How Aryn Got Her Life Back

By . Posted on .

I didn't think coaching was for me. A therapist, that's what I thought would do the trick. I didn't know anyone who had a life coach; everyone has a therapist. After months of therapy, and a handful of prescriptions that I was told would help me deal with the pain, my mental and emotional state were still the same. My destructive thinking, depression, and sadness were still very much alive and thriving.

Therapy was clearly not working. I thought, why not give this life coach a try – what do I have to lose? After my first session with Marni, I felt different, I felt empowered. Over time, she helped me stop making excuses, got me out of playing the victim, and helped me detach from my break-up in a healthy way – no prescriptions necessary.

The truth is, there is no "trick." It takes work. I remember Marni telling me that people hope one day they will wake up and magically be over their break-up, their relationship, whatever their "situation" may be. While that sounds wonderful, it's absolutely not the case.

You have to put in the work if you want to get through your situation in a healthy way and not make the same mistakes in the future. Marni will undoubtedly help you do that. She saved my life in every way it could have been saved. I stopped blaming other people, started taking control of my life, and began creating a life I love. I would not have been able to do this without my life coach. I love you Marni! Thank you, for teaching me how to get my life back!
