Blogs From Coach Jayme
I often share that there is always a method to my madness.
Much of this madness comes from the tons and TONS of thoughts and pondering moments I experience.
Here is where I get to share those thoughts and moments with you. Some will be super raw, and some will be emotional, but you can follow along here for all of them!
"Journey to the Light: A Coach's Struggle with Burnout and Finding Joy"
“Transparency is for those who carry out public duties and exercise public power. Privacy is for everyone else.” -Glenn Greenwald
Hey there, warriors of life,
It's time to pull back the curtain and reveal the raw, unfiltered truth about your mindset coach – that's me. You see, I wasn't always the beacon of positivity and resilience you see today. There was a time when my smile masked the battles within, battles against burnout, loneliness, and the nagging feeling of inadequacy.
The Daily Struggle:
Picture this – the go-getter coach who seemingly has it all figured out. Yet, beneath the surface, I grappled with the same demons you face. Burnout was my shadow, and loneliness was my unwelcome companion. I was that high-energy person teaching others to find joy while occasionally getting lost in the darkness myself.
Dark Corners and Unhealthy Coping:
Let's talk about the places my thoughts wandered, places that weren't pretty. I'd be lying if I said I never sought solace in unhealthy vices, in moments when the weight of it all felt too much to bear. Why? Because, dear reader, even coaches are human. We have our battles, our scars, and our stories of redemption.
Humor Amidst the Chaos:
Now, let's add a pinch of humor to this emotional rollercoaster. Ever tried coaching yourself out of a mental rut? Trust me, it's like trying to fix a flat tire with a chocolate bar – sounds sweet, but utterly ineffective.
Tough Love, Compassionate Encouragement:
But here's the thing – life isn't a comedy show. It's a journey, and sometimes, you need a bit of tough love. So, straight talk: your struggles are real, but so is the possibility of change. It's never too late to rewrite your story, to infuse it with connection, fulfillment, and genuine happiness.
Light at the End of the Tunnel:
Consider this your wake-up call. You're not alone in this fight. I've been there, in those dark places, and I found my way to the light. It's a journey, not an overnight miracle. Embrace the process, reach out for support, and know that you have the power to transform your life.
Ready for Change? Let's Chat:
If you're standing at the crossroads, unsure how to turn things around, I'm here. Your struggles aren't a life sentence. Let's connect, and together, we'll pave the way to a life filled with joy, purpose, and the fulfillment you deserve.
This is your journey, and I'm here to guide you.
With heart and resilience,
Coach Jayme Shiarla
