"Three months ago my life was overwhelming, frustrating, and I was on the verge of depression. Life was happening to me instead of me taking charge of my life. Everything was completely out of balance.

Coaching with Kellie has been like going from a floodlight down to a laser beam! I have a clarity of purpose and I've become super effective at managing my life. My house, which used to be a disaster, has become organized and a lot cleaner. My kids are much happier, enjoying the changes, which they've helped to create.  They've taken ownership and responsibility for helping with the house, the food preparation, and for doing more of their homeschooling work independently. I've learned truly effective time management, not just this pie in the sky, no one could really do it stuff that you read about sometimes. I'm a much better mom, more patient with my children.

I now have a much better understanding of why I did things, at a level I've never had before. It's as though before the coaching, I was snorkling, and then Kellie took me scuba diving . . . into the depths, where I could see what was really going on under the surface.

I learned how important it is to understand why you do something, to understand the voids you're trying to fill, in order to choose to do it differently. You really don't have to keep doing the same thing over and over again. 

One thing that was HUGE for me was learning to recognize when I need to say NO. Before Kellie's coaching, no was not a word that appeared in my vocabulary. There was simply no no in the dictionary of Rhonda. Now I'm able to say no and not feel guilty about it! I actually feel a sense of calm when I say it.

A bonus is my children have benefited and learned from my example. They've seen how I've learned to set goals and establish boundaries in my life, and have begun to do the same. Maria in particular is beginning to stand up for herself with some of the kids that previously pushed her around.

Kellie has great energy! You can feel it even across the telephone lines. She helped keep me motivated.  I always felt as though I was her top priority, and she never judged anything I said. I felt safe and secure enough with her to be honest and open. She never tried to impose her opinions on me, she never made me feel guilty. I always looked forward to our weekly talks because I knew she would be my cheerleader, she'd be there to say "whoo-hoo!" and to affirm what a great job I had done.

And if things hadn't gone so well, I knew she'd be there to lift me up and help me see options when I didn't thing there were any. Through Kellie, I learned there are always options, you just have to be open to them."
