Hi, I'm Mike.
Here's a little bit about me...
I know firsthand what it means to try to check all the boxes in life and still feel empty and dissatisfied. My story is about facing insecurity, going after my dreams, and then helping others do the same.
When I was younger, I struggled to fit in. I always felt like I was too sensitive and too awkward, so I learned to fake feeling confident. If you looked at me, you’d guess I was this happy successful guy. I did well in school, I had friends, but on the inside I still felt lost.
When I went to college, I majored in accounting because it seemed practical and smart, but I actually didn’t know who I was. I was hoping by choosing something normal, I’d feel more normal. But it didn’t work. I still felt incredibly insecure and so I drank and did drugs so I could hide my fear even more.
After college I got a job at a big accounting firm and finally worked myself into a management role. I was making great money, but even though I had done all the right things, I still felt like a fraud. I was so tired and burnt out that I decided to take a vacation to Thailand, and by giving myself a moment of space to be still, I realized I needed to radically change my life.
I randomly searched ‘life coaches in my area’ one day and met an incredible coach that started helping me unravel my long held beliefs. I started to learn who I truly was and reconnect with the dreams I had when I was a kid. I took more time off from my accounting job, made space for more fun, and improved my relationship with my wife.
My life started to feel more spacious and truly fulfilling and when I looked around, I saw so many other people who looked just as stuck as I had been. So I went part time as an accountant and started coaching people who, even though they have regular jobs, want something more from life. I help them free themselves from the ways of thinking that keep them trapped in their ‘good lives,’ and I help them reconnect with their dreams, have better relationships, and finally take the risks they had long dreamt about taking.
If you feel called to something more in your life; if you are waking up to what could be possible, but feel trapped in the corporate 9-5…I get it, and I’ve been there. It doesn’t have to stay that way. Your dreams are possible. Let’s talk.
