Grief Recover Method - Mending Broken Hearts

"I had recently retired, sold my home and moved to another state. I needed to start a new life and determine what I wanted to do with the years I had left. What kind of legacy did I want to have? I felt all the loose ends...needing friends, needing to see a future for myself in this new place, needing desperately to know how to leave a legacy. I needed someone who could help me tame the chaos inside and chart a course for the future. I knew I was not getting traction by myself. I didn't have time to waste. I knew about coaching and when I met Coach Jo-Ellen at a Women's Coffee event, I knew I had found someone I could trust to help me sort through the many ideas coursing through my mind. I love her questions. Somehow her questions caused me to sort through my thoughts and find the answer I knew all along. I also loved the way she saw the best in me and strengthened me with encouragement. Thanks to our time together, I now am so much more focused moving into my future. I had been so stuck and it feels so good to be making progress. I have a clearer idea of the legacy I want and can leave."

"I was at a point in my career that I wanted to prepare for retirement. I didn’t know what that would look like and was scared for the next chapter of my life. Because of this the continuing stress was impacting my health. I needed someone to help me with the transition from putting all my efforts into work versus having a “life “ Being coached help me set weekly goals which pushed me to achieve a clear view of what could be. I am excited and happy to be near my retirement. I am finally feeling like I don’t have the fear to wake up wondering what I am going to do next. I am now nearly stress free."
