My Coaching Story

Hi! I'm Barb. Here are 10 things I want you to know about me.

*  I am 67 years old. Married 48 years. Have 10 children.       Have 23 grandchildren with 2 more to be born soon.

*  I became a Christian when I was 22. I saw that just 

    having some religion wasn't enough. I still feared death 

    and eternity, plus I had no peace in my life. I realized that

    I needed to personally accept Jesus as my Savior. That 

    began the best and most purpose filled life I could live.

*  I have lost 2 sons. One died of leukemia 18 years ago 

    and one was a Navy Seal who was killed when he was 

    deployed 11 years ago. I walked through great grief and

    have come to a place of peace.

*  I am a caregiver for my dear husband who has Parkinsons

    and Lewy Body Dementia. I am continuing to learn to 

    navigate all of the changes and challenges this brings. I 

    have found coaching essential here.

*  I love to quilt and stitch. It is so delightful to choose a 

    pattern and fabric to create such magical beauty.

*  I love my houseplants! They bring such delight to me.

*  I love being fit. I love the classes I go to at the YMCA. It

    has been so fun to get stronger!

*  I adore my grandchildren!! I am the stuffed animal doctor,     coloring partner, tea party friend and so many delightful 

    things. Starting on their 5th birthday I get to take them out

    for lunch and a small shopping spree. I love the one-on-

    one time with them.

*  I found life coaching when I was drowning in negativity 

    and discouragement. To my surprise I found that what I 

    was learning at The Life Coach School related to the 

    Scriptures. I found my way out through the Scriptures with 

    coaching related to them. I have experienced a 

    transformation in my life that has brought me an amazing 

    peace and sense of richness that I never knew was 

    possible.

 * Although coaching has helped me so much, I still have         challenges and frustrations that are a part of my life. My       coach, Iryna has helped me greatly. I will come to our           sessions with a struggle I am facing. Iryna will help me see     what is really going on and how I can move forward in         my life. My life has been so enriched thought being             coached by Iryna. In being so richly blessed by coaching     in has made me passionate about helping others in this         way as well. 

*  I could help you experience this too!
