots from which my fears, lack of trust, taking on responsibility for everyone around me and people pleasing came from. I was able to understand, forgive and rewrite those early memories in a way that has allowed me to move forwards in peace and calm and with boundaries. I am now able to be empathic towards the circumstances of those around me without feeling a connection or pull to their situation which would previously have me putting them first and supporting them. Now I listen without any connection to their issue. It is theirs and not mine. I have all care and no sense of responsibility which is so freeing.

 

last year my body was vibrating/shaking from the pressure of the mask that I wore. Now I have rediscovered and reclaimed my authentic self. My body is calm and peaceful as the mask is gone and it is safe to truly be seen. I no longer loose sleep and where I was experiencing work as a battle ground now this is a neutral space and I have a supportive team around me. I see my freedom in the every day and am acting upon a better plan for self care that sees my taking time out from work and family to do the things that make my soul sing.

 

I can not thank you enough Fiona for the way that you supported me to come home to myself. "
