I love this article. As the mother of three grown children I have made my most trusted friends through my children. When my youngest was only a year old, I joined a babysitting co-op and together with 10 other women we would go for a run while one of the moms would take care of all of our kids for an hour. We would then go back to the hosting mom’s house for coffee, muffins and incredible conversation. We would rotate every week. What a gift those times were. Now, 20 years later, all of us moms go on an annual ski trip together where we share stories about our kids, grandkids, hopes, dreams and fears. It is an amazing connection. Back then, it was an incredible way to get time out as well as get some exercise.

I have spent the better part of my working career supporting women and moms at being the best they can be. There are so many experts out there and it can be a challenge for moms listen to their inner wisdom. Great friends will help you see things through a different perspective and it is a wise friend who will trust you to make your own choices and find your authentic path.

As a life and family wellness coach, I strive to be the wise friend that clients can share their hopes, dreams, frustrations and fears with. As many of us try to navigate our way in the world we become disconnected with our inner voice. I support my clients in learning to tune into themselves through coaching them in the use of “in the moment” techniques that help them quiet down their bodies and de-stress in the moment. By learning to be in the moment we can then learn to listen more frequently to our inner wisdom.

Take care all,
