WTF is a life coach + life update (Patreon)

I started working with a business & mindset coach a few weeks ago (aka life coach). It took me alot of convincing to take the financial leap into paying for her services because what the fuck is a life coach anyway? The convincing factor was the support and direction she was offering with the start-up of my business.

So here I am, 3 weeks into working with a life coach and holy fucking shit, my life has been turned upside down and back the front. My beliefs, views and all the little stories I've been telling myself have been questioned and I've had all my bullshit thrown back into my face. Apparently she forgot to add the disclaimer that this was going to feel like therapy! But I am LOVING IT!

But i'll tell you what, being in the van fulltime with Anna has been really REALLY hard. We're together literally 24/7. We eat together, sleep together, work together, pee together. I hit a breaking point yesterday... since working with this coach, alot of suppressed emotion and questionable beliefs have come up for me and although I should have taken time alone to process these things that had surfaced, I didn't, and I lashed out at Anna.

Of course, she didn't deserve that, and I felt awful that I had treated her that way, but it also allowed me to see that I wasn't processing these newly discovered emotions & triggers. I latched onto anger as this emotion felt safe, it's an emotion I knew well.

I also want to share a little something I learnt about anger: Anger is often called a secondary emotion because we tend to resort to anger in order to protect ourselves from or cover up other vulnerable feelings. A primary feeling is what is what is felt immediately before we feel anger. We almost always feel something else first before we get angry.

P.s I don't know what the hell is going on with the image quality of my uploaded photos on here?!
