Ep. # 138 Choosing to Be Happy - Janet Quinlan, Catholic Life Coach

Like What You Hear and Want More?

Sign up to join the waitlist for Reimagine Motherhood, my monthly coaching program. I give practical tools and help you make mindset shifts to create the marriage, motherhood, and home you’ve always wanted.

A few years ago, I felt that I wanted to help women who were in the thick of it gain perspective in their journey of motherhood.
- Every stage of motherhood has its challenges.
I became certified through the Life Coach School in coaching so that I could help women, so that I could become, not only a mentor, but also an objective observer and one who can challenge and offer different perspectives.
I offer either one-on-one coaching sessions or a monthly mentoring program called Reimagine Motherhood.

In my individual coaching sessions, I am able to focus on you, where you need help and where you can shift your mindset, which in turn, shifts your feelings toward your circumstances.
My job as a coach is to demonstrate that you can find evidence for your negative feelings and you can choose to indulge in those feelings, but do you really want to? Because there is a better way, and I can teach you how to check your mindset and shift it when you need to and when you want to.

In the Reimagine Motherhood Membership, we do two things:
- First, we have a monthly theme/topic.
  - We have done marriage and intimacy, parent, creating a home management system, dealing with difficult people, and creating a family culture.
- Secondly, we have three hour-long workshops a month on the topic, which include a 15-20 minute talk and then we open up to a Q & A session and group coaching.
I also give practical tips and tools to really make progress on the particular monthly topic.

What are you doing to choose to be happy?
We tend to sink into our life, and we seldom put our lips above water to breathe. We take what we have and do not challenge ourselves to be better.
This is what I want to offer with coaching, whether individually or through the membership – coaching you to help you chose to be happy.
The better we are at what we do brings us great joy, self-confidence, self-esteem, and satisfaction.

Do you feel like you no longer know your worth because you are constantly attending to other people’s needs?
- I am going to challenge you that that is your decision – it is your decision to die inside.
- God gave you your children so that you can grow, so that you can become more than you ever thought you could become, and so that you can have the virtues you never imagined you could have.
You can have the joy and happiness of a beautiful marriage, beautiful children, and a family life that makes you want to get up in the morning.
It is on you to choose to be happy, and coaching is a great way to help that happen.
- As a coach, I will help you see where your unhappiness lies and how to overcome it and to challenge yourself in different aspects of your life.
Chose to be happy, find what will help you create the mindset you need to implement the tools and routines necessary to help you find joy in your motherhood.
