I am a work in progress….
I try to write my Morning Pages every day but lately I have been struggling with it. I wake up tired and think that I would rather have the extra 20 minutes of snoozing than doing the writing even though I know that the 20 minutes I spend on the Morning Pages are so much more beneficial to me than hitting the snooze button once or twice.
But this morning I woke up feeling refreshed (which may have had something to do with the fact that I went to bed at a decent hour and got a good 8 hours sleep) and wrote. And wrote, and wrote.
I love to write – I may have mentioned that before.
It helps me to make sense of many thoughts and to distill them into some helpful ideas.
This morning was no different. I had a blinding insight that I am still processing and coming to terms with, about something that I have been processing and coming to terms with for a very long time now. And it seems that I am a long way off. But, still, today’s thought helped me to get to a different level of engagement with – and acceptance of – this conundrum.
Ever since I started coaching I realised that I am not really comfortable with the label of life coach because it feels restricting. I am not just a coach – I am so much more than what the term coach describes.
I am a coach.
But I am also a mentor. I am a healer. I am a seer. I am a listener. I am a witness. I am a guide. I am a teacher. I am a writer. I am a counselor. I am a heart worker. I am a skills developer. I am a learner. I am a reconciler. I am a container. I am a creator. I am a catalyst….
I am a work in progress.
Today I started to make peace with the fact that I am a work in progress, and that my work is too. I am constantly evolving into more of who I really am.
And I am fine with that.

- “I have seen various psychologists and therapists but none of them have the skill of Judy in being able to relate to me and the way I think about things.”
- “Judy, you have given me the tools to change and move my life in directions I never knew possible. I am truly grateful for your help.”
- “Perception is everything and working with Judy has helped me realise my true potential by changing my outlook of life into more positive ones. I enjoy walking out of a life coaching session feeling like I am in control again, less stressed and more energetic.”
- “Judy is my go-to person when I find myself uncertain about how to interpret the signposts in my life. Her insights and ability to draw out what lies deepest inside have helped provide clarity and integrity at pivotal life moments over many years.”
- “I’d recommend Judy to anyone who’s feeling stuck, weary, confused, discouraged, uncertain, in need of support – basically, I’d recommend her to any carbon-based life form that breathes oxygen and would like to have a wonderful life.”
