You don't mind hard work. It's that life has started to feel like it.
Live Full is for men ready to swap a life that feels like hard work for one full of fun, freedom and fulfilment.
Sound familiar?
That to-do list is running before your feet hit the floor.
You're checking emails on the toilet.
Lying awake going over tomorrow's project. Thinking what can I cut out to get this done?
You spent half of last holiday at work, even when you weren't in the office.
Sunday evening arrives and something in you sinks...And the answer always seems to be more.
Work harder. Earn more. Get one step further. Then it'll ease off?
It doesn't, does it.
Here's the thing. That feeling isn't a sign you're not working hard enough. It's exactly why you're doing so much.
Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but more won't fix it. More of the more just keeps you running the rat-race.
The way you see life right now isn't the truth. It's just where you're standing. And where you're standing can change!
Where Live Full came from
Years ago,I was a newly trained counsellor. I’d spent the last few years in my own therapy and so I thought I knew myself pretty well. I was working in a specialist school, as the therapeutic lead and parenting my four year old daughter whilst trying to build a business. You could say I was busy....
Torn between responsibilities. I was feeling exhausted and close to burnout (something I'd experienced in the past). I was not enjoying most of my time, although the people around me wouldn't have known that, I was good at keeping it to myself.
With a big appetite to learn I was on a coaching workshop called 'Beyond Mindfulness', and about ten minutes towards the end, we were asked to finish a simple sentence: Life is... without thinking I wrote 'Life is hard work'. That's when I saw it!
I wasn't seeing life as it was, I was seeing it through a belief, a story. One I had carried for years without noticing. And if I could change this belief, well then I could change everything. So I went all in, I spent the next 18 months training and learning all about transformative coaching, exploring not only how I could implement this into my therapeutic work but rewriting my own story.
My answer to the statement Life is... Now? Life is full of fun, freedom and fulfilment.
That's what it means to Live Full. And it's what I want for you too.
What's possible
This isn't about working less and definitely not about caring less. It's about enjoying your own life, fully. So at the end of the day or week you can reflect back and say you enjoyed the week, that it was worthwhile and rich with experiences that it was what you wanted to do. Here's what that's looked like for men I've worked with:
He works fewer hours, yet his business is doing better than ever. Because he's full up now, not running on empty.
He finally took the trip of a lifetime, the one he'd been putting off since his teens.
He came in to sort one thing out, and left with a life that's actually made for him.
He protects genuine time for his partner and the gym, and doesn't feel guilty about it.
The most common thing men tell me is that they can't believe they used to think like that. Many men tell me the shift came quicker than they expected.
The Live Full Partnership
We take six weeks to create a life that feels full, not just busy.
This is done through one to one work using the depth of counselling and the forward momentum of coaching to help you discover what fun, freedom and fulfilmentlook like to you. We challenge the old, unhelpful patterns of not enough, try harder, be perfect... And we create a new story, a new belief.
We get to the root of why life feels like hard work, following one rule: we only go back to your past if it’s relevance in the present. This follows a solution-focused principle: A solution is rarely found in the problem. Once we have the root belief then we get to the good bit, building something new, building a life you love.
How it works
-
Six weekly sessions, 60 minutes each.
-
At a day and time that works for you (Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday)
-
Work online over WhatsApp video, walk and talk outdoors near Bere Regis and Wareham, or in person in Parkstone, Poole (limited availability).
-
Momentum is our friend so you can message or voice note me between sessions.
Investment:
£98 a week. I take on a handful of new men each month, so I can give each one of them my full attention. Many men choose to carry on after their six sessions, to explore deeper or create more for themselves. If you do, your weekly payment simply carries on and we review together every six sessions. You won't need to stay. You may just decide you want to.
"But I don't need therapy"
I hear this a lot. It usually means one of three things:
1. "I don't have a problem." You don't need one. This isn't about fixing you. It's about seeing what you can't see on your own.
2. "I don't want to unpack all that." We go at your pace. Some men want to go deep into their past. Some don't. Either way, we focus on what will actually change your life.
3. "Asking for help means I've failed." The best athletes have coaches. Asking for help isn't weakness. It's what men who want more from life do.
What you get is real time and attention with someone who has no personal agenda, a genuine interest in you and your future whilst needing nothing from you, other than for you to show up as yourself. That's rare, but more importantly it's this space that creates the possibility for things to change.
The Live Full Blueprint
Investing in good counselling or coaching comes at a cost, I know that and there have been times in my life where that was not an option. I have helped people from all walks of life to feel more free than they believe possible, to experience joy and fun again after years of misery and helped hundreds find purpose and fulfilmentin life. Throughout all those conversations a pattern became clearer and clearer that we create life off of three fundamentals: fun, freedom and fulfilment. And for those who like to work at their own pace or like structure the blueprint offers exactly that.
Through years of experience and months of work I have created The Live Full Blueprint. The Blueprint is, well, a blueprint. It gives you everything you need to build a life you love. The Blueprint works through six stages as a self coaching guide. Everything I’ve learnt in coaching, counselling and life, condensed into one place.
