We are not given a road map in life and often times we need help to develop skills and tools to move forward on our journey. With a background in psychology and having worked with a coach extensively herself, Mia has developed a wisdom that she feels compelled to share with others. Listening to our truth can often be upsetting but when we are feeling stuck, it’s often the only way forward. The invisible wars we have inside our head shape the way we see our world and ourselves. Life coaching can help us shift our limiting beliefs so that we can take responsibility for our own struggles and get through to the other side.

Mia’s Journey

Struggling with her self-worth, Mia began working with a gifted life coach in 1994 and found that she did not have the skills to self love. She was more comfortable beating herself down than lifting herself up. Logically, she understood what she was struggling with, but there were illogical voices that kept driving her choices. Her self-judgment was killing her spirit and she needed learn to understand the truth buried underneath the critical inner dialogue. The inner wars created outer conflict, but she began to learn that when she took responsibility and owned her struggles, she was able to get through to the other side.

There was no shortcut, it was through facing her fears and processing the messages they were relaying, that she began to fully engage in life. The invisible wars she was having inside her head were shaping how she saw the world, and through through coaching, she was able to develop a language to identify them. She began shining a light on those battles in order to get all of the uncomfortable feelings of anger, sadness, and rage out.

Through her own struggles, she found her unique voice as a coach. We must give our illogical voices - these inner battles and big feelings - worth because the more we try to shut them down, the more power we give them to shut us out from a feeling of inner peace and balance.

The Process

Every thought has a feeling, and every feeling carries a vibration that affects our overall wellbeing. If we logically understand our actions and behaviors without getting to the feelings and the energy they carry, then we may be walking around incongruent and upset because something is off. We are off our center, because we’ve missed something. This can lead to anxiety, depression, isolation, addict behavior, and phobias. The work Mia does encourages her clients to go to the hard-to-reach places. We know a lot, but often we have to go beyond what we know and listen to parts of us that have been shut down, shamed, ridiculed, hurt. The world is changing at a rapid pace, and in order to keep up, we need to look at where our inner world is out of order so we don’t get lost in confusion.

There are many paths we can take at any given point in our lives, we get stuck when we don’t know how to listen and trust our inner knowing. I help my clients identify the inner blocks that are clouding their choices so they can begin a path of inner discovery. In addition to focusing on where they want to go, we focus on the recurring obstacle that keeps them from trusting their choices. Our struggles are directly linked to our inner purpose in life. When you move toward the struggle and get inside of it, and understand it from every angle, it teaches you about yourself and connects you to your intuition (inner teacher). The flip side of your struggle, once understood, heard, and healed, is often the very thing that is your purpose. Then you can go out and live it, be it, and share it with authenticity.
