Paula Day.
Paula’s definition of resilience is our ability to control our emotions, when we become triggered or stressed when the bigger events come in life that can take our life on a turn.
It is our ability to take one step forward every day, to believe n ourselves and to manage our stress levels.
Paula started her career as an accountant, in her career she was exposed to amazing leadership programs and coaches.
Then Paula had a baby boy who had become disabled, and was preparing to be wheel chair bound. Paula had to make a choice, was she going to focus on earning more money to support the care and services that her son required? Or was she going to stay at home to look after her son? Luckily her dad stepped in and retired at age 53 to help out. This allowed Paula to climb the corporate ladder. Her vision began to come true, she had an amazing office, view and team. But she was missing her kids and wasn’t seeing them as much as she wanted.
Paula decided she had to make a change, she began to listen to podcasts and was inspired to start a t-shirt business. It took off on Amazon and she began to make more money doing less, amazing! She hired a team and she grew the business.
Then Paula’s relationship took a turn and broke down. Overnight, all her accounts had changed and because she had put the t-shirt business in her husband’s name due to technicalities, and she lost everything. She moved back in with her parents, and went through the painful process of separating her life from her now ex-husband. After 7 months of legal battle, she decided to stop the fight, and she chose to move forward with love instead. Paula realised she had leadership and coaching skills, and she decided to train as a NLP practitioner which really helped her in her healing.
Paula learned that when we have a goal, we need to believe in ourselves to make it happen. We attract what we think about, and we need to take responsibility for our part in that. Paula’s lowest point was when she was surrounded by boxes in her parents house, adjusting to seeing her kids only 50% of the time. Going through this is what birthed her coaching program, it just poured out of her. Could it be possible that the adversities that we go through, are teaching us who we need to be, to have what we really want in our lives?
But if we caught up with stress and rigidity, we can lose these moments and gifts and the lessons then are there to teach us. When we can overcome this with a flexible mindset, we can elevate ourselves to be greater than our obstacles, our negativity and our fears.
Paula learned that you can take everything away, we are still here and we will be ok. We can rebuild from loss and that realisation is what took the fear away for Paula.
Paula’s tips:
Take time on your own after a breakup to reflect.
Take responsibility for your part and ask yourself how can I show up differently moving forward in my life?
Be open to love, put your phone down, be more present when you walk down the street.
