Hi, I’m Billie, a Human Systems Coach.
I’ve been unlocking human systems for over 20 years…
It’s amazing how my 15 year old self already knew what I’d need to remember in my 40’s.
Most days I can’t remember what I’ve had for breakfast, but for some reason this poem I wrote over 30 years ago has never left my memory. That tells me it was the voice of my soul.
I have seen and felt some things that you may never
You have seen and felt some things that I may never
So don’t judge me by your life
For I am not like you
Nor will I ever be like you
Because I am me.
Step into my inner world.
Throughout many years of intentional personal coaching for myself, I created an internal world that included a “Team Billie.” Team Billie brings me back to my soul. They reflect my authentic voice back to me. They are my crew.
One of the journal entries from “Team Billie” to me was titled "Grace to My Soul”.
“Grace to my soul that feels so pressured to utilize all of my potential and fears I’m totally wasting my life because I haven’t written a book, created a famous blog, or integrated my acting into motivational speaking keynotes for thousands of people.”
Those really were the standards I had self imposed as “Billie living up to her potential”. No wonder I was so depressed and anxious.
My response to my soul still applies today. I whispered to Little Bille, "if those are your dreams...then you can do it....but if those aren’t YOUR dreams...then kick them to the curb, walk away and never look back.”
Whew. How freeing.
I hope you noticed that I wrote my own permission slip that day. “Team Billie” wrote Little Billie a permission slip to lay it all down and walk away. A PERMISSION SLIP TO BE DONE WITH THE STRUGGLE.
It was freeing to know I could choose to be done.
I went on to soothe my soul with “….it’s ok if the greatest amount of potential you can live up to today is not checking out of life. Maybe all you’ve got today is getting dressed and going outside for 10 minutes. It’s OK. Grace to my soul. It will all still be there tomorrow. For now....it’s OK. Exactly the way it is right now. It’s OK. Grace to my soul.”
I am free to be exactly where I am, in any given moment.
YOU ARE FREE TO BE.
Do you want to take back your personal power and eliminate all interferences?
Give yourself permission to be done.
Embrace what is trying to emerge.
Now that you’ve read my journal…

» I have dealt with health issues for over a decade now and I understand how it feels to be limited. To know what you’re capable of, yet having to reframe your perspective to work with what you’ve got.
» I am a conference speaker and have been featured on several podcasts for my work with conquering Imposter Syndrome- back before anyone even knew what that was.
» I am a Certified Agile Facilitator and Coach.
