I Was Struggling With How To Regulate My Emotions

When we first connected, I was struggling with how to regulate my emotions when my young children were having meltdowns.

After a lot of inner child work and the implementation of strategies (including mindfulness, anger/stress management and self-acceptance), I am now more able to do this and have surprised myself by how confident I have become in such a short period of time!

Coaching taught me that self-growth is a process and I am continuing to address issues that we ‘unpacked’ during our sessions with the toolbox of strategies that Lavinia taught me (such as how to take care of my own needs as a busy mom).

My biggest learning was that in order to accept my children’s big emotions, I have to learn to love and accept myself first.

I was also surprised about the degree to which my menstrual cycle is connected to my emotions and energy levels, which was something I had never even thought about!

Coaching was such a life-saver and I miss our sessions already despite being on the fence about signing up for a while because it was a large investment.

The series was so individualized and Lavinia was such a wonderful, empathetic coach in whom I could trust. She really challenged my pre-existing views and helped me to grow.

In the end, it was absolutely good value and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
