Here it comes, again. Danger!
The overwhelming anxiety and terrible dread signal like an oncoming freight train that all is not well.
Morning comes, and you submit to another day of the same, but there is this nagging signal inside your head growing louder. It’s not just noise. It’s waking you up, and you’re scared.
You fear the happiness and satisfaction you desire in a life well lived will instead become starved and ever-elusive as you role-play in life.
You took the bait – hook, line, and sinker.
The should-dos, have-tos, and must-dos.
You give your kids too much freedom. You have to get a better handle on them, or else they’ll just get into trouble when they’re older.
The false claims of what life is supposed to be, who you are supposed to be, and how you are supposed to be.
Five years in, and I still hate my job. But it’s a cushy position, so I just can’t quit, right?
The don’t-dos and can’t-dos.
What were you thinking, choosing ‘that’ for your major?! You’ll never find a job – why even bother with the degree?
Something’s gotta give…
…and the impending doomsday-dullness must go.
It’s up to you, and if things don’t get better soon, you might be out of work and out of life.
Your friends and family notice you’ve run out of steam short of expectations. You want to tell them the truth, but you don’t know what that means anymore.
You are even falling short of your shadow. And your shadow is so dark and encompassing.
It’s time to let them go.
The yoke of responsibility you shoulder for everyone and everything.
The cracked measuring cup you use never to measure up.
The armor of protection you wear that shields you from powerful feelings of loss and hurt, but also from joy and belonging.
The hiding place you use to deny what is happening around you and within you.
Listen to the signal…
… the signal deeply beyond words, reverberating in you.
There is a knowing. A practicing of a life well lived and loved according to your wisdom and your guiding lines.
I can show you how.
It’s your track. I will be your passenger as we take the time to unfold your hopes and dreams, your true feelings and wisdom.
Learn how to manage it all with grace and confidence. To love better, live better, parent better (be it yourself or others) and feel better – no matter the noise or how irreconcilable or dire life appears.
It’s time to come aboard and leave the empty cargo and heavy bags behind.
Hi, I’m Deb.
Real-life experience – been there, done that.
I’ve experienced lots of transitions and challenges, messy relationships, failure, bad choices, uncomfortable insights, scary at times, and hard to hold.
I made it through “the folds” of life, underneath things you hope others don’t see. I’ve learned zestful living through laughter and tears and life lessons that taught more than degrees and theories.
It’s been said that love means willing the good of another. I will your good for you to come away “better than before.”
If you’d like, we can pray together, explore spiritual ways to heal and be at peace regardless of appearances, strained relationships, messy life stuff, and the “folds” in you without judgment or shame.
Step out so I can see you.
Let me really see you, the pictures in your mind, the
unspoken suffering.
Let me really hear you. I will listen to your pain and fears, the
shame and regret, and the silent suffering grieving your soul.
I am here, waiting.
What I Offer
Together, let’s create a better,
happier, healthier you today.
It’s time. Listen to the signal.
I will be with you even if you crumple in a ball of
crazy. Lean on me. Trust me and trust you to
unfold and build something beautiful.
