Ahhh, that moment when the Good Witch, says “You had the power all along dear” to Dorothy and she clicks her beautiful Ruby slippers together and poof she is back to Kansas, her home.
We all know the story of how she followed that yellow brick road and along the way she met dear friends, like the scarecrow, the tin man and the lion. She also met a terrifying witch, scary monkeys, drug filled poppy field and a charlatan wizard to name a few!
I think the story is so profound. We all follow the our yellow brick roads, called life, don’t we? We meet our scarecrows, tin men,and lions. We find love, courage, brains and we also have our share of witches, scary monkeys and charlatan wizards. they come in the form of disappointments, fear, loss to name a few. We get lost and can’t find our way back home to our own Kansas so to speak, just like Dorothy.
Sometimes when we are lost we feel stuck, but like Dorothy, we have the power all along, we really do. And sometimes like Dorothy, we need The Good Witch Glinda along our side to help us find our power, to help us remember that all we have to do is click our heels.
In my own life, I have found my Good Witch Glindas many times over! I hire Life Coaches to help me find my way. When my husband and I decided to follow our dream and move to a tropical island we hired a coach to help us make sure we got there. When we almost died in a car accident I hired a coach to help me find my way to the new normal. Building a business to help others, I hired a coach. I hired a coach to help me figure out Wine! And each time what they did was help me realize that all along I had the power to find my own way, my own answers, my own power! Not saying it is actually always so easy as clicking the ruby slippers. It is however about finding your own power when life has obscured it from us!
When Ruffus and I were out running this morning it came to me that as a Life Coach for others I am like the Good Witch Glinda! I support my clients, I believe in my clients, I champion their success and serve as a guidepost to them, keeping them from danger and most of all reminding them they have the power all along.

REVIEW:
I’ve been seeing Suzy for almost a year now. 2020/2021 Wow. I can’t imagine where I would be without her support over this time. She coached me through recovery from Covid-19, a subsequent back problem that landed me nearly 3 months of bed rest, a strict quarantine when the new variant hit my community, reentry into society and work, and all of the things I didn’t even know that were pulling at my strings, making me a puppet of an unhelpful mentality.
Suzy has a very special ability to know someone and be with them in just the way they need. She has been very flexible with me as a cheerleader, coach, friend, and teacher. Imagine if you had a teacher that let you write your curriculum and determine your own homework and when you didn’t feel like it, they would do it for you.
I came to Suzy to get some help with self-discipline and maybe set a new course for my career. I got that and as a bonus, I have made changes that have essentially removed mental illness from my life. What!? I don’t even know how to explain it. I just know that I have always been on and off medications for depression and anxiety and now I doubt if I will ever need them again.
It sounds like a lot, and it is.
For me, having a life coach has sped up my development in every aspect of life that is important to me. Sometimes it is simple things like arranging my schedule. Sometimes it is crucial shifts like learning to love and care for myself.
Lucky you, you have access to Suzy too.
