PSSH! I honestly thought it was the DUMBEST career ever.
We had just moved all the way from San Diego, CA, after spending four months recovering from 33hrs of driving to Memphis (my hometown)..Nashville sounded perfect for our next life.
The only thing was..moving to Nashville was for my husband's plan, so I thought. He had just discharged from the U.S. Navy and was on a search for his real passions in life. He had received all of the signs for what his next move would be. Check this out, God revealed it to him through me..I was watching TV and this commercial kept playing over and over and over again, only like 10 TIMES! It was a commercial for that automotive tech school, UTI. ding ding ding! "BAE! Since you enjoy cars sooo much, how about school?!" 

And so it began. After spending four months purposeless in the M (that's what I call Memphis)..we eagerly searched for the right school. Eeh, Memphis didn't have it. (which was fine because we didn't wanna live there anyway-most natives have an escape plan) I mean, would you really settle for your hometown of 18yrs after living here?!
EXACTLY!

Meanwhile, hubbi is feeling all purposeful and passionate and I'm just like....what am I gonna do? Cause in San Diego, I was planning to start school to become a Holistic Practitioner, a "natural healing doctor". I thought I had narrowed down my passions. I'm gonna tell you start to finish what they were: Meteorologist,  Microbiologist, Pathologist, Phlebotomist, Dietician, Nutritionist, Holistic Practitioner, Naturopathist....all the while keeping some business plans. I tried looking into schools here that taught Holistic Wellness but to my disadvantage it was ILLEGAL in Tennessee.
WOOOOOWW God, so you're telling me that what I want to do with my life, I CAN'T do it?! And when we left, our Network Marketing business plummeted! Coming back to TN was officially the worst decision for me...California was all happy, sunny, and healthy but here I was all humid, allergic, and purposeless in Tennessee.

I mean y'all, I was looking far and wide for something HOLISTIC! The closest I got to any legal holistic practices were acupuncture and chiropractic...I'm sorry, but it did not satisfy what my soul was really aching to do. Wait, did I even know what my soul wanted? I kept praying for God to reveal the plan, reveal my strengths, talents, and gifts! SOMETHING! God says over in Jeremiah 29:11,

"For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."

Reread those words...aren't they beautiful words to hear? So what are the plans God? I learned that God doesn't want us to be confused about where we are nor where we are going in life. One of my favorite Christian artists, Sevin, mentioned in one of his songs called 'Forgive Me',

"Your struggle in life is not to find your way, but to find what God was thinking when He created you."

So God...what were you thinking when you made me? huh? I can't practice holistic health, I stopped doing Network Marketing, I'm young and CLUELESS. Somehow I ended up on that dumb holistic life coaching website that tricked me a few months earlier. But this time instead of skimming through, I read it all the way from beginning to end. As I was reading, my heart began to soften, my mind began to open, and I got butterflies in my stomach. LIFE COACHING WAS SO ME! A CAREER?! FOR STUFF I'VE BEEN DOING ALL MY LIFE?! ALRIGHT!! And that was the day I walked away thinking there is literally a career for everything. No excuse folks. My first class for Life Coaching was on my 21st birthday, thank you God for one of the best birthday gifts of my life!

Special thanks to my Master Coach, Dez Stephens, the owner of Radiant Health Institute where I received my certification!
