PERSONAL GROWTH MENTOR

finding the answers begins with YOU

I do not have the answers you seek - but you do! You have a sense that something isn't working within you or in your life and you are seeking. See how magnificent you are - you've already begun the work! No matter if you desire to be the best version of yourself or there's something deeper you long to explore, I promise you, the answers are within you.

It's helpful to seek clarity through guidance. However, it's important this guidance helps us discover the answers for ourselves. Without personal discovery we cannot achieve the peace and strength our inner knowing provides.

There are a gazillion self-help books on the market and they are filled with great advice but what will work for you? Add to that social, political, and religious influences and we can easily lose years of our lives lost in struggle and confusion.

For the past 4 decades I've navigated the world of personal growth. I've explored everything from religious practices to 'woo-woo' magical thinking to the anatomical functions of the brain, and everything in between. One of the nuggets of wisdom I took away is, there is no such thing as one size fits all in personal growth. Additionally, what we need during each phase of our growth will evolve. What worked for us in one phase, may not work in the next. This doesn't mean something is wrong. It is the beautiful and natural unfolding of our personal journey.

Through a personal growth mentorship will be dipping into the wisdom I have gained on my triumphant journey. Most importantly, you will learn how to find the answers you seek. You will learn how to trust yourself completely. You will become who you decide to be. 💖

MEET YOUR MENTOR - KATHY CARRINGTON

Hi! I'm Kathy Carrington. My journey on the road of personal growth came out of the traumatic events in the early years of my life. Abandoned by my birth parents while a toddler, followed by physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse, I became an easy target for predators. I became a victim of my life's circumstances.

For decades I lived in survival mode and didn't even know it. Fear and the subconscious belief that I was unworthy of love and belonging resulted in cycles of severe depression, constant anxiety, unhealthy decisions, and one sabotaged relationship after another. Suicide often seemed the only solution to end my suffering.

After doing what everyone else said I should do (only to sink deeper into the abyss of my pain), I discovered the answers didn't exist "out there" somewhere. The answers were within me.

Today I am a strong, resourceful, and resilient woman. I will not tell you my life is perfect (no one's life is) but I can tell you I live it knowing I can get through anything. I am no longer held hostage by my past. The pain that once nearly killed me no longer threatens my life or my sanity. My happiness is not dependent on what others do or don't do. I live grounded in true inner peace. Something at one time in my life I was sure I would never have.

My life's purpose is simple. I am a resource of wisdom, compassion, and empathy. I will help you find the answers within you by holding up a mirror in which you will see who you can become - who you really are. The intention of this work is for you to travel the road of personal growth faster and with less suffering. 🙏

MY APPROACH

I believe human beings are designed to navigate life using their inner guidance and to live in alignment with their values. When this is working, we thrive. When it's not, life can turn into one struggle after another causing peace and happiness to evade us.

Those who have experienced traumatic events, powerful outside influences, or overwhelming life circumstances can find themselves stuck in survival mode and detached from their inner guidance. They can feel trapped in a life that is not their own and this leads to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating emotions, perfectionism, self-criticism, control issues, and relationship difficulties.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to learn how to look at what is not working in your life. We will explore tools and resources that empower you to make positive changes. I help you identify what you truly value, what you believe, and how to develop the courage to live in alignment with your personal values and beliefs. You learn how to turn struggle into stepping stones leading to life-changing personal growth.

Life is never always rainbows and butterflies but it can always be lived with a sense of empowerment that is grounded deep within. Once you establish that, no one can take it from you even in the worse circumstances.
