I hit the big 50 this year! Unless I live to 100, more than half of my life is behind me. One half a century is substantial. Midlife is a reflective place. It’s a time when individuals often reassess their accomplishments, priorities, and futures, seeking a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. This 360 view of my life led me to reach for more self-development and education. I chose coaching. My hope is that when my children all graduate from high school, and leave my home, this work will benefit others and satisfy me. In my journey of self-awareness, I have realized how beneficial and fun it is to get to know oneself better.

This was one of the reasons why, when I was introduced to C.O.R.E., I scooped it up. I took the test. My family took the test and I began to see myself and others through the lens of C.O.R.E. By understanding my C.O.R.E. temperament, I could see the reason behind many of my choices. I also saw my family in a new way — creating more compassion, empathy and appreciation for them.
