Meet Your Coach
Hey there, I’m Vivian 👋🏼 (she/her)
When I contemplate the change I want to see in the world, in my and your life, I want us to have such deep love, admiration, and appreciation for ourselves (in a non-cocky, non-narcissistic way).
Society, our upbringing, and our negative conditioning have left many of us feeling unworthy, self-critical, and fearful. This low self-worth can lead to:
Judging others (in addition to ourselves) harshly
Collecting achievements that never lead to joy or happiness
Filling up your days with tasks, attaching worthiness to productivity
Seeking love by overgiving in all the wrong places (and often, at the cost of yourself)
Ruminating on painful emotions
This leads to a negative impact on ourselves, our relationships, our careers, and our well-being. It doesn’t have to be this way!
When it comes to my personal growth, I seeked out ways to learn how to overcome the above. This was important to me because I had symptoms in my body (years later, I learned these were symptoms of depression and anxiety), that would lead to mild and major flare-ups in my autoimmune conditions. I knew continuing to live this way was not sustainable.
My path to the PQ® program and PQ® coaching was not linear. It’s something I wish I had in high school to set a strong foundation for the rest of my life. But, I believe it came to me when it needed to. My non-linear path was meant to be this way SO I could realize just how powerful of a program it is.
