Lisa Ulshafer has been my life coach and mentor on and off for two years now. I have coached…read moreone-on-one with her, taken her amazingly helpful and engaging online course, and participated in a fantastic workshop she is involved with. The profound sense of gratitude, joy and happiness that I now often experience is credited to her guidance, intuition, and expertise. I am experiencing a sense of well-being that I can't ever remember feeling before. My external life is changing. I have better, healthier relationships, I am more connected and HAPPY. Of course, there will always be things out of my control, but my response and my attitude towards these things has shifted immensely. With Lisa's help, I am building a powerful resiliency and confidence in my own wisdom to help me ride the waves when they come.
Maybe it didn't seem like it from the outside, but I was living in the world and always feeling like something was wrong, that I wasn't where I needed to be, that I had to get somewhere else, do something else, be more, and have more...more experiences, more achievements, more love. I enjoy achievement, but my intention was often rooted in a deep sense of unworthiness. I carried a tight anxiety in my chest that almost called forth more fear, and this deeply impacted my ability to feel a sense of lasting peace or joy. These moments were certainly there, but they were fleeting, and I found myself refocusing on the negative. My 'baseline' typically returned to seeking and feeling unsettled.
Now, I feel joyful often. I feel like I have a new 'set point'. I have a respect and appreciation for the impact of the past, feel enormous gratitude for all of the blessings that I have today, and I have an excitement about what lies ahead. I'm moving forward and creating a life-by-design that is connected to a higher purpose and supported by a foundation of developing self-worth. How can a 'Thank you' ever encompass the gratitude I have for all of this? You are an (literal) angel, Lisa.
