Sharon’s Life Map


sharon_map_title3

1I grew up in Muskoka and spent a lot of my childhood writing in journals, self-reflecting in open fields, and developing quotes and life theories. Personal growth and development has always been a huge part of who I am. I just had no clue what to do with it at such a young age.

2

I left home at 16 years old and moved to the city. I craved a life with more freedom and opportunities. I felt suffocated and trapped in such a small town. I had big dreams from a very early age. My ultimate dream was to become an actress and attend Juilliard in NYC.

3

I enrolled in a performing arts high school in grade 12 in Toronto and majored in drama. I felt excited to be pursuing my passion.

4

After high school I took 2 years off and worked in retail while attending auditions. My acting dream fizzled out and I had no clue what I wanted to do next. During this time I also met my first long-term boyfriend.

5 I decided to go back to school and study Broadcast Journalism. A career I felt would feed my desire to be involved in media and entertainment.

6

At the end of my schooling my boyfriend introduced me to someone who worked at an entertainment show. Despite us breaking up not long after, this helped me secure a full-time position as an entertainment producer.

7

I worked at this show for almost 6 years.

 

8

During this time I met my 2nd long-term boyfriend.

9

Getting restless at my job I decided to switch to a different show with the same company that focused more on lifestyle content instead of celebrity gossip. 

10

While I was working on this show my boyfriend and I broke up. It was a huge wakeup call for me. It forced me to ask myself who I really was and what I really wanted in life.

11

I ended up moving into my own place after living with other people for 9 years. This gave me such an amazing feeling of independence and allowed me to get to know myself again.

 

12

I was starting to get into a rut at my job. I felt I wasn’t living up to my true potential. While going through this, I produced a show with coach Matthew Hussey who invited me to attend one of his coaching seminars.

 

13

I ended up having a huge epiphany moment when I walked into the seminar and knew that was exactly what I saw myself doing. I then started researching life coaching.

 

14

I started to become more aware of who I was, and it allowed me to let go and forgive myself for past mistakes.

 

15

I was fortunate to get a job working for Matthew Hussey as a coach at his retreats while still working my full-time job. I fell in love with coaching even more.

 

16I met another coach at his retreat who introduced me to a certified coaching program.

 

17

I enrolled in coaching school as soon as I returned from working my first retreat.

 

18During this time I also started embarking on my own personal development journey I dubbed as #theyearofsharon. Find out more by clicking here.

 

19

I graduated from coaching school and launched my business right away.

 

20

Not long after I launched my business, I left my full-time job as a T.V Producer to become a full time Life Coach.
