Everything I'd known up until now - my 30+ year marriage, my successful career, my role as a mum - was on the verge of change and as a result, I couldn't shake the thought of "I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM without it all!"
I came to Bree because I just wanted to feel GOOD about myself. I wanted to know in my bones, that I am OK, that I can do what is right for me and not feel so damn responsible for everyone else, while judging myself constantly!
Before finding Bree, I'd tried Counselling, Therapy and Coaching. I'd taken holidays to escape and I'd tried to show myself 'self-love'. As a very success business woman, I'd done a lot of professional development, which meant I was good in some area's of my life, but when it's just me, on my own without things and people to distract me, I just felt so empty. Nothing seemed to really work, deep down where I know I needed it.
I elected to participate in the Leverage Your Legacy, Ultimate Reset Package because I was sick to death of playing at the surface - I wanted to work on all of the deep-rooted issues that I knew was there, but could never pinpoint or fully express. I could see that my own insecurities were something that ran through the women in my family and when I talked to Bree about how we inherit these experiences, I could see that pattern was rich. And I wanted to break the cycle as best I could.
After my first conversation with Bree I knew she had my back - she could see through the facade that I often portray and pinpointed the emotional pain that I thought I'd so cleverly hidden. And after working with her for a few weeks, as we started to approach the 3rd stage of my Reset, I was more and more aware of how my stress-responses were underlying every little decision I made - I was in a pattern of 'people pleasing' and that meant I was walking on egg-shells - my nervous system was on overdrive!
In the 6+ months since working with Bree life has been anything but smooth sailing but it's because of this rocky time that I've really been able to see how much working with Bree has helped me!
My marriage, ran it's course - we are in different places and I deserve the freedom to chase what I want in my golden years and so I'm actively creating that for myself now.
My son and his fiance are currently in Israel, which given the circumstances, yes, it's scary, sad and all things kind of dreadful, but overall, I'm ok. He's grown - they are both living their lives and I realise that I am ok with that.
AND, I've sold my 30+ year business, so that's come to an end too! BIG Life Events have happend, and although I've had brief moments of feeling things - with everything that's going on, that's expected - but overall, I'm so good WITHIN MYSELF! I have MOMENTS now instead of DAYS!!!
And when I think back on who I was in May 23, and how far I've come - I honestly can not even connect to that sad, empty woman anymore! Bree, thank YOU for giving me back ME!"
