Lesley Panton Coaching - Finding the Freedom to Be You

24/09/2026

I’m sitting in my garden on a Thursday afternoon, soup maker is going and I’ve just finished tidying out my shed (admittedly not my favourite thing to do!) and I can hear the kids at the local school having playtime.

That job, the one that nearly broke me, seems a million miles away now. Like another life.

Although it’s completely shaped my life up to a couple of years ago, and gave me a LOT of limiting beliefs to get through, I’m free.

I’m still a work in progress, but I’m also a work of art. And so are you.

I know how you feel when you dread going to work. When you feel that you just can’t go on with it. When you wonder how you’ll ever do it for the next few days, never mind years.

I know how you feel when you tell yourself you can’t quit. You need the money. You have nothing else you can possibly do.

But I’m here to tell you that you can turn it around.

I did, and if I can, you can 💖

Working with Amanda has been such a pleasure, long may it continue! 💜

I’m just ready Brene Brown’s book about belonging and finding the courage to stand alone - Braving the Wilderness, and in it she quotes Maya Angelou with this.

It really struck me. We belong to ourselves. ❤️💖

That feeling of dread when you get up in the morning.

The feeling of wanting to cry when you think about having to do this for the next 10-15 years.

I know, I’ve been there 💜

It crushes the life out of you, destroys your soul.

You’re exhausted.

You’ve lost your joy.

Your peace.

Your smile.

And when you come home, you’re a shell of who you used to be. You have nothing left to give to those in your life.

You know you can’t carry on like this.
There must be more to life.

Work should be hard at times.

But it shouldn’t suck out your soul, cost you ever just to survive.

When you stop and choose to walk away, to work in a way that lights you up, aligns to who you are, then it stops draining you and starts energising you.

It gives you the freedom to live your life as who you really are.

The shift is possible 💜

It’s all about taking that first step.

🦋 Sometimes staying where you are feels hard.

But making the change you know you need feels impossible. Trust me, I know ❤️

There’s no magic answer, and I’m not going to pretend change is easy.

But what if, instead of choosing the easy option, you chose the hard one.

Because it will get you where you want to be. Where you need to be.

You don’t have to have it all mapped out.

And please stop telling yourself ‘I’ll do it when…..’ because that never comes.

You just have to take the next step. ✨

You really can break free. Like I did.

Follow me Lesley Panton Coaching - Finding the Freedom to Be You as I begin telling you how I did it and how I can help you get free from the cycle you think you’ll never break.

I love watching the clouds move. It’s that feeling of aliveness 💖
