In 2012, my life was turned upside down with four words. Sitting next to me, my husband was told, "You have Parkinson's Disease". I felt a combination of shock, fear, grief, and anger. The next moments were a blur of words like degenerative, progressive, and incurable. He was 48. Our daughter had just graduated high school, our son was learning to drive, and we were caring for my mother-in-law who had vascular dementia.
I had thrown myself into raising our kids, expecting that when they were on their own, THEN I would have the time and energy to seek out my purpose and find my inner strength. I was working full-time outside the home, trying to make ends meet. How was I now supposed to take care of him and find myself at the same time? I spent the next decade feeling lost, alone, fearful and defeated.
Things finally changed when I felt like I was going to drown! God sent me a life-preserver in the form of a transformational life coach. Through some tough conversations and real work, I found my inner strength, realized my passion for authenticity, and a purpose that drives me to speak out to the Care Partner who doesn't know where to turn for the support they truly need.
With my newfound resilience, I have shifted my focus from living in fear of the uncertainties and unknowns to embracing the possibilities that lie ahead. This transformation has also brought a profound sense of peace to my husband, who once worried about my well-being. Now, I invite you to join me on this empowering journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we can tap into your inner power, navigate life's uncertain waters, and embark on a transformative voyage towards a brighter future.
