I Was All Things To All People But Always Came Last

Before I started coaching, I was operating without any boundaries. I was all things to all people but always came last.  

I knew deep down that my boundaries needed shifting and one day realized that ‘time was up’ for all those who had walked over me, played on my good nature, taken the piss and basically used me.

I felt apprehensive before our first session, having never worked with a coach before and wasn’t really sure what would happen or what I would get out of it, but by the end, I knew that it was right and that coaching would help me make time for myself – something that I needed to do.  

Since our series, I have grown stronger and am more in touch with my ‘inner child’. I no longer feel like I have a train to catch and can do what I need to do for myself, as well as for everyone else. I now know that I am as important as everyone else.  

I have learnt to no longer let people take me for granted, and most importantly, I no longer feel responsible for other people’s feelings.  

My relationship boundaries have improved and I no longer feel that I have to tidy my husband’s dirty laundry. In fact, I am happy to step over it - something I never thought I could do! 

Lavinia’s coaching exceeded my expectations. She was amazing and pushed me to go deep and to places that I didn’t want to go.  

I thought Lavinia worked only with high achievers, but being an ordinary mum with three kids and a part-time role in the community, I think I have achieved as much as any high-flying mum. 

I think that the coaching was really good value and would recommend that women thinking about it just go for it!
