Success Stories and Praise

I struggled to get free of emotional pain for many years; I’d been going to personal-development seminars since the 70’s and had worked with several therapists, but nothing solved my problem.

Cheryl and I got to the heart of the matter by addressing the unhealed childhood sexual trauma that was keeping me stuck, suffering, and at odds with myself and others. In fewer than six weeks, I broke free from the pain and captivity caused by a childhood trauma which had plagued me for decades. When I did, other upsets and unresolved incidents throughout my life began to effortlessly resolve themselves as well.

Today, I am at peace with myself and my life. My relationships have deepened, and my life has taken on a new sweetness and meaning. I credit my work with Cheryl with helping me finally set myself free and take back my life.

and mentored through a process that taught me that to take care of my daughter, my family, and others, I needed to understand myself, my goals and what my life was about. Her exercises made all the difference in helping me be my best, so I could provide for my family. Today my daughter is doing great, and I continue to use the exercises that Cheryl taught me to this day.

heard, “everything you want is on the other side of fear,” but I didn’t know how to get to the other side of fear. I had more to do than I could ever get done, which was raising my stress levels so high that I was worried. Virtually every night I feel asleep with my phone or some device in my hands while answering work emails. I would set my alarm to 4AM or 5AM the next morning, hoping I could catch up the next day, which I never did.

I knew I was getting to the end of my rope, and I didn’t see any way out. A lot of negative stuff was going on in my relationships. I had a health scare which I feared might end my life, and one night as I was tucking my children into bed, I wondered what was going to become of me and how that might impact them … and that was the moment that I knew it all had to change. The stress was getting to me, and I had to say, “no more.”

Cheryl and I spoke. She understood everything I wanted to change, and she told me if I was willing to be coachable, she was 100% confident that she could solve my problems. I have a background in social services and counseling, and we don’t ever tell anyone we can fix anything! My brain was like, “nah!” but she was so strong in her conviction that I said yes.

Since coaching with Cheryl, I no longer get stuck in the trauma of the past. Now I own it, and it’s released its grip on me. The biggest thing I’ve accomplished is I don’t feel afraid anymore; I broke free from fear and stress and anxiety. Fear has gone away in a way that I would never have imagined, and I am so much calmer and so much braver. Now I say and do things on a daily basis that surprise me because I’m no longer afraid. I can go into the zone and look people in the eye and know that I am safe, sound, strong, and secure. I’ve been able to have courageous conversations that I’ve dreaded for years, and I’ve received gratitude for initiating those conversations. My relationships have deepened and I’m finally seeing what’s on the other side of fear.

Now no matter what comes my way, I have the tools to face it. I feel like the superhero of my own life. I cannot thank Cheryl enough for the difference the coaching has made in me. Life is taking some serious turns and at the same time I am calmer and braver and genuinely happier than I can ever remember being.

I was dealing with depression, and a lack of passion in anything. I had a fear of losing myself, as well as not becoming the person I want to be. Also, I was feeling like I didn’t know what I wanted in life; I was directionless and regretful.

Since going through the coaching, things have been going SO WONDERFULLY! I’ve met tangible goals like getting a promotion and buying a home, but really, Cheryl’s given me confidence. I feel like I have the tools and perspective to reach any goal. It’s been such a coincidence that my life started looking up after working with her … 🙂

Before coaching with Cheryl, I’d go to sleep when I got home, because I lost my want to stay up and be creative. I wanted life to be more passionate and about something other than work. I generally felt confronted and procrastinated until opportunities has passed.

Since going through the coaching, I’ve found my confidence and I accomplished a better understanding of my anxiety and how to work with it to achieve the best impact. I also understood that I needed to create boundaries. Now that I understand my anxiety and my need for boundaries, I analyze my day to day differently. Being present and really listening to the real me has made decision making a therapeutic process and this is something I am the most thankful for. I think the most unexpected thing that I learned about myself is facing my anxiety through the art of understanding it. Once I see it as something hurt and my way of just trying to be comfortable, it becomes easier to overcome it when it gets scary and loud.

What I would say to anyone who is considering coaching with Cheryl is that it is something everyone should experience. She holds you accountable and if you give her a chance and open up to her help and process, it truly is life-changing.

It took working with Cheryl to help spin things and turn things around in such a way that would bring me hope and the light that I needed, but truly couldn’t get on my own. She was able to help me see how one of the darkest hours of my life could be a blessing. I am now on the other side, and I am like a new person. I am eternally grateful.

Cheryl struck a chord with me. I had just stepped into a coffee shop as it started to rain. She said: “Until we reconcile all the pieces of ourselves, we aren’t what we could be. I used to pray to have the day be uneventful: “please give me an uneventful day”. Then I started realising that I was becoming somebody that I was proud of, and that it happened because of the adversity. I realised that saying “I want an uneventful day, and an eventful life” was beneath me. It was a disservice to who I was becoming and the difference that I was starting to make for other people.”

I started to sob, and had to physically hold myself against a wall in order to breathe. I have been so overwhelmed since coming home a year ago. It’s like I had all of this energy to give, and was helping millions of children get access to education. And it cost me my light. I feel so guilty every day, like I wasn’t strong enough to keep myself going, when others suffer far more than I do. All I’ve been asking for are uneventful days: “please, let me just live in the woods in silence and never have to think about what’s going on in the world, it’s all too much to bear”.

Cheryl helped me see that this is part of trauma – it will never go away – I’ll carry the weight of what I saw and experienced for the rest of my life. But I should embrace the experience, and give in to the change. I feel the universe guiding me, and I’ve been too afraid to acknowledge it. I see how I can use my experiences to help others, and feel supported to do this now.

Since then, I’ve recovered a lot. I met the love of my life, and we’re expecting a little girl on Christmas Day. I really believe that the universe delivered exactly what I needed, and I feel so strong now.

Since working with Cheryl, I gained the self-confidence I needed to in order to proactively drive my career forward, which has gained me multiple promotions into various vice-president and senior vice-president roles throughout my tenure as a high-tech female executive. I might also add that this has resulted in a 30% base income increase. I’m glad I partnered with Cheryl to catapult my career aspirations.

but I was feeling burnout and a need to move on. I had so many ideas and not enough true confidence to relate to myself in a new way, despite having all the proper training and qualifications. Working with Cheryl, I identified and cleared the blockages from my past which were preventing me from moving in a new direction. I have now created a new business that is starting to thrive. I totally credit my work with Cheryl for this great change in direction; she helped me reconstruct my inner world so that my outer world now reflects my truest dreams and desires.
