I didn’t set out to become a life coach. I thought helping people required something bigger — more letters after my name, more time in the classroom, more something — and that just wasn't feasible. But I loved talking to people. I loved listening to people. Teasing out what they truly desired and mentally rummaging through my self-help memory palace for tools.

What I understand now is: helping people doesn’t start with credentials. It starts with connection. With one person. One conversation. One shared spark of light in a dark room.

The life coaching course was serendipitous. "Life coaching" is something most people have heard of, and the course taught me valuable skills, gave me experience, and gifted me a very supportive teacher.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what I'm called — life coach, energy reader, lightworker. What matters is that I leave people happier and more fulfilled than I found them.

And because I dream big, I believe the way we change the world is the same way we eat an elephant: one bite at a time. One person at a time. If I can help others become beacons for a bright future, our light will spread.

Until next time, fly safely.
