It All Starts With Compassion

I believe that if we want to be the people who can achieve our dreams, celebrate ourselves, and overcome challenges despite mental health challenges, Our Journey starts with Self Compassion  Everyday Joy

I grew up on the philosophy that if a person is "scary" and "soft", the best way to build their strength is to beat someone down. That way the person will be immune to other people's punches and will also maintain humility but as I have grown up that has only resulted in anxiety, low self esteem, impatience with myself, fear of the future and shame about the past. 

Negative Self Regulation has never supported the positive things in my life. I've felt lonely in a crowded room of people, I have a hard time celebrating my accomplishments, instead of feeling pride and empowered when I do something good, I feel ashamed and worthless.

I would ask myself, What is wrong with me?!!!

If you have ever felt like this, Let's Work Together!

Vivid and Vibrant Coaching is my offering rooted in Peer Support, Mental Health Recovery, Advocacy, Collaboration, Compassion and Community. 

I believe that we can utilize tools to help us get through life together, achieve goals and find moments of joy everyday despite our conditions.

For years I have been working as a Peer Support Advocate, Coach, Facilitator, Trainer and all other things under other people's umbrella. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with NAMI, DBSA, HeyPeers, Warmer, Chicago Public Schools and so many other organizations sharing my story and helping people understand mental health a little better especially in the Black Community. 

But Now it is time for me to go out on my own with all the experience, knowledge, training and support I've grown into through this career.

This journey is just starting and I ask that you share grace and patience with me as I evolve and grow from here.

I look forward to going on this journey with you.
