Hi! I’m Valerie
I am so grateful you are here! I can’t wait to share with you my story of how I went from feeling stuck to having complete freedom. For so long I suffered from dreaming about what else was out there without doing anything about it. I just assumed this was the best I could do and I was suppose to stay at my job for the rest of my life. But something inside of me kept telling me there was something more.
My BIGGEST fear was staying at the same job (same school, same room, same grade) as a teacher my ENTIRE life (No offense to those who did).
I learned we must respect everyone’s model of the world so I hope my family gets it one of these days!
So you may ask, why would I abruptly quit my SECURE job of almost 14 years with a pretty darn good retirement waiting for me in another 30 years!? (Another 30 years, now that seems like forever!) With that perspective, I finally quit my job after many years of dreaming about it. I couldn’t believe it. I just knew it was time for something bigger. I had to follow my intuition and purpose in life. So I did!
THEN WHAT?!
I made a choice to not wait for my life to happen, instead I wanted to make things happen for myself. So I did. Soooooo I decided to move to SPAIN! Say what?! I packed two bags, took a chance on love, started my own coaching business and live happily ever after, isn’t that how life is suppose to go? (wah-wah) well…let me rephrase that, although the love part didn’t work out, everything else did. More so then I could have imagined! After Spain, I flew to Amsterdam, created a workshop, reflected, gain wisdom, and felt alive! I made new friends and most of all found my PURPOSE.
To get there, I had to follow my intuition to take a LEAP of FAITH to QUIT my JOB and create a new life for myself. I had felt STUCK for over TEN years! I knew deep down inside there was something much LARGER than what I knew.
I knew my purpose was to help more women break free from their 9-5 so they can transition out of a safe life, to a life filled with freedom and abundance!
I want TO EMPOWER as many WOMEN as possible to TRANSITION OUT OF THEIR REPETITIVE 9-5 lives and breakthrough old habits and limiting beliefs. Who wants to look at their watch every 10 minutes wishing the day was over? I sure didn’t! Yet I still stayed in my job for longer then I wanted to. I wish I had the confidence and action steps to do it. Everyone else knew I had the potential to take a risk except for me. After years of saying this was my last year, I knew I had to change my situation. I was the only one who could.
What’s exciting is TODAY you have a choice to CREATE your own life! Imagine that. Your biggest fears show you what you truly want. It just takes one decision to make it happen.
I believe in you!
With Gratitude,
Valerie

This is the my first featured blogger. Inspired by the "hidden gems" series I thought to expand the idea and implement it in a marketing concept being: I contact amazing bloggers (non-Steemians) who have great content to share and don't receive the recognition they deserve. With their permission I post one of their blogposts on Steemit (most don't understand it). I send them the link to their post, and surprise! They will fall in love with it, create an account and as a nice welcome to Steemit, I send them ALL the Steem Dollars earned, feature them as Steemians, tag their account and (hopefully) the word will spread quickly and global blogger communities will join & grow Steemit.
The featured blogger concept is approved and supported by Steemit's CEO @ned

Inspiring! Where are you based in Spain? Personnally, I have been living in Granada since 2012. And before that Canada, and before that Greece and bef... OK i'll stop there :) However in my case, my choice came up for a lack of opportunity in my home country and the sinking feeling of seeing all my friends living the European dream...
