Jamie’s Journey

                                      “One thing I’ve realized . . .                          

                                 change is guaranteed!”     ~Jamie

   When an old injury forced me to take time out of my busy life in a successful career in sales, marketing, management, teaching and real estate coaching, I began a personal transitional journey that evolved into the rediscovery of my authentic self and ultimately transformed my life. Every morning  I continued to gaze into the bathroom mirror, yet each time I saw something different. It was as if a total stranger was staring back at me. I was looking at the face of transition!

   Through the transformational stage of my latest transition, I found I was “Ye of little faith.” This unplanned medical detour helped me come to the sobering realization that I had lost sight of who I really was and noticed my otherwise joy for life had been slowly but surely slipping away. I began to realize how easy it was for us all to get stuck in a jail cell of our own making. It wasn’t until I was able to quiet my mind chatter that I could listen to my inner spirit and continue my transformational journey with confidence, courage and renewed clarity. During the process, I discovered that instead of using manipulation and persistence to force a change, all I needed was to allow who I had always really been, and what I had known from very early on in life to surface within me. This personal transformational experience reminded me that change itself is the only thing that doesn’t and that life is really an experience, rather than a static thing, a fixed idea or even a concept!

   During the time I was helping people improve their sales skills, develop interpersonal acumen, and assisting them with their career direction, I found I received a great deal of personal gratification by helping others improve their lives. During my own experience with change, I decided that if coaching worked for the agents, it just might benefit me, as well. I then began looking for a coach to help me with my personal growth with whom I could resonate with and trust. This outside assistance was instrumental in the rediscovery of my past interests and desires. Today, I am committed to helping other people on their personal transformational journeys.

   When I discovered the way I was living my life wasn’t working anymore . . . I also found designing a new future to be confusing and frustrating, at best. With this in mind, I decided to devote myself to helping adults help themselves as they journey through the anxiety, confusion, fear, worry and doubt associated with life-changing transitions.  My new book, Lemonade, Pickles & Worms, The Many Faces of Transition was written just for that purpose. 

                                                A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JAMIE,                

   Whether transitions are planned or unplanned, they still can be stressful, anxious and traumatic. We can react out of fear, worry and doubt, or we can respond from a position of awareness.  Although, this can be challenging at times, our perception and our response during these experiences can make such a difference in not only how our results ultimately manifest, but how well we are able to maintain those sweet feelings of well being and peace of mind every moment of every day. Let’s live and experience life’s incredible journey!!

                                                                                        Sending You Love & Joy,
