The last three months have gone by much faster than I expected. My kids have been home doing remote learning this entire school year so far with no clear return date to school. Covid-19 cases continue to rise in our area and around the country and world, so I have little hope of them returning anytime soon. While weddings and other large events have been postponed by many, we decided that life must go on, no matter how different it may look. We chose to not only proceed with our daughter’s milestone event marking her passage into religious adulthood, but we moved it up by several months to be able to hold it outdoors in a safe and socially distant manner. In 4 weeks I somehow managed to re-plan an event I had been planning for the last 2 years to a new format, new location, new catering, and many other changes, complete with personalized sanitizer and masks (the signature giveaway of 2020 no doubt). I am happy to report that no one we are aware of developed Covid-19 related to our event and it was the absolute highlight of our year to date.
My really exciting news is that I decided to pursue a certification degree in Life Coaching and I started my program this Fall. My ultimate goal is to work with physician moms like myself to help them thrive at home and at work and find peace and purpose in their lives. My program is currently in full swing and I am learning so much every day. I have a fabulous group with ten women in my cohort, several of whom are also physicians. We meet regularly and learn from our instructors and from each other by coaching one another as well as ourselves. Ironically, it’s a lot like being in medical school again. There are large lectures, small groups, practical hands on learning, and individual and group homework assignments. I love to learn and could be a full time student if someone wanted to pay me to do that, so this is such a fun and enriching way for me to spend my time.
One of the requirements of my program is that I do a lot of practice coaching on people outside my program. If anyone out there wants to get some free life coaching to help me practice and help you improve your life, please send me a message. I would be thrilled to work with you and show you how life coaching can change your life! I can set up 30 minute virtual zoom or phone sessions that work with your schedule.
Well, that’s about all for now. Let me know if you are interested in getting free life coaching or want to learn more about it.
