This has been on my mind for a while…

It is time to make it a reality.

2021 is the year… 

I live my dream of traveling and working remotely from all kinds of gorgeous places around the US 🇺🇸 and around the world. 🌎

It started two weeks ago.

More to be revealed soon…

Stay tuned!

Have you found them? (Two key questions you MUST ask yourself to do work you love)

Have you found them? (Two key questions you MUST ask yourself to do work you love)

This quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, in “Big Magic” says it all.

“This is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings […]: The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”

  • Have you found your jewels?
  • “Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”

These two questions are at the CORE of doing the WORK YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE.

… and at the core of what I do with my clients.

  • I help them answer these two questions with a resounding YES.  
  • I help them find their hidden treasures and the courage to bring them worth into their work.

Because without that, you CANNOT do the work you absolutely love. 

How much you love your work is directly correlated with how well you can answer these questions with a YES.

So, let me ask you again: can you answer these questions with a big YES?

If yes, congrats! This is fabulous.

If no and you want to say yes to them so that you can do the work that gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning. it will be my joy and honor to help you. 

I’ve 2 spaces open for my  “Land the Career You Love 1:1 coaching program.” Apply here to schedule a time to chat with me.

I look forward to hearing from you
or from people you know (spouse, relative, friends, co-workers) who need help discovering the work they love in 2020!

Please share this blog with them!

PS. Don’t spend another year or decade with your treasures hidden within you! The world is missing out. and your life is missing out too. Fill out this form and I’ll be in touch.

What are you saying NO to? (pics from my apartment)

What are you saying NO to? (pics from my apartment)

Do you know that saying NO to what you don’t want is as important as saying YES to what you want?

It is often a prerequisite to it.
It is necessary.
You need to say no to what you do NOT want to make space for what you DO want.
There is no other way.

And this is true when you want to do work you love. You have to let go of work that is not for you.

Last week, I had a professional organizer come to my place to help me organize and declutter three big closets I have been procrastinating on. She was so good that she ended up reorganizing my whole apartment!

I gave away several boxes of stuff.
I let go of what was not serving me anymore.
I let go of things that were not bringing me joy.
I let go of things from the past that were not aligned with the future I am creating. It was not easy. 
I wanted to grab onto them.
I resisted at first.
But I knew grabbing onto them would not help me create the feeling I wanted to have in my place.
I HAD to let go to create the NEW feeling I wanted. 
I had to let go of the old to make space for the new. I am SO happy I did. It was worth it. 
I LOVE how my place feels like.
It feels so much more open and spacious for the new things I want in my life.Here are just a few pics. There is WAY more. My closets look amazing! I’m so happy with them that the first thing I do when I get up is look at them. 🙂

What do you need to say NO to to welcome what you want?
What is no longer working for you?
What is it you keep doing or having even if that does not bring you joy?

This is the experience of a lot of my clients. When they clarify the career they DO want, it often comes a time when they have to say NO to what they do not want anymore, which includes the shining offers coming their way that are a reflection of their old self and their old life. I call them “shiny objects.” Ah, because they are SO tempting…

What are “shiny objects” that look so cool on the outside but you know deep down that they are NOT what you truly want?

To make space for what you DO want, you will have –at some point, when the time is right– to say NO to what you do not want anymore.

It won’t be easy.
You will resist it.
Your rational mind will tell you all the reasons why you should not do it.
You will second guess yourself.
I will take courage.

But it will be SO worth it. 
What is on the other side is your freedom and your joy.
Your liberation.

I know it. I have been through it.

This is what I stand for.
This is why I do this work.
To help you be free to be who you truly are and do what you love.

To your freedom,

Isabelle
