1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Tell me how you got started.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Good question.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
How did I get started?

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Well, the relationship coaching material that I can focus on right now,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I really got started with in the past couple of years on the back of doing executive coaching.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
So, and that was on the back of working in behavioral science,

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and that was on the back of doing a master's degree in gender dynamics,

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and really interested in the psychology of people.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
And that was on the back of doing my first coaching qualification like 17 years ago.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So I've kind of been in this space for a long time.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And yeah, and I kind of academically and professionally have always been interested in psychology,

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,000
in high performance, in helping people heal and overcome their issues and feel better and blah, blah, blah.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,000
On a personal level, my own journey has been one of doing a lot of therapy and retreats

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
and kind of being in that personal development space.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
But then finding myself in my early 30s, calling off my first engagement

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and realizing that actually didn't matter how much I had done of that personal development.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
I still didn't know how to have a healthy relationship.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And once I put the journey together, I realized, okay, this is something I really should work on.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Meditating isn't going to fix it.

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And when I began to educate myself on how to have a healthy relationship,

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
and I really began to understand the psychology of relating and attachment theory

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
and call wounds and all of this stuff, it opened up a whole new world to me.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I then met my now husband.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And as I was doing the executive coaching, I began to kind of explore

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
where the stress and anxiety for my clients was coming from.

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
And I realized that they were struggling with their relationships too.

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And that's ultimately what led me to kind of putting two and two together

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
and realizing, well, this is something I'm really passionate about,

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
something I've done a lot of work in.

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
This is what people are struggling with.

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:21,000
So hence I kind of became the relationship case, and here I am.
