Transform: Program to Meet/Exceed All Other Programs' Promises
Oh, my. Many programs claim life-changing aspects. I've been through so many promising positive impact on me, my daily challenges, how to be in the world, how to be with others and how to be successful. Awaken Your Life (AYL) provided me all this and more. The shifts have had a holistic impact on me. The community of staff, fellow students, program alumni and curricula immediately provided me with a solid foundation to thrive! The team took my hand on the first day through the very last day of the formal program. I felt so supported, heard, considered and simply - that I really mattered. As corny as it may sound, I felt and was loved. I still am . . . the program continues as an alum. This AYL 12-week course gave me an intuitive process to uncover who I am, what I want, how to be, how to improve me and how to best be with others. This was all on the path to my goals: great life successes and most importantly, life balance. As a lifelong learner and new alum, I'm already returning to the rich course material. It's given me myriad ways - in practices, processes and models - to get focused, calm my mind chatter, to relax, to find clarity, determine my way forward and swiftly address and resolve problems with family and colleagues. The beauty of this program, there's so much here that IT IS a one size fits all. Many women come in with a desire for more balance with career while balancing their marriage and family. Others are questioning whether to stay in their current role. I'm on a hiatus from working and entered to get to know myself more deeply and reconnect with my birth family. I've already succeeded. And it's showing in how I feel every day and my family's responses with me. Again, as corny as it may sound - I feel reborn. I'm energized, have found great coping skills, rebound more quickly and am so excited about today and my future. Thank you Julie and team! You have changed my life extraordinarily.
