In today’s fast paced world, where we often find ourselves relentlessly chasing success, possessions, and experiences, we tend to overlook a remarkable source of personal growth and transformation, reflection.
This often underrated practice invites us to pause, delve into our memories, experiences, and emotions, and harness their profound potential.
It’s not about dwelling on regrets or wallowing in nostalgia, instead, it’s an opportunity to extract invaluable lessons from our past, heal old wounds, and carve out a brighter future.
Let’s explore how this seemingly simple yet profound act of reflection can inspire, captivate, motivate, and ultimately transform our lives.
How to Use The Transformative Power of Reflection:
Gaining Wisdom
Wisdom is a treasure born of experience, a beacon that guides us through life’s intricate maze.
When we take the time to reflect on our past, we unearth the raw material from which wisdom is made.
It’s akin to standing before a patchwork, a grand tapestry, observing the intricate patterns woven from our successes and failures.
Through reflection, we scrutinize the choices we’ve made and the consequences they’ve borne.
This introspection reveals patterns and recurring themes that guide us towards sound judgments in the present and future.
Wisdom, then, becomes the fruit of our reflection, a compass that steers us through the challenges that lie ahead.
Seeking Insight
Reflection is not limited to the external world, it’s also a voyage into the inner recesses of our being.
It allows us to fathom the motivations, fears, and desires that propel our actions.
This process of self discovery unveils profound insights that serve as the catalyst for personal growth.
As we delve deep into our past, we may stumble upon hidden talents, passions, or unresolved issues.
This newfound self awareness becomes the first step toward nurturing our strengths and addressing our weaknesses.
It’s a journey that leads to self improvement and transformation, ultimately guiding us towards becoming the best version of ourselves.
Healing Old Wounds
The past often conceals wounds, some visible, others deeply buried.
These wounds can cast a shadow over our lives, influencing our choices and behaviors.
However, through reflection, we can embark on a journey of healing.
Reflecting on past traumas and hardships isn’t about dwelling on pain, it’s about confronting it with courage and compassion.
It’s about acknowledging the scars that have shaped us and understanding their influence on our lives.
Healing is not a linear process, but through reflection, we begin to mend the broken pieces of our hearts and souls, freeing ourselves to move forward unburdened.
Transformation
Transformation naturally unfolds as we gain wisdom, insight, and heal.
As we reflect upon our past, we gather the tools needed to shape a better future.
The beauty of this transformation lies in its ripple effect, it extends beyond ourselves.
Our personal transformation influences our relationships, careers, and the world around us.
Armed with newfound wisdom and insight, we become catalysts for positive change.
We inspire and motivate others to embark on their journeys of self discovery and transformation, becoming beacons of hope and possibility.
Unlocking Your Best Self:
In conclusion, reflection is a powerful practice that can inspire, captivate, motivate, and transform our lives.
It serves as the gateway to wisdom, the key to unlocking insight, the path to healing, and the catalyst for transformation.
In a world that often glorifies ceaseless pursuit of the future, it’s crucial not to forget the immense treasure that lies in our past.
Today, I invite you to take a moment to pause, look back, and dive deep into your own history.
There, you will find the wisdom, insight, healing, and transformation needed to navigate the present and create a brighter, more fulfilling future.
The power to change your life has always been within you, waiting to be discovered through the profound act of reflection.
As your coach, I stand ready to guide and support you on this transformative journey.
Together, we will unlock the full potential of reflection, helping you not just exist but thrive.
Are you ready to embark on this incredible adventure toward your best self? If so, let’s take that first step together.
As you age, your body becomes more fragile and prone to illness. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that many seniors will face terminal illnesses at some point in their lives.
These diseases can be devastating, not only for the seniors themselves but also for their families.
This blog will discuss the most common terminal illnesses in seniors, their symptoms, and the treatment options available.
It is a disease that can affect any part of the body and can spread rapidly.
Symptoms of cancer include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and pain.
Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.
2. Heart disease.
Heart disease is another common terminal illness in seniors.
It is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can block blood flow to the heart.

COPD is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties.
It is caused by smoking, air pollution, and genetics.
Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, and chronic cough.

5. Stroke.
A stroke is a serious condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off.
Seniors are particularly at risk, given the prevalence of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other contributing factors in this age group.
Common symptoms of a stroke may encompass abrupt numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg.
Other indications may include confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, impaired vision in one or both eyes and a severe headache.

Living With a Terminal Illness:

Besides the treatment options discussed above, you should also:
1. Stay involved in activities you enjoy.

3. Take care of your health.
Eating healthily, exercising regularly, and getting enough rest will help you maintain your strength and energy levels.
It will also help to reduce stress which can be beneficial for both physical and mental health.
4. Employ the help of professionals.

Beyond that, maintaining a positive outlook, seeking support, prioritizing health, and utilizing professional help can significantly enhance the quality of life.
Remember, it’s not just about extending life, it’s about making the most of every day.

In the symphony of life, there are three powerful notes that can orchestrate a harmonious existence: self compassion, forgiveness, and self acceptance.
These notes hold the key to unlocking a life of inner peace, resilience, and authentic happiness.
Imagine a life where you treat yourself with unwavering kindness, free yourself from the chains of resentment, and embrace your uniqueness without hesitation.
Let’s transform your life, rekindle your spirit and inspire you to delve deeper into the realms of self compassion, forgiveness, and self acceptance.
3 Steps How to Become The Most Powerful Version of YOU:
1. The Magic of Self Compassion.
In a world that often demands perfection, the art of self compassion is a gentle revolution that starts from within.
It all starts from within.
Imagine being your own best friend, offering yourself understanding and grace, especially when you stumble or falter.
Self compassion is not an act of indulgence, it’s a lifeline that helps you navigate the ups and downs of life with an open heart.
It’s about embracing your humanness, celebrating your victories, and embracing your setbacks as steppingstones toward growth.
The more you learn to treat yourself with kindness, the more you can radiate that kindness to others.
Remember what you are on the inside, radiates out from you to the world.
2. The Liberation of Forgiveness.
Carrying the weight of past hurts and grievances is like being chained to a heavy anchor.
But forgiveness is the key that unlocks the shackles, allowing you to soar freely.
It’s important to note that forgiveness is not about condoning the wrongs done to you. Rather, it’s about releasing yourself from the prison of pain and resentment.
When you forgive, you set yourself free from the burdens that have held you back, and you pave the way for healing to flourish.
As you embrace forgiveness, you create space for positivity, light to fill your heart, and magic to happen in your life.
3. Embracing Your Authentic Self.
In a world that often sets unrealistic standards, the journey to self acceptance is a radical act of courage.
It’s about acknowledging your flaws and imperfections without judgment and embracing the beautiful tapestry of your being.
When you accept yourself fully, you grant yourself permission to shine your unique light, unencumbered by the fear of judgment.
Self acceptance doesn’t mean you’re exempt from growth, it means you’re committed to nurturing your inner garden, fostering self love, and fostering an unshakeable sense of worthiness.
Remember it is a journey and not a destination.
We are a work in progress and forever changing, growing, and transforming.
Conclusion: Your Journey, Your Triumph
The path to self compassion, forgiveness, and self acceptance is a journey that transcends time and space.
It’s a journey that every soul must undertake to live a life that is truly fulfilling and authentic.
As you delve deeper into these transformative virtues, remember that you are not alone on this path.
Your life is a canvas awaiting the brushstrokes of self compassion, forgiveness, and self acceptance, each stroke painting a masterpiece of resilience, empowerment, and inner joy.
So, embrace the power within you.
Embrace the journey.
And as you do, you’ll discover a world of self discovery, growth, and limitless possibility that awaits your embrace.

In our quest to dive deeper into self compassion, forgiveness, and self acceptance, let’s turn our attention to a guiding light in this transformative journey: Dr. Dolores Fazzino.
An embodiment of wisdom and healing, Dr. Fazzino’s teachings resonate with the very essence of what it means to be human.
Her extensive background as a nurse practitioner, medical intuitive, and holistic healer has equipped her with a profound understanding of the body, mind, and spirit connection.

Both THC and THC can be helpful for people who struggle with nausea or appetite disorder, perhaps due to a medical condition or treatment plan.
They both activate receptors that can help a person to eat more.
For instance, the actions of both cannabinoids can increase the production of ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
Ghrelin is a hormone that makes you feel hungry.
The more ghrelin you have in your body, the hungrier you will feel.
By elevating ghrelin levels, they can help you to eat more.
They can also help you to keep food down.
They modulate receptors that regulate gut functions to help you withstand triggers that cause vomiting.
Both cannabinoids are effective for nausea.
However, a 2013 study confirms that THCA is a more potent ant nausea agent than THC.
3. Neuroprotection
Both THCA and THC have neuroprotective properties.
They can support brain function, protect against neurological damage, and promote brain health.
They eliminate free oxygen radicals which may cause cellular damage in the brain.
Studies confirm that the interaction of cannabinoids with the ECS can slow the progress of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
We do not advise or promote the usage of cannabis. We are just sharing information that some readers might find helpful. It’s always the smartest decision to consult with your doctor before making an important decision for your health.
Ruchi Khanna is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her dedication and skills.
She has been an educator for over 16 years and Special Educator for 10 years. However, she realized that she wanted to help people on a deeper level, not just addressing the symptoms but the root of their issues. And that most often comes from their belief system.
She helps people get insight into their system of beliefs so they can be aware, keep what serves them, dispose of what does not serve them, and install a new belief system that would support the lives that they dream, desire, and deserve.
Her coaching approach is all about transformation. She likes to acy as a mirror to her clients so that they may see their motivations, strengths, weaknesses, purpose, and blockages clearly in order to find their answers and solutions themselves. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Ruchi Khanna:
Name: Ruchi Khanna
Pillar: The Spirit
Who is this coach for: Anyone who want to transform themselves into the best version of themselves.
How they can help: With using various tools and techniques that help people to get insight into their system of beliefs and values so they can keep what serves them, dispose of what does not serve them, and install a new belief system.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
We are doing very well.
We used the pandemic to come closer to each other and involve in learning new skills.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
I have observed that the Pandemic has taken being either way.
Some people gleaned it as an opportunity to master themselves and their lives, while others needed more support in overcoming the negativity surrounding it.
The pandemic gave me more time to reflect and work on myself at a deeper level.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
During the pandemic, I have learned that uncertainty and change will be the constant theme of life.
We need to be comfortable with these two Cs and be ready to adapt at any moment.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I have been an educator for over 16 years and Special Educator for 10 years.
Teaching and learning is what I do.
However, over the period of time, I realized that I want to help people at a deeper level by addressing the root than just the symptoms, which is the current trend in education as well as other related systems, which leaves me deeply unsatisfied.
This led me to sign up for the Life Coaching course so that I may help people experience transformation in their lives by empowering them.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Overcoming major illness, and challenging relationships has taught me that I had been in my own way all along.
My attitude and thoughts were responsible for what I manifested in my life.
This realization put me in the driver’s seat of my life.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
Since each client is unique, the approach taken to help them will be unique as well.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
I like to act like a mirror to my clients so that they may see their motivations, strengths, weaknesses, purpose, and blockages clearly and find their answers and solutions themselves.
My goal is to empower my clients, so they are evolving to their next level.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
They experience transformation in more than one area of life, although they might be focused on working in one area of their lives.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
The tools to get insight into their system of beliefs and values give them a level of awareness that empowers them to keep what serves them, dispose of what does not serve them, and install a new belief system that would support the lives that they dream, desire, and deserve.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
You are more powerful than you realize.
Do not give in to negativity and settle for less than you deserve.
It is all POSSIBLE!
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
The greatest lesson that I have learned in my life is that we have the power to change ANYTHING in life.
We hold the key to the life of our dreams.
The treasures that we are looking for are buried underneath our feet.
Your final thoughts?
Nothing to add.

Amber Schmidt is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her wisdom and vast toolkit.
She started her coaching career as a result of her healing journey. She found herself miserable with her office career, fighting to bring herself to work each day, uninspired and numbing out in various ways. She realized how much dance and yoga helped her get out of her spiraling mind and back into her body. That was the catalyst for her transformation into alignment with her intuition, true calling and soul.
She is a better version of herself today. She empowers her clients to navigate their paths, mend their inner dialogue, and realign with their true essence.
Her coaching style isn’t about dictating solutions, it’s about fostering self trust and intuition, enabling individuals to become architects of their destiny. Here is what she said.
Meet Life Coach Amber Schmidt:
Name: Amber Schmidt
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind, The Body, The Heart
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to align with their soul, heal, achieve wellness, gain clarity and take control of the direction of their life.
How they can help: Through various tools and techniques like Reiki, Meditation, Yoga and Dance, Breath Work, Self Study Questions and Journaling.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
I am doing very well and my family is settling back into a more normal pace and flow post Pandemic.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
The pandemic was a collective dark night of the soul.
Everyone was forced to look at their lives and what was working and not working.
In my case, I knew I needed to create my soul purpose business, which is now my coaching business.
I could feel the collective energy and knew I needed to support their healing.
I unprogrammed the corporate world hustle mindset from my being and found myself providing online yoga and wellness classes to bring people together, out of their racing minds, and into their bodies.
I pursued many certifications and studies during this time as well so I could fully step into my purpose path.
The clients that came to me were wanting community and support with all that was breaking down in their lives.
They were having realizations of things that weren’t working, but weren’t sure what to fill the gaps with.
I supported them in creating a new vision for their life and how they wanted to show up in it going forward.
Giving them tools to support making positive shifts and guiding through any limiting blocks they faced to get there.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
That our souls crave community and inner alignment.
When we get told we can’t do things we feel we need to survive or get isolated against our will, our sense of safety and security gets stirred up.
We begin to panic and our mind takes over in a negative way which creates imbalance in our systems and lowers our immunity.
We have to learn and empower each other to own our nervous systems and feed them what they need to stay happy and healthy.
We need to stop chasing the dreams of others and listen to what our hearts desire for our lives answering the question, “How do I want to live my life and who do I want in it to support my journey forward?”
This allows us to feel more fulfilled, energized, and able to navigate the stressors of life with more ease.
Also allowing us to be available for deeper connections with family and friends in our lives and less consumed by our challenges.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
My coaching career was birthed out of my own healing journey.
I found myself miserable with my career, fighting to bring myself to work each day, uninspired and numbing out in various ways.
I noticed many of my colleagues feeling the same way.
We had overstretched ourselves trying to keep up with filling multiple roles after layoffs and unrealistic deadlines with little team support to get projects completed.
Overall, an office of burnt out individuals dreaming of a different way of life, feeling guilty for not having the time or emotional capacity left over to fully enjoy their families and lives outside of work.
On my journey to self reclamation, I realized how much dance and yoga helped me get out of my spiraling mind and back in my body.
How creating space for stillness and time in nature silenced my rational mind and accessed the inner wisdom of my intuition while also refilling my energetic cup.
I started to remember things that sparked joy in me and seek out activities that made me feel good.
I limited activities and interactions that did not feed my soul.
I created space for my healing using energy work and embodiment practices to move through all of the stuck emotions I was feeling about my career and how I was living my life.
I gave myself permission to feel and express all of the things I had been stuffing down and avoiding.
I dove deep into studying the mind and body connection and spirituality.
Learning how to bring mind, body, spirit back into alignment and heal my screaming inner child.
Through this journey back to myself I learned how to break down my barriers to love, heal my inner child, make friends with my sexuality and creative center, and express myself authentically without fear, shame or guilt.
To feel at home in my body and release the pain I had been carrying.
Allowing myself to create a life that brings more pleasure and play in and now supporting my clients to do the same.
As a Virgo and Projector my zone of genius is guiding and serving others in their healing journey.
I see the root causes and the shifts needed to get them back on track.
Starting out on this path to coaching as a yoga instructor and following my nudges to go deeper to be able to support others in a more transformational and sustainable way.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Switching from showing up as who I thought people wanted me to be, minimizing and shrinking my expression and doing or acting in ways that made others comfortable, to authentically being myself and listening to my own guidance to inspire others to do the same.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I innovate with coaching my clients by integrating all of the modalities I use first so they become part of my lifestyle and then guide my clients to do the same along their journey.
It’s one thing to study material and then tell people what they need to do and another to help them deeply understand and integrate practices and discover the modalities that really work to create transformation for their journey.
My method of coaching requires deep presence with my clients and guiding them to reconnect with their intuition and trust its guidance.
It’s a more spiritual approach that empowers them to their healing and a more aligned soulful path forward in life.
I act as a guide to reigniting their inner wisdom and teaching them how to support their mind, body, spirit connection to stay focused on their path forward and with more sustained energy levels to be available for those they want to spend more time with.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
It is a more spiritual approach than standard life coaching with use of a combination of holistic modalities that work to bring mind, body, and spirit back into alignment.
It empowers my clients to take control of the direction of their lives and discern between their fearful mind and intuitive mind.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
They feel more fulfilled in the direction of their lives and the way they are living.
They learn to love themselves deeply through the darkness and the light.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
Yes.
Reiki, Meditation, Yoga and Dance, Breath Work, Self Study Questions and Journaling.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
You are an incredible being and the world needs to experience your unique gifts.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
That we are all energetically connected and are more powerful than we realize.
We hold the key to our healing and that of the collective.
Your final thoughts?
If you had told me what I’d be doing today 5 years ago, I would have thought you were out of your mind.
Until we do the work to come home to our true state of being, we limit ourselves to what we are capable of doing and becoming.
If we can release the limiting beliefs we have about ourselves and become embodied humans, we can design a life that feels nourishing and return to our soul’s journey and purpose in this lifetime.

Orthotics are specialized devices designed to support, correct foot alignment, and alleviate various conditions.
Whether you suffer from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or other foot related issues, finding the right orthotics can significantly improve your overall foot health and comfort.
However, choosing the perfect orthotics for your needs can be overwhelming with so many options available.
In this article, we’ll explore essential tips to help you make an informed decision when selecting orthotics.
7 Tips to Choose Orthotics:
1. Consult with a Podiatrist or Foot Specialist.
Before delving into the orthotics world, consulting with a podiatrist or a foot specialist is crucial.
These healthcare professionals can assess your foot structure, gait, and any specific foot conditions you may have.
They can recommend the most suitable orthotics for your unique needs based on their evaluation.
Professional guidance ensures that you choose orthotics that cater to your specific foot requirements, leading to better foot health and comfort.
2. Identify Your Foot Condition and Needs.
Understanding your foot condition and needs is vital when selecting orthotics.
Are you dealing with arch pain, overpronation, or discomfort in the ball of your foot?
Identifying your specific foot issues will help you choose orthotics that target and address those problems.
Different types of orthotics are designed to address various foot conditions, so having clarity about your needs will guide you in making the right choice.
3. Choose the Right Type of Orthotics.
Orthotics come in various forms, and each type serves a different purpose.
The three main categories of orthotics are:
Rigid Orthotics: These are sturdy and durable orthotics designed to control foot movement and support conditions like high arches and overpronation.
Semi Rigid Orthotics: These orthotics offer a balance of support and cushioning, suitable for individuals with mild to moderate foot issues.
Soft Orthotics: These orthotics provide cushioning and shock absorption, ideal for individuals with foot pain and diabetes related foot problems.
Discuss with your podiatrist or foot specialist which type of orthotics best suits your foot condition.
4. Get the Right Size and Fit.
Getting the right size and fit for your orthotics is crucial for their effectiveness and overall comfort.
Ill fitted orthotics may cause discomfort, pain, and fail to provide the necessary support, defeating the purpose of using them in the first place.
To ensure you find orthotics that work well for you, consider the following tips:
1. Follow Sizing Guidelines.
Different brands and manufacturers may have varying sizing guidelines for their orthotics.
Before making a purchase, carefully review the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer.
Pay attention to the measurements and match them to your shoe size.
Remember that orthotics should fit comfortably inside your shoes without feeling too tight or bulky.
2. Try Before Buying.
Whenever possible, try the orthotics in your shoes before making a purchase.
Visit a local retailer or orthotic specialist to try various options.
Walk around and assess how they feel in your shoes.
Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance from the store staff to find the best fit for your feet.
3. Consider Different Arch Heights.
Orthotics come in various arch heights to cater to different foot types.
Some people have high arches, while others have low arches or flat feet.
Choose orthotics with the appropriate arch height for your feet.
Properly aligned arch support helps distribute pressure evenly across your feet and promotes better foot mechanics.
4. Ensure Proper Placement.
Ensure orthotics are correctly positioned under your arches when placing orthotics in your shoes.
Orthotics usually come with markings or guidelines to indicate the proper placement.
If unsure, consult your podiatrist or foot specialist to assist you with correct positioning.
5. Consider Orthotics with Adjustable Components.
Some orthotics come with adjustable components, allowing you to customize the fit further.
For example, certain orthotics may have removable pads or arch inserts that you can modify to suit your comfort needs.
These adjustable features can be especially beneficial if you have unique foot requirements or experience discomfort in specific areas.
5. Read Customer Reviews.
Read customer reviews and testimonials before purchasing orthotics from orthoticshop.com or any other retailer.
Real world experiences from other buyers can provide valuable insights into the comfort, durability, and effectiveness of the orthotics you’re considering.
6. Consider the Material.
Orthotics are made from various materials, including foam, gel, and rigid plastic.
The material affects the level of support, cushioning, and durability.
Foam and gel orthotics provide cushioning and shock absorption, making them suitable for those with foot pain.
Rigid plastic orthotics offer robust support and are ideal for individuals with structural foot issues.
Consider your foot condition and comfort preferences when selecting the material.
7. Decide Between Custom and Over the Counter Orthotics.
Custom orthotics are specifically tailored to fit your unique foot shape and needs.
They are recommended for individuals with severe foot conditions or those without relief with over the counter options.
While custom orthotics offer personalized support, they can be more expensive.
On the other hand, over the counter orthotics are readily available at stores and online.
They come in various sizes and types, catering to common foot issues.
Over the counter orthotics are a more affordable option and can work well for mild foot conditions.
Once you have selected a pair of orthotics, test them for comfort and effectiveness.
Wear them in your shoes and continue your regular activities to assess how well they support your feet.
Pay attention to any discomfort or pain and improvements in your foot condition.
Consider trying a different pair if the orthotics cause discomfort or don’t provide the expected support.
What You Should Remember?
Choosing the right orthotics can significantly improve your foot health and overall well being.
Consulting with a podiatrist, identifying your foot condition, and choosing the right orthotics are crucial steps in the selection process.
Ensure the orthotics are the right size and fit comfortably in your shoes.
Consider the material, decide between custom and over the counter options, and test for comfort and effectiveness and always read reviews before buying.
By following these tips and making an informed decision, you can find the perfect pair of orthotics that provide the support and relief your feet need.
Invest in your foot health, and experience the benefits of comfortable and properly aligned feet with the right orthotics.
Daniel Anderson is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with him. He impressed us with his wisdom and dedication to always improve as a coach.
He is the youngest of 8 and he always felt that he was meant for more than just having a regular 9 to 5 job, go home, watch TV, pay bills, etc. He always believed that we are all meant for something much MORE. But the problem was, he didn’t know what that thing was. He was searching for his soul’s purpose but he was too close to the answer to find it. One day he had an ephiphany, his purpose was to help people find their own.
He became a Purpose Coach. His journey from uncertainty to purpose driven coaching fuels his commitment to aiding others on their paths of resilience and fulfillment. Guiding clients towards transformation, Anderson imparts unwavering faith, silences self doubt, and cultivates inner strength. Online courses amplify his impact, fostering clients’ growth.
His personal evolution from self doubt to purpose driven coaching underscores his empathetic approach. Having navigated his own obstacles, he understands clients’ struggles, offering a unique blend of faith and self empowerment. His coaching philosophy emphasizes transcending external opinions and embracing spirituality in human existence. Here is what he said.

Pillar: The Spirit
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to find their Souls’s Purpose and transform into the best version of themselves.
How they can help: Through various coaching programs.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
Thankfully, we all escaped without catching it.

THAT was hard to deal with at first.
BUT… we all were doing so well, that we have decided to keep working remotely.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
This does not apply to me, I started my business at the beginning of this year.
But I believe people need Coaching more than ever due to the pandemic and all the issues it caused!
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
Life is precious.
You need to tell people how you feel about them when they are still around.
Don’t wait until they’re gone to tell them.
Also, COMMUNITY is key.
We are a SOCIAL SPECIES, and not meant to live in solitude.
We are meant to be of service to one another, it doesn’t matter what differences we have, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation.
We are all Human Beings, we all deserve love and respect.
And we ALL have a Purpose.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I am the youngest of 8.
Was a bit of a daydreamer, knowing I was meant for great things.
I KNEW I had a purpose, and that we ALL do.
A REASON we are here.
The only problem was, I had no idea what I was meant to do.
I did a lot of “job hopping” in my life, not really ‘feeling’ it in anything I did.
Late last year, I found myself at a crossroads in my life.
So, I started looking inward, and started a journey of Spirituality.
Part of the reason why I started that is because I wanted to hone in on my psychic ‘gifts’ that I had as a kid.
It led me to grow tremendously, and I had an epiphany, that I WAS MEANT to become a Life Purpose Coach…
So, I started learning, and learning, and learning…
I have multiple Certifications in the modalities of Life Coach, Life Purpose Coach, Goal Success Coach, Happiness Coach.
And now moving onto Spirituality Life Coaching.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
Getting over my OWN limiting beliefs, moving past the years of negative self talk, healing from all the traumas in my own life.
I was also one to give up when things didn’t work out right.
I faced that again about 13 years ago when I was in school for Network Administration.
My instructor, who was also a friend and Mentor, passed away suddenly when I needed him the most.
I ALMOST gave up on that, like I had so many times before.
But I recognized my pattern.
Kept working at it and became the only person at that school to pass 2 Microsoft Certification Exams in 48 hours’ time.
So now, when things go haywire, I double down on my effort and resolve.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I offer a number of Transformative Coaching classes, I am still getting them online and fine tuned…
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
I have been through so much of what I am coaching.
I am empathetic to what my clients go through, as I have been there myself.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
Besides getting to work with me? (lol)
I guide my clients down the road untraveled, the one that will lead them to their greatest success.
I teach how to have Faith above all else, to not listen to the voice in their head that tells them they’re worthless.
To realize that the negative voice is NOT their own, but from years of ‘OPI’ (other people’s opinions).
I empower them to keep moving forward even if they are fearful of the unknown.
I teach the philosophy that we are Spiritual Beings living a Human existence, not humans living a spiritual existence.
My programs will bring about amazing, life altering transformations to become the person they were created by the Source of All to become.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I use online Courses to teach my clients to be the best version of themselves.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Trust your Intuition.
You are closer than you think to success.
Believe in the power within you.
Trust that the Universe has your back.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
No matter how hard things get, you keep fighting for what you want.
NOTHING is given to us for free.
You have to WORK to EARN EVERYTHING.
And NEVER GIVE UP.
Your final thoughts?
I started my Coaching business because it is my Life Purpose to help people discover theirs.
To help people live more satisfying, less stressful, and meaningful lives, to use their God given talents in order to live their Purpose.
