Presenting Deb Houldin Health Coach, LLC

Hi friend!

My name is Deborah:  a daughter, wife, mom, business owner, professional, and perfectly imperfect!   Perhaps a familiar story....

Freeze frame 42 years young and as much energy people thought I had truth is I had less than I felt I needed. I had a lot of fair relationships and was always busy, but didn't seem to accomplish anything! I felt chaotic in my day. Instead of reaching out to get support, I made myself busier by  helping others and took out my frustration on those closest to me, my family!! 

The people in my life,  I loved them imperfectly like trying to control and change them.   The "Social Media Life" was fantastic but it wasn't me.  The more I tried to help others, the more I felt I was failing.  I piled more on my plate, and became impatience, fatigued, distant in my marriage and sad, really.  I listened to healthcare professionals, researched online articles, blogs, talked with other other women with the similar issues.  They could articulate beautifully how they felt and what they were focused on.  However, I couldn't verbalize how or what I was feeling inside and found the advice I was getting to be not so helpful for me.

My faith has always been strong.  I love God and really worked on giving others grace but couldn't find grace for myself.  Boundaries were non existant.  There I stood broken, alone and, yet, hopeful.  

We all have those pivotal moments where we think, "This is it!  This trial is going to make me or break me!"  I had a major one of those and instead of pulling away from God I jumped into His lap with my whole being.  After that my life as I knew it changed forever.  From uncovering childhood trauma, divorcing my childhood sweatheart to growing into a life God had here for me all along and continues to guide me in.

God has a way of waiting  paitently while fiercly persuing us. I gave my life to Him...WELL, that's not entirely true.  I pray each day that He finds places in my heart I get to surrender to Him so truly I can give more of myself to Him.  It's a constant focus and today I am increasingly a better me which makes me a better daughter, mom, wife, friend living into who God authenically and uniquely made.

Have you felt alone, lost, scared, angry to the point of seeing red?  Today we can say a prayer together and and start walking towards your authentic and unique self in Christ!  Surely you can message me and we can start a conversation.  What you can expect is to leave our conversation feeling heard and prayed for.  From that conversation we can name what step one is and go from there.  

Learning about God and spending time with Him are two ENTIRELY different things.
