This page is about making a difference, highlighting important posts & inspiring attention for action I failed my last years of school. I felt like a failure.
My mother died when I was 5 and I had a challenging upbringing. I have had many jobs, from jillaroo, to horses, to hospitality, to nursery worker, to cleaning houses to becoming a scientist. I have been homeless and had health issues. Having numerous dices with death from stupidity, being told I could die and not amount to anything spurred me to make something of my life. I became a knowledge seek

Do you know this was only 63 years ago when women were not allowed to visit Antarctica, within the lifespan of a person? What an amazing woman, and a husband that was happy for his wife to step out of societal norms. We owe much to these pioneering women that paved the way so we can visit and work on the great white continent.

Yesterday I cam back from a five-day exhausting field trip in humid conditions. While I missed posting on International Women's Day, it certainly crossed my mind. I thought about how lucky I was to have an education, be able to follow my passions and go where I please. I thought about the luxury I have had to travel the world without anyone controlling my actions. I thought about all the freedoms I take for granted. I know this is not the same for many women around the world. My wish is that one day we look at each other and gender is taken off the table as we treat each other the same with respect, tolerance and inclusion. I acknowledge the amazing women who have been striding down this pathway for decades to slowly bring this change.

I remember when I got fired in my first year of working. I thought I was a failure and would never make anything of my life. But my successful Uncle told me he had been fired and it was okay. My life was not over. The rest is history.........💪💯

I chose my handle lighter.step.justine for a number of reasons. Do any of these resonate with you?
I am currently offering two free coaching sessions, no obligations, to determine if I am the correct coach fit for you. We don’t buy clothes or shoes without generally trying them on. We also rarely pay for services until they are done so I understand it is difficult to pass that hard-earned money on a service for which we do not know is right for us. This is a ‘try before you buy’ offer.
My schedule is also tight, so I also want to ensure you are the right fit for me. I do not waste my time on people that are not committed and wanting to put in the action to transform their life.
So, are you an action taker?
Are you willing to get out of your comfort zone?
Are you coachable?
Coaching has a great many benefits towards a growth mindset including:
- Removing limiting beliefs and building self-confidence
- Creating a vision for the future and developing goals as stepping stones to this vision
- Removing stress, anxiety and procrastination by improving time management and organisational skills
- Bringing more happiness and joy into life
- Reach towards a life of fulfillment
- Giving support and advise but also challenging you to step up and making you accountable for your actions
Coaching starts with CHANGING your mindset.
What is stopping you? Let’s see how well we fit.
Contact me through DM and let’s get this conversation started or book a free vision call with the link in my BIO.
