Who is Big Life Leaps for?
There are so many pages out there of content, helpful hints, advice, and recommendations, it can be hard to know where to go. Coaches are everywhere, as well. Big Life Leaps is here to help if you are:
1. A member of the “sandwich generation” – a parent of kids and a parent who has parents who sometimes need your parenting (or you are contemplating the day that will arrive)
2. A professional – I’ve been a lawyer for well over 20 years, have worked with countless financial services professionals and C-suite execs, and understand the unique stresses that come with working in a licensed, regulated, or just plain demanding profession
3. Feeling overwhelmed with life, work, and all the things
4. Knowing deep down that there is a better way for you, but you don’t know how to get there
5. Longing to make a big career move, but are worried that you’ll never make the amount of money you do in your current role
6. Wishing you knew how to start up your own business and run it efficiently
7. Wanting to transition into a more fulfilling life all around
8. Struggling with saying no to things you don’t really want to do or that make you feel crappy
9. Seeking ways to create a life where you feel truly valued
10. Wondering if there is more you can do to show up as your authentic self in all areas of your life (without losing your edge or seeming too “out there”)
Ultimately, our philosophy at Big Life Leaps is that all of us has what we need inside of us to change our lives for the better. Accessing it, unlocking it, and applying it to our lives is not something any of us are taught in school. From early ages, we are asked to override that inner voice inside all of us, from not going to the bathroom when you’re in kindergarten because it’s not the right time (according to someone else) to thinking we have to practice law according to old school, outdated law firm practice models (because nobody showed us differently) to believing there is one right way to parent teenagers, the world is full of “how-to” instruction that may or may not give you what you need.
Living life according to other people’s rules, rules that may or may not help you satisfy your own needs, often leads to feelings of burnout, discontent, or just downright unhappiness.
When you access that inner voice of yours – the one that told you years ago that would always be awesome, even when you’re old – and start to listen to it and create the rules you need for your own life, something magical happens… the unpleasant feelings start to slip away and be replaced with much more positive ones. Feelings of happiness, being in control of your life, and confidence that you can trust yourself to get where you want to go take root and grow.
Those positive feelings can either support you in making some big life leaps of your own, or they may just be the by-product of having the courage to leap before the proverbial net appears. No matter how you get there, it’s way better to live life feeling good, isn’t it?
There is always a choice – you can have more fun in life or you can feel like sh*t. Which one is it going to be?
