Hi, I'm Joseph

..and I spent years tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep.

 

I lay awake worrying about money and bills and what the hell am I doing with my life? I'd left a decade long career in mental health and moved 3,000 miles from everything I knew, everything familiar. The only thing I brought with me? A bunch of debt, and my teddy bear Casey riding in the passenger seat.

 

I was broke, scared and full of self doubt.

 

During that difficult period, I made one brave, life-changing decision:

I hired a life coach. 

 

Later, after nearly 2 years of weekly sessions with my coach Leslie, she turned to me and casually said "I have someone I'd like you to work with. His name is "Chris" and he needs a coach. Can I have Chris call you? You'd be great." 

​

Fast forward 23 years —

 

After working with hundreds of clients and adding a few coaching and therapy certifications to my name, this is what I've come to understand:

 

  • having a coach helps in meaningful and magnificent ways, especially when you're feeling scared, worried or stuck — or all of the above

  • being stuck sucks

  • we tend to get in our own way 

  • we forget how infinitely abundant life truly is

  • there's deep truth in the Universal law change your thinking, change your life

 

And more recently, because of covid, I'm also learning this:

 

Life is really, really short. Any one of us could be dead tomorrow,

or today. We're only here for a few seconds, really.

 

Can we get out of our own way, follow our dreams and create a magnificently marvelous life?

 

The answer is a rousing hell, yes! 

​​​

If you're ready to create a life you love, call me.

 

After, I promise you'll sleep a whole lot better.

 

(And yes, Casey the teddy bear is still with me. I got rid of the debt, worry and (most of) the self-doubt though. You can too.)

​

Love + blessings,
