Do you feel rested and recharged after the holiday weekend, or unsettled and dysregulated from the change in routine, travel and more family time than usual?

If you need a little extra support this week, I’m hosting a free Safety in Transitions Workshop this Wednesday Dec. 4 at 2pm PST / 5pm EST.

This is the third time I’ve held this workshop and each time folx walk away with more ease and tools they can put into action immediately. Past participants have said:

❣️ The space felt like a warm hug.
❣️ The flowing progression of meditation, learning, trying, sharing was gentle.
❣️ A framework I can use immediately! The framework for assessing how safety is showing up for me in different contexts and through different lenses was simple enough to imagine using right away and feels both really powerful for reflection and practical for aligned action.

If you’re feeling drained, unsettled in transition or seeking community to support you I’d love to see you at the workshop. All are welcome.

What participants had to say about the last safety in transition workshop:

💞 It was truly lovely. An oasis in a difficult week.
💞 The workshop was 🔥
💞 Helped me focus on what self-compassion and safety feels like in my body and identify where I could focus and give myself additional love
💞 The session was great and aligned perfectly with stuff I’m focusing on at work

Why did they have these takeaways? Because we teach a practice that is experiential, embodied and actionable.

Join me this Wednesday October 23rd to learn tools to cultivate deep inner safety in a constantly changing world and be in community with others who are also navigating these changes.

I follow a simple roadmap for growing anything from infancy to a more mature state:

1️⃣ Set my intention for what I want to accomplish
2️⃣ Take aligned action
3️⃣ Watch the momentum build

For the last four years I’ve been in the intention and action phases of so many important areas of my life.

🐶 Raising a well behaved puppy I can bring anywhere
🙋🏻‍♀️ Rediscovering my authentic self post-burnout
🌱 Building my business in a way that energizes me

I’m starting to see these areas shift into the building momentum phase and it feels like a homecoming. I feel grounded, joyful and grateful for the life I’ve intentionally created.

🐶 Our dog is maturing into a very good boy
🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve never felt more authentic and aligned
🌱 I’m attracting new clients, partners and opportunities in my business

What areas of your life are you seeing momentum build? When you acknowledge this momentum, what feelings does this evoke, if any?

I’d love to hear and celebrate your momentum in the comments!

How do you feel safe in times of transition?

Lately it feels like the world is in constant transition - natural disasters, elections, conflicts, economic pressures.

It’s completely normal when things are changing all around us to feel distracted, overwhelmed and unsafe.

However, you don’t have to navigate these changes alone.

Join me and @healeydelight , educator and somatic practitioner, for a workshop on October 23rd to learn tools to cultivate deep inner safety in a constantly changing world and be in community with others who are also navigating these changes.

If you joined us last time, we know you will get even more out of this the second time around. All are welcome!

Welcoming autumn on today’s #equinox by spending time in the garden harvesting sunflower seeds.

I spent so much time this spring and summer planting, watering, caring for and enjoying the blossoms of these flowers. I experienced an abundance of joy and groundedness throughout every stage of growth.

I can’t help but see my resemblance in these flowers as I too have grown through the seasons. A result of careful handling, exploring the edges of my container, taking up more space each day and tending to my needs and desires.

I continue the cycle by harvesting gratitude for these gifts and reflecting on what I may want to do again or differently next year (inside and outside the garden).

How are you spending the first day of #autumn and what will you do to ensure your light continues to shine through the winter?

Two years ago today I resigned from a well paying, stable dream role because it felt out of alignment with what I valued. It was the best decision I ever made.

When I left, people asked me how I felt. The best word I could find to describe it was freedom.

🎯 Freedom to trust my intuition that something more aligned was out there.
🚀 Freedom to define my own version of professional success and achievement.
🛣️ Freedom to take a different career path than what was laid out for me.
🥰 Freedom to believe in my dreams and find a role and peers that allowed me to be fully myself.

Two years later, I’m proud to have prioritized and maintained that feeling of freedom in my personal and professional life. You won’t be surprised to learn that it feels AMAZING and I am the healthiest, happiest and most fulfilled I’ve ever been!

On the other side of this massive decision to align my life to what drives me, I’m living proof that the reward outweighs the risk when you honor your values and pursue the life you desire.

If you’re thinking about making a similar change, this is your sign to trust yourself and pursue the dream your heart is telling you is possible. Because it is possible, and it is better than you can even imagine.

Feeling safe is core to our wellbeing. But in stressful circumstances, such as experiencing change, safety can be the first thing that feels out of alignment.

Change is always happening around us, so how can we maintain a sense of safety in times of transition? When exploring ways that I feel safe, I was surprised to discover that feelings of safety come easily to me when considering external factors. I feel safe when I hold hands with my partner, cuddle my dog and when I’m surrounded by chosen family.

But recalling times where I feel safe on my own, without any external factors, I found much more difficult to conjure.

With intention and consistency, I discovered ways that I feel safety solely within myself: when I’m being playful and using my imagination 🤸‍♀️ , when I believe in myself 💪, when I write/share from my heart ❤️, when I reset my nervous system with a walk in nature and no screens 🍃 and when I’m in awe of my surroundings, present and aware of all my senses 👁.

What are ways that you feel inner safety? I’d love to hear in the comments!

Hi, I’m Drew and I’m so glad you’re here! I thought I’d reintroduce myself, if you’re new here welcome 👋🏻. I help people at a crossroads develop a strong internal compass so they can live a more aligned and authentic life, but don’t want to do it alone.

Much like the people I serve, I didn’t always lead a life that aligned with my dreams and values. Before starting Chosen Directions I was living life on autopilot, repeating patterns of behavior that left me feeling drained. I was in a long-term relationship where I felt lonely. I was climbing the corporate ladder and beginning to burn out at work. I longed for my family that were 3,000 miles away.

I knew I needed to make a change but didn’t know how.

Supported by others and my dedication to self-development, I discovered my chosen values… and that unlocked EVERYTHING.

With my values as my guide, I had the roadmap to take steps towards the life I was always meant to be living:

💞 I left my relationship.
📦 I moved across the country to be closer to family.
🏡 I found my dream home.
😍 I met my fiancé.
💼 I quit my job and began consulting.
🌟 I became a certified coach.
🚀 I launched a business to help others transform their lives into ones that feel aligned to what they value most.

Live Authentically is my 12-week transformational coaching experience for those who want to design and embody the life they’ve been dreaming about. In the program I teach the same proven framework that guided me to where I am today that starts with exploring who you are, discovering your chosen values and pursuing an aligned life.

I have the privilege of witnessing my clients access the clarity and confidence to also leave misaligned relationships, pursue fulfilling careers post-burnout, and set achievable goals to follow their dreams.

I also leverage my expertise through freelance impact consulting, where I support purpose-driven organizations with project management, strategic initiatives, communications and operations to create an impact on humanity and the planet.

I’m a dog mom to a two-year old boxer dog named Carl Dean, a proud aunt to four nieces and nephews and reside in Nashville, Tennessee.

The advice “don’t burn bridges” comprises your authenticity and keeps you in a scarcity mindset. Burning a bridge may be the exact thing you should do to honor your values and live expansively.

Because on the other side of a burnt bridge is alignment.

You’ll know when it’s time to burn a bridge. This unlinking from another person, job or situation won’t feel wrong. It will feel like freedom and peace.

It takes understanding yourself to speak up when you’re being mistreated, undervalued or overlooked. If you know exactly who you are and what you value, you’ll know exactly when to burn bridges.

When what’s on the other side of the bridge is out of alignment, it’s time to burn bridges to invite in abundance and new beginnings.

If you want to explore what you value and what living in alignment looks like for you, enrollment is open until 8/28 (or until capacity is reached) for Live Authentically, my 12-week transformational group* coaching experience for those who want to align their life to what they value most.

Perfect for people at a crossroads who want to feel confident, clear and safe to navigate their next steps…and know when to burn bridges.

*I also offer a VIP program with 1:1 support if a group experience isn’t your thing!

Taking a moment out of my busy week to pause and celebrate the milestones I feel proud of. Taking my own advice, it makes me feel good to dwell on the good stuff! What are you proud of and celebrating? I’d love to hear in the comments! Thank you for the inspiration @hanniethegreenie 💕

Do you share with friends your challenges and experiences with feeling safe, or lack there of? I hadn’t until recently and it was game changing.

It is such a gift to acknowledge our shared experiences when cultivating feelings of safety, and to witness the transformation when we explore these feelings within ourselves and with the support of others.

I just co-hosted the most fulfilling workshop with @healeydelight exploring how to cultivate feelings of inner safety during times of transition. 💌 DM me if you want to learn more or share how you feel safe during life transitions!

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to feel safe in times of transition.

This led me to explore ways that I already feel safe today.

What I’ve discovered is feelings of safety come easily to me when considering external factors. I feel safe when I hold hands with my partner, cuddle my dog and when I’m surrounded by chosen family.

But recalling times where I feel safe on my own, without any external factors, I find much more difficult to conjure. How do I cultivate safety solely within myself?

I shared this insight with other women and found that I was not alone. At some point in our lives our safety was compromised yet we coped, continued on and accepted this as our feminine reality.

Feeling safe in our bodies, minds and emotions is no longer part of our factory settings. But I believe we can change that.

With intention and consistency, I’ve discovered ways that I feel safety within myself: when I’m being playful and using my imagination, when I believe in myself and when I write/share from my heart.

If you’d like to explore this topic with other women and embody deep inner and collective safety, I’m excited to co-host a 75-minute workshop with Kimberley Healey to help you do that.

Enrollment is open!

Live Authentically is my transformational group coaching program for people at a crossroads who want to feel confident, clear and safe to navigate their next steps.

This is a program where clients develop a strong internal compass so they can make decisions with ease, nurture values-aligned relationships, pursue a fulfilling career and live more authentically.

I teach a proven framework to explore who you are, discover your authentic self and pursue an aligned life. I’ve witnessed my clients access the strength and clarity to leave misaligned relationships, rebuild careers post-burnout, become new parents and set achievable goals to follow their dreams.

I offer this in community with others experiencing this “what’s next?” moment because it supports us to grow alongside each other, holds us accountable and allows us to consider different perspectives. The group is capped at five people to keep it intimate and supportive.

During our 12-weeks together you’ll go from…
📍Pursuing goals that are habitual or important to others to knowing exactly what you want to achieve and why.
💜 Feeling disengaged in your relationships and lacking fulfillment from people that are closest to you to feeling energized and authentic in your relationships.
🔋 Putting on an act at work to be accepted and fit in, and/or drained by the work you do to being your authentic self at work and fulfilled by your career.

Because it’s possible - and rewarding - to live your most fulfilled life. And that starts with living in alignment with your authentic self.

The program starts September 7th and enrollment is now open! Join us. Send me a DM to learn more 💌

I’m Drew, founder of Chosen Directions and a certified holistic coach helping people at a crossroads develop a strong internal compass so they can live a more aligned and #authentic life, but don’t want to do it alone.

Relationships, romantic or otherwise, should feel energizing! If yours don’t, they may be out of alignment with what you value most. This could feel like a lack of fulfillment or feeling disengaged from the people that you’re closest to, a neutral feeling about how your closest relationships make you feel or that there’s room for clearer communication and better alignment so you feel heard and seen.

If any of these feelings resonate, there may be an opportunity to improve your relationships so they energize rather than drain you! That could look like…

🥰 Being clear about what’s important to you and how you want to be treated
👯‍♀️ Aligning youself with people who honor and support your authentic self
📣 Communicating directly when your needs or feelings are not being cared for
🔕 Removing yourself from situations or people that continuously compromise your authenticity

What discoveries come through for you as you reflect on these steps? What actions would you like to take from these discoveries, if anything? I’d love to hear in the comments!

How familiar are you with values? Values are the principles that govern how you want to act. They are often described as your personal compass because they help you choose the direction in which you want to move through life and keep you on track as you go.

They may sound like a foreign concept, but everyone has them. They’ve been passed on through family, friends, jobs, religion, school, etc.

If you’ve ever felt like you were running on autopilot or living your life according to someone else’s plans, you might have unclear or inherited values.

I’m curious, where do you think you land? Take the quiz to see if you have clear, chosen values vs. unclear or inherited values and learn how to strengthen your clarity so you can live more authentically.

We’re almost halfway through 2024, how satisfied are you with your year so far and what are you prioritizing for the second half?

For me, I feel like my personal life is humming and I’m excited to continue to prioritize health and wellness in the second half of the year by maintaining my daily walks, conscious eating and meditation. I’m looking forward to growing my professional relationships, specifically looking to collaborate and connect (maybe even co-host an event?!) with other coaches and aligned organizations. Career related, I have a goal of writing for one hour a day to strengthen this muscle, while also working towards a long-form narrative version of my How to Live Authentically workbook.

I find it helpful to check in periodically to increase my self-awareness and set clear goals to help keep me on track. If you’re interested in a mid-year reflection too, I’m hosting a free event on June 14th to explore what is fulfilling and what goals can help you feel more energized and aligned.

I didn’t always love my job. It took over a decade of working and then burning out to discover what my ideal career could look like and take steps to make it a reality.

I pursued an aligned career by…

❤️ Asking myself what I love to do and what I’m great at
📝 Defining what’s important to me in a career (aligned people, learning, purpose-driven, work/life balance, etc.)
🔍 Identifying careers/roles that met these parameters
🌻 Talking to others who worked in those careers and roles to validate my assumptions
🦋 Following my intuition and taking the leap to leave my job and change careers before I felt “ready”

How have you pursued an aligned career, or if you haven’t yet, what’s standing in your way? I’d love to hear in the comments 💜

Are you experiencing or anticipating a transition and questioning what to do next? Maybe you’re…

🥵 Leaving a job burnt out, swearing off climbing the corporate ladder
💔 Ending a relationship and feel like you’re losing a piece of your identity
🌎 Contemplating a big move and not sure how to start all over
⭐ Searching for a new job that feels energizing and authentic to you

When you’re at a pivotal moment like this, having your own internal guidance system makes deciding which direction to take clearer and easier.

Without a clear understanding of what’s important to you and what you aspire towards, it’s human nature to get swept up chasing someone else’s dreams, living on autopilot and pursuing goals that leave you feeling drained.

I use my chosen values as guides to show up intentionally in times of transition, allowing me to make informed choices based on what I value most.

How do you make decisions in times of transition? Let me know in the comments!

Raise your hand if your mind is running the show? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’d raise a third hand if I had it. But, did you know there are actually four levels of holistic well-being – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual?

If you’re like me and feel like your mind is driving the ship, your mental level is likely your strongest. My mind loves to try and control everything – outcomes, people’s perception of me, getting “it” right – and striving for perfectionism.

This mental strength had served me in past professional roles, until it affected my health and led to burnout. With this acknowledgement, I’ve been on a journey from my head (mental) to my heart (emotional and spiritual). In order to be more balanced, I need to embrace who I am – compassionate, collaborative, curious and even a little silly – and let go of the need to control, perform and prove myself.

A few ways I honor my emotional and spiritual levels are by being present, feeling my emotions and making space for the answers to reveal themselves. For me that looks like:

💨Taking a few deep breaths
🐶Playing fetch with my dog
🌿Going for a walk in nature
🧘🏻‍♀️Practicing yin yoga and meditation
💜Thinking of the people I love and how they make me feel

So perhaps you are wanting to explore your well-being across the four levels, and understand what levels are feeling strong and explore levels that could use more focus? Ask yourself the following questions:

💪What level – mental, physical, emotional, spiritual – feels like your strength?
🔎What level can use more focus to help you move from coping to healing?
🌷What can you do in the next week to honor your level(s), especially the one(s) that can use more focus?
👯Who can you share this intention with to support you and help you stay accountable?

As you become more aware and intentional of your holistic well-being, what insights and discoveries do you experience, if any? I’d love to hear in the comments!

I created a quiz to help you discover how clear your values are (link in bio)!

How familiar are you with values? Values are the principles that govern how you want to act. They are often described as your personal compass because they help you choose the direction in which you want to move through life and keep you on track as you go.

They may sound like a foreign concept, but everyone has them. They’ve been passed on through family, friends, jobs, religion, school, etc.

If you’ve ever felt like you were running on autopilot or living your life according to someone else’s plans, you might have unclear or inherited values. This was me before I explored my chosen values and got clear on how to show up authentically from that point forward. Since then I moved across the country, left a long-term relationship, left a job, improved my mental health, pursued a more aligned career, got engaged, started a business, and the list goes on.

I’m curious, where do you think you land? Take the quiz to see if you have clear, chosen values vs. unclear or inherited values and learn how to strengthen your clarity so you can live more authentically.

Mindset can be the difference between resistance and growth. Instead of fearing change, what if you could accept it as a necessary step that leads you to your beautiful new beginning?

This is the number one reason my clients decide to work with me. They are experiencing or anticipating a transition and are ready for the opportunity and responsibility to face this change with intention and even excitement.

What does it feel like to try on this mindset shift, and what will you do with this shift in perspective, if anything? I’d love to hear in the comments or via DM ✉️
