How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this captivating episode of the Good Listening To Show, Chris Grimes welcomes Mary Van Ica, a life coach and founder of 'Be By Your Side Coaching.' Broadcasting from the picturesque Forest of Dean, Mary shares her fascinating founder story and introduces her new programme, 'The Me I Forgot.' This initiative is aimed at women in their mid-40s to 60s who feel they've lost themselves amidst career or caregiving responsibilities.
With humour and heart, Mary recounts her own experiences of disempowerment and the triggers that led her to this path, including a letter from her pension company and the emotional journey of watching her children leave home. Mary's programme is more than just a course; it's a journey of rediscovery for women who need to reconnect with their passions and envision a fulfilling future.
Her approach is deeply personal and reflective, drawing from her own life lessons and the shared experiences of other women. As Chris guides the conversation, listeners are treated to delightful storytelling metaphors, a juicy storytelling exercise called 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and even a cheeky bit of Shakespeare. Mary's story is one of resilience and transformation, offering hope and guidance to those at a crossroads in life.
Her passion for helping others shines through as she talks about the importance of purpose and self-discovery. If you're curious about how women can reclaim their identity and thrive in later life, this episode is a must-listen. So, are you ready to explore what's next in your life? Let Mary Van Ica's inspiring journey be your guide.
