This is me moments before I strapped on my pack and started my ascent of Mt. Adams, showing off my “This seemed like a good idea three months ago” shirt. I often use humor to deflect my nervousness. I was terrified in that moment. Even though I had trained for 12 weeks, did my research, and completed my equipment check, I still doubted myself. All the negative self-talk kicked in and it felt as though I had made a huge mistake. I am so grateful that I didn’t let the fear talk me out of it! Instead, I acknowledged my fear and then put one foot in front of the other. Not only did I make it to the top, I rocked that climb and glissaded back down…I felt like such a badass for challenging myself!
Don’t let fear hold you back from your goals! Let me help you remove obstacles so your midlife goals can take flight!

“Shelly Abriss is an excellent life coach! I’ve only known her for a short while, but she is so inspiring and encouraging that she has made a big impact on my achieving long-held life goals that have eluded me before. Because of my work with her over the last year I’ve:
1) finally gotten some household organizational projects accomplished which has made dealing with daily/weekly/monthly project challenges more efficient and enjoyable,
2) started being more disciplined about taking my medical prescriptions as directed which has reduced my A1C to lower than diabetic levels,
3) begun being more thoughtful about my dietary choices, portion sizes, and meal frequency, which has resulted in 10% weight loss so far in just a couple months and at current rate have excellent prospect of reaching my 20% weight reduction goal in just a couple more months,
4) quit smoking cigars which had dramatically increased since my retirement a couple years ago an especially since the start of the COVID lockdown,
5) gotten out for delightful exercise excursions where I have seen beautiful sights and achieved physical challenges that made me feel a sense of accomplishment, and
6) become more confident and comfortable in social situations, meeting other positive, goal-oriented, and pleasant people looking to live and enjoy life to the fullest.
I used to think that I could do any of those things on my own, but the truth is I didn’t accomplish any of them until I met and started working with Shelly. She is a real God-send and I can’t thank her enough for the positive effect she’s had in my life. She makes me feel good about being the best me I can be.”
