What can coaching offer you?

Feeling stuck in survival mode? Are you filled with worry or sadness due to your child’s diagnosis? Is your marriage being drained empty by the stress of constant caregiving? Can’t remember what it’s like to simply live, forget thrive? Life in the time of COVID-19 making it worse? As a mom of a boy with significant disabilities, I personally understand just how much you have sacrificed to help your child reach milestones. I also know you have every reason to feel stressed and depressed when there are setbacks. But have your reasons become excuses to stop enjoying life? Instead, what if your reasons could become your motivation for living a purposely joyful life? 

My name is Monica Herber, creator of The Joyful Unknown. As a Certified Life and Marriage Coach, a mom of a 5 year old boy with cerebral palsy, a wife of 12 years, and an RN with 15 years of experience, I can help you find the missing joy hidden within you and around you! As your coach, I can specifically offer you as an individual or couple:

• Support in navigating the health care system and finding creative solutions to the specific challenges of your child and family.

• A Partnership in which, together, we can formulate a strategy to manage the stressors in your life and help you find balance again.

• Clarity by asking powerful targeted questions through which you can discover, hidden within your answers, a new dream that works for your life as it is now with your special child.  

• Plan of Action. I will challenge you to set goals for yourself that move you out of survival mode and into joyful daily living. 

• Assistance to Organize and Prioritize.  I will help you identify the unnecessary “drainers” of your precious time and energy. Together we can create a schedule that works for you and benefits your whole family.

• Encouragement to Self-care. You can’t give to your child what you don’t have! As your coach, I will cheer you toward greater love of yourself, hold you accountable, taking steps to fill up your depleted energy tank.

• Accountability. From time to time, we all need a partner to gently remind us of what we claim we want and to help us stay the course. I can be that partner who affirms you in the healthy choices you make toward joyful living.

• Opportunity to Discover the Power of Prayer.  We can discuss your openness to allow God into your worried mind and what that means for your life.

• Communication Tools for Married Couples. I can coach you both to take concrete steps to become better listeners and loving talkers. Together, with my help, you can begin to find the connection you have lost in the stress of caring for the needs of your child.

• A Hopeful Vision for your Future. I want to help you become proactive, not just reactive to the setbacks of your child’s diagnosis. I will encourage you to consider what your hopes and dreams are if a cure for your child is not possible.   Discover the thrill of pursuing a new more meaningful dream and take steps toward making it a reality!

Although we can’t control COVID-19, the economy or the even outcome of your child’s diagnosis, we can choose how we respond to all of it.  Coaching can help you discover . . . you were made for such a time as this! No pandemic or diagnosis should keep you from the Joy you were made to experience.
