When a client hired me to help break down barriers she believed stood in the way of a more meaningful life, I knew it was time to offer what is commonly called “life coaching.” But I like to call it “barrier busting.”
And usually the barrier is ourselves.
Are you ready for a career change but don’t know how to begin?
Maybe you aren’t living the life you want. Maybe you can’t seem to connect to a satisfying relationship. Or you’re questioning your spirituality. Or something else.
If obstacles seem insurmountable, I’m here to tell you they’re not. You need a framework for achieving your goals and then accountability.
If you’re stymied by an obstacle, a barrier you’d like to bust, I’d like to help you get past it.
I’ve got discussion questions, exercises and activities that will help you surmount those obstacles and begin to live the life of your dreams.
For more information, check out my Coaching page and then email me at Carol@ahealingspirit.org Let’s have a no-obligation talk about your dreams and what we might do together to help you achieve them.
Speaking of gifts: All of our gift packages are on sale at great prices, along with our online affirmations and pretty mala bracelets. Don’t miss out. Through Dec. 1.
This is such an important lesson for everyone to learn. We have a habit of getting in our own way in a BIG way.

Great post. The best gift we can give ourselves is just to get out of our own way. Of all the roadblocks we have in our lives, we are usually the biggest.

I’m my biggest critic! I’m also very hard on myself too. I tend to let things stand in my way, instead of trying to figure out how to work around it.
This is an important message! I so agree that sometimes we can have a habit of getting in our own way
This is wonderful, Carol! You continue to find ways to help and give. It’s an honour to know you!

Yes, we all too often get in our own way. Love this as it helps open my mind and others to getting out of their own way and moving on and up!
Great reminder, so many people are still searching for what they want to be when they grow up. So many options and choices.
It’s definitely tough when we’re our own biggest roadblocks. There are so many things we can do when we’re not limiting ourselves.

We can definitely block ourselves from making changes and achieving things. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
It’s so easy to get in our own way. We get caught up in thinking too much, it’s a great reminder to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies and the reason that blessings don’t come our way
Ha! I was just talking to someone about this today! I was saying that I get in my head too much and block myself in a lot of areas in my life.

Love it! Barrier buster, that term is just really perfect for what you’re doing. This year, I learned that I’ve been restricting myself too much. I decided to make things better for me, and that’s when doors started opening and more opportunities came in. It feels amazing!

A great reminder about barriers and the barriers in our lives. I try to remove all barriers and live the best life I can.
I really think sometimes we need someone from the outside to help us see who we really are. I know I get stuck in my head a lot, and it can be bard to see what is truly an obstacle and what is something I just perceive as the obstacle. I know I could use some life coaching from time to time.
This is so true. I know that I am guilty of often holding myself back from moving upwards and onwards. Great words to live by.
It’s always a smart idea for each of us to work through our obstacles instead of ignore them. I love that you couch people through this sort of thing.

This is such a great reminder for everyone! I absolutely agree that sometimes it’s just ourselves that put us down. Thanks for sharing this!

I’m ready to make a change in my career, but I’m standing in my own way. Need to get out of my own way so I can reach my goals.
This is absolutely true. I wish I had come to this realization in my younger years. There definitely would be a lot less self-sabotaging!

I love that you call it “barrier busting” because that’s what it is! Definitely, sometimes our biggest issues are within ourselves, it is so important to identify them and get over them!
This is an amazing post, barriers are the most trouble that people may get in their way and this message is important for them.
I so need to take this message with my everyday. I always have an excuse for not making time for myself!
That is certainly the truth. We can be our own worst enemies when it comes to being successful and happy.
I know that I am creating my own barriers to protect the things in myself that I am unsure of or see as flaws. Life coaching would be great for barrier busting.

What a wonderful service to offer! Sometimes it’s nice to get an outside perspective to get us to see what’s happening on the inside. I hope more people reach out for help in positive ways!
it is so true! of all the challenges we have in our lives, we ourselves are usually the biggest.
Wow, I love this post and thank you for reminding me, I need to have a changes and I realize I don’t spend time for myself.
This post is so true! It’s of the utmost importance to overcome our own barriers and find our true selves. Thanks for this lesson!
Congratulations Carol! I didn’t realize you had taken this step in your life. Of course it fits – you have such balls and people sense that about you right away – they want some of that bravado and grit. And you can give it to them. Just like you gave it to me in a Las Vegas hallway.
;-)) I’ve missed seeing you around, Mithra!
LOVE the quote at the top of the article…we are way TOO smart to be the ONLY thing standing in our own way. I’ll remember that when I feel myself becoming my own stumbling block. Too often we get in our own way subconsciously in our heads. Time to break that cycle.

This is such a crucial message! I have to always keep this in the back of my head!!
Hi Carol, we are always so busy looking after everyone else that we forget to nurture ourselves. Thank you for the reminder and the service your provide. I’ve shared on FB. Have a great week! #BloggersPitStop
It is always a great idea to take care of ourselves so that we can be our best for others

This is such a important article You are absolutely right and sometimes we are out biggest obstacle.
I will be honest I personally dont needa life coach but I know others who could benefit from one. Many people suffer from people aroud them not being honest with them and do not know how to be real with them about their lives and situations and a life coach can be the motivator to make you see yourself.

I wish to express my love for your kindness for those individuals that really need guidance on that concept. Your personal dedication to passing the solution around became incredibly advantageous and has usually encouraged regular people like me to realize their goals. Your amazing invaluable tips and hints implies a lot to me and far more to my mates. Many thanks; from all of us.
This is an important post because I agree that sometimes we can have a habit of getting in our own way!!!
