Meet Coach Carmen: My story

My journey has shaped who I am, and I’m thankful because it brought me here- to connect with you.


There was a time when I became someone I didn’t recognize—caught in patterns that drained my energy and dimmed my inner light. As a problem solver and dependable supporter, I gave all of myself, often leaving little for me. My genuine desire to connect led to people-pleasing tendencies in both my professional and personal life. Gradually, I withdrew from social interactions, feeling emotionally drained and undervalued, questioning my self-worth and trapped in cycles of overthinking.


Today, I am profoundly grateful for my personal growth journey. I recognize the kindness in my past intentions and forgive myself for being overly critical. With the support of various resources, I've embraced my thoughts and emotions, empowering myself to establish healthy boundaries and live more purposefully.


After dedicating time to my self-work, I’ve experienced a profound restoration of my confidence, allowing me to safeguard my energy like never before. My mindset was restored to optimism, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of who I am. I’ve found true peace by surrounding myself with people and environments that uplift and support my well-being. I no longer let negative thoughts dictate my happiness; instead, I trust myself and wholeheartedly embrace self-love.


Thank you for being here. I hope I can inspire you to make the changes that you desire. I am here to work with you so that you too, can illuminate your life, your passions, and your path to living your best life.✨


With gratitude,

Carmen

Is Illuminating Coaching the Right Fit for You?

 You may be a great fit if:


You're ready for change

You're at a point where you're looking to change your career or progress in your personal life. Fear may be holding you back from pursing new opportunities. You may not have a clear destination in mind yet, but there is a voice telling you it's time.

You feel overwhelmed

You're navigating the heavy burden of burnout, living in autopilot, and going through the motions of life. Life may seem unbalanced or unfulfilling. You are ready to reclaim your life and joy.

What you are doing is not working

Leave exhaustion behind, learn to say no and escape from perfectionism that is leading to disappointment. This is a safe place to be honest about what you really want.

You're ready to prioritize yourself

You've been putting others' needs ahead of your own and are committed to reclaim a sense of identity and purpose. You want to stop people pleasing and set boundaries and  prioritize yourself without guilt.

You need more time for you

You're second guessing your environments and where you spend your time. You are ready to pursue your passions and make more time for self-care.

You're ready to invest in yourself

You're looking to prioritze your well-being.  You are seeking clarity, peace and success. If it's on your mind, it's meant for you. If it doesn't feel good, it's time for a change.



Coaching may not be for you if:

You 're not ready to commit

If you're unable to commit to scheduled sessions, you can't be accountable right now or if you are doing this for someone else this may not be your time to pursue coaching.

You're expecting a quick fix

Lasting change requires patience, commitment, and a willingness to confront discomfort or setbacks along the way.  Without putting in the work, success rate is reduced.

A medical professional is better suited for your needs

If you have diagnosed mental health conditions, active substance use disorders, or trauma requiring specialized therapy, it's crucial to seek care from licensed medical or mental health professionals. Coaching supports personal growth but isn't a substitute for expert management of complex medical and psychological needs.

Carmen was a guiding light for me when I felt confused and uncertain about how to achieve my goals.

She helped me untangle what was happening by asking questions and making connections I could never have made on my own. I left my coaching sessions with Carmen, feeling lit up and confident that I could take the steps forward that would lead me to the future I envisioned for myself.
