Next month marks two years since I left my safe, secure, and tenured job. I had spent 11 long years in a job that drained me mentally and physically. To say it was not the best use of my talents is an understatement. I always knew I wanted to do something else, but I had a hard time figuring out exactly what the “else” was.

Many clients come to because they are uncomfortable in their job or other part of their life and think it is because they don’t know their purpose.
