hey, I'm angelique
And I didn't know how to stop. I just knew I'd had enough and something had to give.
my type A, perfectionist tendencies were robbing me of my life.
It was 2021, mid-pandemic, and like many, I was burnt out. I was juggling working 15+ hour days while being mom to my 1.5 year old twin boys and 4 year old daughter. All I knew was I was drowning. I was constantly anxious and thinking about work and was never truly present with my kids. I felt like I never had time for friends, family, let alone me. I was on a never ending hamster wheel and I didn't know how to stop it. The worst part of it was deep down I knew that I was contributing to it all.
While I knew I was at my limit, the perfectionist in me couldn't "quit." I was stuck. Deep down I also knew I was contributing to my reality. If I didn't get clear on my part in all of it, the cycle would likely continue. So when a coaching program came across my path, I signed up. Halfway through the program, my coach asked me that one powerful question and it changed everything. Only I could choose what's best for me. So I got clear, what did "best for me" look like - it was balance, purpose, presence, peace & fun. It wasn't the "traditional" definition of success that I had considered for years. It was time to craft a new definition!
"what if it's not quitting, what if it's choosing what's best for you?" is the question that singlehandedly changed my trajectory.
My Crew
I've seen firsthand how the power of a good question, a new perspective or a newfound awareness can spark a transformation.
My story is still unfolding, but I've discovered part of my journey is to help others in theirs.
Funny enough, it's not going through the coaching program that made me want to be a coach - it hadn't crossed my mind. I spent the next two years scared, frustrated, doubtful, yet hopeful, taking a close look at what I was good at, what I enjoyed and trying new things. It wasn't until I was helping a good friend who was at a crossroads figure out what was best for her that I got my biggest sign - a text from her one that day said, "You were meant to do this."
I followed the breadcrumbs and found it - the life I felt I was meant to live.
