I can’t thank you enough. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted and I was free, liberated! I feel so much more in control now and the future can be bright and exciting.
I’m so glad I’ve done this coaching course I’ve tackled things I’ve been struggling with for years, I’ve got a way to go and but it has given me the grounding and confidence to carry on pealing those onion layers.
I found patterns which seem to recur, chiefly feeling rejected, worthless and not good enough. I realised it was the relationship I had with my father when I was young, it’s unearthed a pattern of expecting to be rejected and disrespected. I can see my father was only doing what he thought was the right thing to do and that he did love me but just didn’t know how to relate to me. I can now let go of the those feelings and detach from gaining my worth from how others treat me, and worrying what they think about me.
Another biggie for me which again has been cyclical is how I view my body, sometimes I’m just about ok with it other times I hate it and don’t even feel like a female. I’m pair shaped with chunky monkey legs and skinny ish upper body with small boobs. I sometimes think I’m not attractive, at the worst times I start to compare myself with others.
Now I’ve started to slowly love parts of me and see that my body is doing a bloody good job, it works and allows me to do all I need to do and it doesn’t even ask for any thanks - maybe I need to write it a thank you letter.
The one thing I really need to accept and remember is that it takes time and I need to allow myself time to recover and build a loving relationship with myself. But most of all I need forgive myself continually.
I feel we all need stickers on our mirrors which read ‘you’re my best friend, you’re amazing and I love you’
I’m also mighty glad I met you all, you’re all wonderful and amazing women, strong and beautiful and absolutely lovely I’ll think of you often, send you good vibes and pray that your life is full of love and laughter xx
I self-sabotaged my physical health every day because I didn’t want to turn into my Mum.
My Mum’s whole definition of life has been being ill. Because she has been celebrating her illness, I went completely the other end.
I’ve avoided going to the Doctor because I don’t want to be that person who goes to the Doctor every 2 minutes.
Something just came together for me after this week. It’s just that one thought that you provoked that triggered something for me.
I realise living with these 5 or so (Physical health) things is just making me miserable. Like my cesarean scar is still sore to touch after 3 years. So, now I’m like, right I need to get this sorted.
I’ve had therapy for some of this for years. I felt like I’d dealt with it previously. But what I’ve done historically is rationalised it. I’ve thought it through. I’ve dealt with it on a transactional level. I can talk about it.
But I realise therapy was just dealing with the first layer of all this.
This week I felt all the stuck energy that needed to be released has come out.
What I have done this week since our last session is to have a Drs appointment and been referred to a specialist!!
These last few weeks have been transformational!!!"
In 2018 I tragically lost my younger brother. Living away from my family at the time, I started to become depressed and very anxious. I started to believe that something bad or unfortunate would keep happening to me. My depression
and anxiousness began to take an effect on my work and social life, and even my relationship with my partner.
After many trips to my doctor I was told that medication is what I needed. I Insisted that I needed counselling, but due to the long waiting list I just felt even more lost and frustrated that I would never get the help and guidance I needed. I knew that medication was not an option for me. I have always been a very active person and exercise is something that has helped me throughout my life, yet I was finding that physical exercise just wasn’t fulfilling me and I had lost all interest.
After making the decision to move back home from London to the West Midlands I got in touch with Jo as I had begun to watch her and Jill's inspirational videos on life itself through facebook.
I had first met Jo when I was studying at Falmouth University and just absolutely admired her outlook on life, not to mention her incredible sense of humor. Jo reached out to me and asked if I wanted to take a journey of 12 weeks with her and Jill and 5 other ladies I had not yet met, to help find the guidance and success we all already had, yet didn’t know.
I still remember the first session with Jo, Jill and the other ladies and how I felt nervous and wondered if the course would be suitable for me, I couldn't have been more wrong!
Jo and Jill have a way of putting you at ease with a whole lot of humour too.
Having weekly calls with all the ladies eventually became my therapy family where I would have found it more strange not having the ladies on the call with me.
The course is broken down into a section of questions that you have a week to complete. There is no need to send your answers to the coaches which meant I
found easier to open up and be completely honest with the questions - there is never any judgment. Each week if you feel comfortable you can share your thoughts on each section on the weekly calls.
As my journey on the course continued I felt that I was a lot less anxious and I was in control of my thoughts. This was due to the way the course slowly eases you into finding out the root course of what has been holding you back. I found the meditation and reiki videos to be incredibly helpful to relax and ground me but also to help me sleep which I had been struggling with since the death of my brother. Although Jo and Jill are not qualified in bereavement counselling I found exactly what I needed to overcome my grief and depression.
Jo and Jill really do have all the tools you need to safely and healthily get a hold on YOUR life!
The course has been created as a safe space and in a way you will not want the course to end! I was receiving compliments on how well I looked and how much happier I seemed, and how much calmer I was dealing with issues I would normally go into panic mode with. I cannot recommend these two incredible ladies enough!
