Featured on The Best Life Coaches In Ireland list!
Like many of you, I worked a dead-end job for fifteen years. Knowing I had unfulfilled potential made the cycle unbearable. An invisible ceiling of self-doubt held me back from getting rich, starting a business, and putting that first foot forward.
My relationships were superficial and lacked emotional investment. I couldn’t effectively communicate my needs and was in no fit state to meet theirs.
I had a €500-weekend drug dependency, which almost cost me my life from a four-storey fall abroad. My diet, sleep, and fitness all fell by the wayside while I pursued the distraction of a new high.
Today, I coach clients all across the world. I’ve made helping them break that same cycle by manifesting their potential into a living!
Found the woman of my dreams 15 years ago and have the best relationship! Dealing with my demons allowed me to earn the woman of my dreams, who has championed me and my career for the last 15 years.
