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.

November 16, 2017 at 3:51 pmI’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.

November 16, 2017 at 9:46 pmGreat reminder, so many people are still searching for what they want to be when they grow up. So many options and choices.

November 16, 2017 at 10:17 pmIt’s definitely tough when we’re our own biggest roadblocks. There are so many things we can do when we’re not limiting ourselves.

November 16, 2017 at 11:20 pmWe can definitely block ourselves from making changes and achieving things. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
Stephanite says
November 16, 2017 at 11:27 pmIt’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

November 17, 2017 at 1:21 amLove 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!

travel blogger says
November 17, 2017 at 1:36 amI 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.
Tonya says
November 17, 2017 at 1:55 amThis is so true. I know that I am guilty of often holding myself back from moving upwards and onwards. Great words to live by.
Sara Welch says
November 17, 2017 at 2:56 amIt’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.

November 17, 2017 at 1:52 pmThat is certainly the truth. We can be our own worst enemies when it comes to being successful and happy.
Jen Temcio says
November 17, 2017 at 2:14 pmI 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.

Mithra Ballesteros says
November 18, 2017 at 3:00 pmCongratulations 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.
Carol Cassara says

Darlene says
November 18, 2017 at 7:11 pmLOVE 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.

November 20, 2017 at 6:14 amI 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.
