I’m here to help people get more out of life and learn how to grow into the people they want to be.
My name is Elizabeth and I’m a mom, author, and life/health coach. I’ve been a business owner and entrepreneur since I was 17, and I write, record, and produce music in my spare time. We live by the ocean in White Rock, BC, Canada.
Ever since I was a teen, I have pursued working for myself. I’ve had a few other jobs here and there over the years, but ultimately the goal has always been to work for myself. I’ve run different businesses, and 7 years ago got thrown into the corporate world when I became a single mom with 2 kids and needed not to have the stress of working for myself, so I went back to work full time.
The last 7 years, I have struggled greatly, feeling like I’ve not been myself. Feeling like I’m trying to fit into a mold that isn’t me. I was successful at my job as a Sales Manager, and did enjoy certain aspects of it, but I’ve felt like I’ve been settling and the only way I can describe it is like I was on the run. Working full time, having my kids in before and after school care was tough. Getting up, rushing to get everyone ready and out the door, drop them off at school, rush to work, work all day, rush back to get the kids between 5-6pm, get home, rush to make dinner, and have an 60-90 minutes after dinner before it’s time to get them into bed. The next day, wake up and do it all over again. Sound familiar? My life has been rushed, I’ve lost precious time with my children having other people spend more time with them than I do, and I’ve just felt unsettled for the last 7 years.
In 2020, I decided it was time. I had enough of the corporate world and trying to be someone that doesn’t make me happy, and quit my job at the time without having anything lined up. My goal was to go back to doing what I want to do. I don’t want to work for someone else again. I want to be present, spend time with my kids, and work from home. This time pursue it as a business instead of a hobby.
I spent several days trying to figure out what I was going to do, once I decided it would be online, and after writing down an entire page of ideas, I realized the thing I am passionate about the most is helping people. It’s always been what drives me in life. I don’t consider myself an expert by any means, and I am still learning on a daily basis how to be the best version of myself, but I truly believe with all that I have been though, there is a lot that I can help people with. People have been coming to me for advice since I was a teen, and it never occurred to me to do this on a larger scale until now.
Whether it’s getting out of bad situations, learning how to recognize them, being healthy and what that means, learning how to trust, or how to choose healthy relationships and keeping your own integrity as you face difficult times, I want to help you. My passion is for people and my core values are honesty, integrity, and loving people. No matter what I do, those are at the forefront.
I hope you take something away from this site. My business is called Making Lemonade, to reference taking whatever lemons that life throws at you and making lemonade with them. That something good can always come out of every situation. That’s pretty much what life is. 🙂
Some updated and exciting news!!!!…. Ready for it? I’m writing a book! Look for “Making Lemonade: Being Healthy and Moving Forward” to come out late 2024. I will update as it gets closer to then.
If you’re ready to jump in with one on one life-coaching, health-coaching, and see what the options are, head over to my consulting page. I work with both individuals and businesses, having come from the corporate world myself, offering support from multiple perspectives.
Thanks for stopping by!
