Hi, I am Beth An
My story really began many years ago when I was going through a slump. I started doing yoga, reading self-help books, seeing a Therapist and (over)analyzing everything!
I started listening to podcasts, reading books from different 'gurus', searching the internet for answers and insta-fixes. Isn't is always easier when someone else can TELL us how to fix things? My social media was feeding me posts about life coaching (it's like they could read my mind), so I started learning more about it. I took breathwork classes, began meditating, doing yoga - all in the name of HELP ME!
During that time, I was figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. I was doing many things at once, and that was the story I lived by. I was living in a constant state of overwhelm, was always anxious, felt resentful towards everyone around me, and spent my evenings drinking wine to relax and numb.
But very few people knew that. If you didn't know, you'd think I was crushing it. It looked like I had it all together. That was on the 'outside'. You know what I mean? I was a performer. Happy and cool on the outside, yet depressed and crushed on the inside.
When I dealt with the issues underneath the overwhelm, my entire life changed.
I learned to let go of resentment, I learned what to say no to, and I started living my life without guilt, fear and regrets. I began feeling better, and once I felt better internally, my external world began to shift. I lost the weight I had gained and stopped carrying around the ‘backpack of bricks’ that were my past. Even more importantly, I began to genuinely love myself (every single part of it) and life’s new journey began.. I was determined to live! Seek serenity and be happy. I was becoming a safer person to love and be loved.
This is why I help women with overwhelm. I know what it feels like to be where you are, and I know the freedom on the other side. My life has changed in so many ways, I found love again, my true north. I am the happiest I have been in YEARS!
I’ve got you, girl. You want to feel calm, at ease, grounded, in control, and confident. That's exactly how I wanted to feel too, and now I do. This is what I teach my clients to do and it's absolutely possible for you too. I am here to help, listen, guide and seek to find YOU!
Bellajourna Coaching is here to help you find YOUR beautiful journey!
Music has always ‘fed’ me, makes me feel alive. Songs that motivate me when I need it and could help you too ….
“Unwritten” – Natasha Bedingfield
“Today is where your book begins / The rest is still unwritten.”
“Fight Song” – Rachel Platen
“This is my fight song / Take back my life song / Prove I'm alright song.”
“Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” – Kelly Clarkson
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger / Stand a little taller.”
“I’m Coming Out” – Diana Ross
“I'm coming out / I want the world to know / Got to let it show.”
I began studying life coaching.
I had no idea I had any control over my thoughts. I thought for sure they were happening TO me. I felt overwhelmed, stressed, and desperate, and believed it was all completely out of control. When in reality, my life became out of control. I was not only living with speed bumps, but pot holes too!
One day during a yoga class, when the teacher said the words, "notice your thoughts in this pose", something clicked. Turns out, that teacher was also a life coach, and her simply saying those words set me on a completely new path. That, and I was really tired of being ‘tired’.
Solving for overwhelm meant solving for a lot of other issues going on. I wasn't overwhelmed because of my busy schedule. I was overwhelmed with letting the past get in the way of the future.
There was more to it - I was busy trying to prove my worth by doing more, I wasn't willing to ask for help because I believed I should be able to handle it all! I wasn't being totally honest with ME! It was time for the next chapter in the book of life.
I began doing the tough work. LOOKING INSIDE. What was I missing? What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is?
That’s when things began to change. I was ready to dive deeper to figure out - WHO AM I? What makes Beth An happy? Can I change? Am I willing to do the tough, soul-searching work that is necessary to discover my true and authentic self? Crap - this stuff is scary! But l was ready!
