Q: Why did you choose to be a life coach?

A: I became a life coach after I saw the results I achieved in my personal life from investing in a life coach. Truthfully, I wasn’t a fan of the title “life coach” because I felt that no one lives a perfect life, nor can master life,

and the word alone was a bit intimidating. Once fully hiring my own personal life coach I began to understand how the majority of my challenges were a reflection of the people around me.
