Feeling Empowered and Aligning My Life With My Values

Before coaching with Lori, I was feeling low energy, irritable, and obsessed with thoughts of food. I was 25 lbs. overweight. I had joint pain and GI distress. Lori and I focused on my mindset and my relationship with food first. I have realized the importance of the quality of the food I am putting in my body. After this mindset shift, I decided to try an elimination diet with Lori to see what foods were making me feel bad and hindering my weight loss. I immediately noticed a difference. My GI system felt SO MUCH BETTER. Eating in this way has reduced the bloating and puffiness after meals, and I have lost 12 lbs. and inches around my waist! And, it feels sustainable! I feel empowered to know that I can consistently make healthy decisions that provide a foundation for my future wellness.

Prioritizing Myself to Better Help Others

Before coaching with Lori, I was so focused on helping others in my family, at work, and in my community that I was not taking care of myself. As a breast cancer survivor, I knew that taking care of my health was important, but I still found myself eating poorly, sleeping poorly and not prioritizing fitness. The results I’ve achieved are a measurable reduction in my blood pressure; much better sleep; I am exercising consistently; and have made shifts in my diet that make me feel better. What I love most about Lori is she makes me feel empowered to pursue what I want in my life.

Being Comfortable Saying No and Reducing Worry

I felt stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. I feared disappointing people if I said “no” to them. I felt like my worth was based on being perfect and always being able to do more or to help others.

Lori helped me tune into which activities give me energy and which activities drain energy. She asked me to define my priorities and to use them as an added layer of intentionality when deciding which activities to say “yes” or “no” to. I have really learned from Lori that it is counter-productive to say “yes” to activities I really don’t want to do or that will tighten up my schedule. It just means that I am saying “no” to myself and my family.

Building Self-Confidence and Asking for What I Want

Before coaching with Lori, I felt like I was losing sight of who I was. I was fearful of conflict, believing that I would be rejected if I asked for what I wanted.  I wanted to stand up for myself in the world so that I could be truly present, physically and emotionally, for my family.

Working with boundary setting, Lori has really helped me to build self-confidence and to see that I don’t have to bend over backwards to prioritize the needs of others.   

The thing I like the most about working with Lori is she has made me realize that I am worthy of having difficult conversations and asking for what I want. Lori has helped me to see that if I set boundaries, my future will be brighter!

Gaining Mental Clarity

I feel like I am back to my old self – a whole different person than when I reached out to Lori for coaching. I was constantly doing for others. Anytime I tried to dial in on my own needs, I felt bad. I felt like I was trapped by my own actions. Treating myself like I used to, with healthy food, exercise and better sleep helped me to shed 20 pounds and made me feel more in control. I have set some healthy boundaries and restructured close relationships by ensuring that we are all honoring ourselves first while still being there for each other. I am confident in taking care of my own needs first.

Shifting from a Mindset of Self-Doubt to a Mindset of Empowerment

Before coaching with Lori, I had so much self-doubt. I felt like I could NEVER have the mindset to be a healthy person. Lori helped me anchor into the reasons WHY I want to get healthy. She helped me to see that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I’m making small changes over time to consistently move me in the direction I want to go. This feels like a smart, doable approach so that the changes stick with me for life, not just for a quick fix.
