Hi Nova,
I have recently seen “the change” in Stacy. You were right, all the prep and then one day the really obvious change in her thinking, her control of the issues, and the discarding of negative self-talk that was keeping her down.
I too am hugely proud of Stacy, she is turning into quite the focused young adult who now has control of her life. Now I am sure now she will be able to do anything that she wants to do with her life. She has developed this quite strength that comes from knowing her self well, something you have helped her to come to know and take control of.
Nova, you have played such a major role for this part of her life and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sincere help, in fact I cannot thank you enough… You have cared enough to cry with her and gently help her change a little at a time. It is obvious now, life coach for a life change, duh?
You have touched our lives, left your mark of positive change upon us and you will always be remembered for your kindness.
My sincere and deepest gratitude sent along with a warm hug.
Thank you,
Barbara

A Touching Client Testimonial written by Step Stones For Life client and blog user, FindingHope.
For a very long time, I was suffering from an awful eating disorder. Bulimia is a deceitful voice in one’s head, ironically feeding not from food, but off of fear, anger & anxiety. It grows stronger by manipulating and shadowing one’s true self, until one day, you don’t recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror. It is a horrifying experience to realize the monster you’ve grown inside, and even worse to surrender to it.
During the course of my disorder, I felt my soul slowly slipping away. For a while I believed that it was held in place, somewhere in my core, only by a tiny, delicate thread. I continued my lifestyle for years until I wasn’t even sure if it was there at all. A constant numbness convinced me that I had lost my soul forever, creating this vast hollowness inside, so deep I don’t know where it began or ended.
I was convinced by this voice that I would be like this forever. I accepted both the dependence and false support I received from this disguised demon. His arms were wrapped around me so tightly I could hardly breathe. Yet, how would I function without him? In essence, fear perpetuated fear. My attempts at recovery can only compare to a very bad relationship. The kind where you break up and reconcile, over and over. You constantly try to end it, but end up running back to open arms, feeling both safety and shame at returning yet again.
Sometimes I think about the recovery process I experienced with my life coach as unbelievable, because I truly felt that I was a lost cause beyond repair. I wanted so badly to live a different life, I just didn’t know where, or when, or how to begin.
Due to an intense fear of judgment, I had trouble asking for help. When I finally reached out for life coaching with Nova, I still had issues trusting someone with my dark and shameful secret. Slowly, and when I was ready, she convinced me, among other things, to simply find hope. It was inside me all along, buried by illusion. Hope presented itself as this flicker of light, a momentary reflection of gold, a chance at a meaningful and fulfilling life. For the first time in years, I felt the presence of my soul, of me, and was secretly in awe of the strength of that tiny, delicate thread.
I feel emotional when I think about my life coaching experience. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, excitement, and even a little fear at the prospect of this new life that I’m creating. But even a big amount of fear is not enough to pull this heavy anchor of hope, faith, and awareness I discovered inside of me, all thru the steady encouragement of my life coach. I am a great work in progress, constantly learning and growing. I have a bright, golden voice.
With Sincerity,
FindingHope
