I was moved some years ago by a poem which I’d love to share with you. You may be familiar with the words of Marianne Williamson, I’m sure if you’re like me then you won’t mind reading them again.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
I wonder how these words affect you? I know that the first time I read them I could see how I’d been ‘fitting’ in with everyone else and was keeping myself small so I didn’t stand out, didn’t want to risk criticism from others and lacked belief in myself – I didn’t want to be seen. Do you do this too? My self esteem was very low. It cost me relationships with friends and partners, I didn’t think anyone would find me interesting or my opinions. I felt I was a disappointment to my family, was happy to spend money on my children but not on myself, didn’t like myself very much, didn’t feel safe and was always worrying about things. And then good news - it began to change! I got some coaching and mentoring!
It was like the chains that were holding me a prisoner just dropped off and I was able to step into the light, regain my self esteem, discover who I really was and began to live my purpose to the full.
Whilst I didn’t have the money, I knew I didn’t want to put my life on hold and if things stayed as they were, I’d never have the money. I could see how much my flawed thought patterns and behaviours were costing me (and as a role model, future generations). I knew that my happy future depended on getting some support. I was ready to invest in myself so I borrowed some money and used my credit card. It was the best thing I could have done to set myself free and to release the ‘real’ me again!
Having a coach to ‘hold my hand’, someone who asked me the difficult questions that I’d never asked myself, who supported and believed in me, my really accelerated my progress. The results were tremendous! I still have a coach and a mentor today who support me to accelerate in other areas of my life - coaching is super powerful!
Do you feel ready to step into the light too? Have these blogs over the months been supporting you to make some changes which are creating a better life for you?

What do some previous clients say about their coaching/mentoring experience with me?
“Ali’s wonderful warmth and generous spirit puts you immediately at ease. Her intuition and empathy combined with a fervent support of what makes each individual woman uniquely special leads to a coaching session that is uplifting and inspiring. Ali will not only make you realise what is great about you, but help you on a path towards realising your own unique potential.” Yiannik Bennett, Florida
“Ali immediately made me feel very comfortable and safe during our coaching session with her friendly and empathetic approach. I had been blocked for some time and was unsure how to progress forward. She skillfully changed tack when it became apparent that I was not going to respond predictably but still enabled me to feel in control at all times. Due to her spontaneous and skillful creativity, we ended up achieving far more than I would have dreamed possible. As a result of the session, I at last feel able to move forward again, helped in no small way by the strategies and exercises she has given me. I give Ali highest recommendation. Anyone who is seeking sensitive and skilled guidance in their business or personal lives would benefit greatly by seeking her help”. Laurelle Rond, England
“What is special about Ali’s coaching is her gentle and compassionate approach, along with her perceptive and intuitive insights. Through her support and her powerful questioning, I have been able to see more clearly and be more empowered. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who wants to make deep and significant changes in their lives. Thank you Ali for all your help!” Hilary Reeves, England
“Ali has a great manner about her. She is patient and easy to talk to and really helped me to think about my priorities and focus in life.” Ros Kitson, England
“Ali is a wonderful, sensitive and compassionate coach and friend. She has helped me to get back in touch with my self worth and talents when I had lost sight of them, spending many years at home looking after my family. I now feel ready to move on to the next stage of my life and I am very grateful to Ali for helping me find the way.” Chris Iishin Horner, New Zealand
