Overcomer Life Coaching

It's with a heavy heart I write this post but bear with me...
I started this business with a dream to empower girls and young women to live victoriously and outwork their life's purpose. For the first year and a bit, I sowed my heart and soul into it, making videos and content, hiring social media gurus, working with gov business helpers to get feedback, creating a website, logo, writing blogs and so many other little things behind the scenes.
I've since been on a learning journey that I couldn't foresee would be so huge... this journey has included research about abuse, narcissism, borderline personality disorder, emotional intelligence, domestic violence, anxiety, trauma, neuro-divergence including Adhd, Rsd and Autism. I've also become a first time mum and studied parenting and learning how to navigate the different stages of newborns and toddlers. I've learnt about the joys and not so great things about having an aupair. I've had quite a few different other jobs here and there that have challenged me and shown me what I enjoy and what I don't. I started studying at tafe but realised my limits and didn't continue.
I'm now working part time in a school that I love with a quality work/home-life balance so I can mould my son's life and fulfil his needs and my desires to be a present parent.

The point of this story is...I love what I do as a lifecoach but I don't enjoy advertising myself, creating content for social media or boring admin business stuff. I don't make time for the mundane and therefore my business hasn't been able to flourish. Not to mention, my priorities have changed.
I need income to support my family rather than pouring out so much energy into something that may not have any returns.

I've had a handful of beautiful girls and their mums that I've supported in the last few years and the amazing opportunity to speak at online conference and to you I'm so thankful 🙏

It's time for me to stop pouring the $$ into Overcomer Life Coaching now though and refocus my energies into being a mum, a wife, a teacher, a friend, a daughter and simply put God's hands, feet and mouthpiece wherever he sends me.

Who knows if God will breathe life into it again someday but for now it's going on the shelf.
I really did want to "reach" the girls that remind me of the broken younger version of me, the emo self-harming girl that was looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong ways. In a way I kind of did but it wasn't through Overcomer Life Coaching.

Anyway, if you have read this far God bless you... no seriously...God bless you with a new hobby other than scrolling on fb😉
😄 and I'll see you on the flipside. I'm praying that's eternity with Jesus where we are partying together.
Peace and love.
Sarah

This!

Merry Christmas one and all! I pray that there would be a moment of peace today where you can be grateful for at least one thing. Me? I'm thankful for Jesus.

The Power of Margin: Enhancing Mental and Emotional Functionality

Margin: when you think of that word, you might remember back to having to use a ruler to draw one up in your writing book at school so you could put the date in. Why did you even do that? I mean the date didn't take up more than 1 of those lines within that margin gap.
You did it to create space. If you stuffed up a word or a sentence, you could write it in there. The teacher then had space to write feedback for you or the correct spelling of a word.
It made the rest of your writing look better and go further too.

I mean how funny is it that we would happily draw up a margin again in a book just because... but we don't put any margin in our lives. There's no space. No space to breathe. No space for reflection on what we do. No space for feedback from others. We just keep on doing doing doing. We are BUSY! But we need a margin too.
And I challenge you to do it. Margin in the dictionary means the edge or border of something. It's time to give yourself the edge, the margin, the space so you don't become edgy, messy and so caught up that you don't function well.
Take a minute to examine the things you can prune so you can work smarter not harder!
It's time to draw a margin for your mental and emotional health's sake!

I'm on a journey atm and it's so deep I can't even speak about it yet but I'm reading a book and it has this incredible quote about self-care by Parker Palmer... "Self care is never a selfish act- it's simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on the earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to our true self and give it the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch."

As someone who hasn't been role-modelled self-care growing up, this really helps to frame its importance.

This...

I believe this to an extent but there are certainly other factors that play into it.
