KATHRYN THOMPSON: HOW I ALIGNED WITH MY SOUL & USED MY CHRONIC PAIN AS A WAKE UP CALL. I LEFT MY HIGH-PAID CORPORATE MARKETING JOB TO BE A COACH. HOW I FOUND MY CONFIDENCE AND WORTH.
Hey from Thailand everyone! On today’s episode I catch up with a Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator graduate, Kathryn Thompson. Kathryn and I chat about everything from how she got sick in her corporate job (sound familiar?!) to how she finally was able to step out into entrepreneurship, to how she was able to really own her worth and confidence as a coach, to how she was able to find alignment in her life and is feeling better than ever. It’s a really juicy episode that I know you’re going to relate to so much, especially if you’ve ever struggled in the corporate world, kind of going from job to job thinking that the next one will bring you the fulfillment you’re looking for. Or thinking that you’ll go back to school for another degree because that will bring you the fulfillment you’re looking for. Kathryn was waking up from anxiety dreams, with her heart racing, something she never experienced before in her life. She experienced just this total apathy and boredom in her life where she wasn’t motivated to do ANYTHING except veg on the couch. She finally took the leap into entrepreneurship but it wasn’t what she thought it would be until she finally aligned with her soul and created what she was truly meant to do. For those of you out there still struggling to get clarity on what you’re meant to do or those who are finally DOING it but really feeling so exhausted, heavy and overwhelmed, this episode will hit home for you.If you listen and enjoy it please give me a shoutout on Instagram and let me know over at Punchdrunksoul!
