With age comes wisdom and life experience, giving you the chance to create an exciting new life.

A few years back, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing with my life.

One phase was coming to a close (raising kids, a career in PR), and I was stuck in that netherworld of uncertainty about my next steps.

Frankly, I didn’t have any idea how to go about finding my passion.

I’d been trying to figure it out for over a year without much success. Nothing seemed intriguing, and the things that did were clearly out-of-the-question (ie: become a professional ballet dancer).

“I’m making a ton of money. I have a job other people would kill for. I can buy anything I want. But I’m miserable.”

Those were the words of one of my coaching clients a few years ago who was searching for his life passion.

From all appearances, he was in an enviable situation. He had a great job, making a lot of money. He had all of the trappings of a fabulous lifestyle.

But it just wasn’t fulfilling. He wasn’t passionate about his work, and he was discovering that money and things weren’t enough to sustain him.

Fortunately, he could afford to hire a coach to help him find his passion, and he could comfortably make a transition to his passion once we worked together to find it.
