's post, I wanted to create a conversation around a hobby that I love: performing stand-up comedy!

A lot of people ask me the question, “why stand-up comedy?”

Am I looking to become famous? NO.

Make money? NOPE.

My goal in getting up on stage was (and is) to get outside of my current comfort zone for my own personal GROWTH.

Did I achieve this objective? YES 100% !

Stand-up comedy has helped me learn so much about myself, it’s hard to describe it all in one short post. It has enabled me to:

Find the humor in my experience of life ! We all go through stuff that is painful. AND when we can take a step back and find the gift that’s there for us, we can usually laugh about some part of it...

Get over my fear of rejection. Most of the time things work out, but even when they don’t, it’s not all bad…

Redefine who I am as a person because I have proven to myself over and over again that I am capable of doing hard things !

The road to personal development is AMAZING. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but stand-up comedy certainly has made it a lot more FUN. And the experience is serving me as I grow my life coaching business because it helps me:

Show up to give
Be fully present in the moment with zero expectations
Bring the very best version of myself with me into all of my interactions
Ask quality questions to get unstuck...

... and a million other things.

One day I want to write a book (or at least a chapter in a book about it). And my mantra has really helped me overcome my fears to keep putting myself out there (and keep doing it again and again):

"This is hard. AND, I am capable of doing hard things."

With a little luck that may serve someone here today! 🥰
