You Are Both Your Cage and Its Key

Life Coaching Tip: There is a sentiment that captures the entire premise of my coaching work in just a few words: “You are both your cage and its key.” If you have ever felt stuck despite wanting something deeply, this one is for you. The cage feels locked, but it’s not. You have the power to walk right out the door. One of my clients, Renee, has learned this truth so well. She is living audaciously, and her transformation will give you chills. Keep reading!

You are both your cage and its key.

This inspirational proverb was on one of my incredible clients, Renee’s social media pages yesterday, and it caught my attention in a big way.

First, because it’s true.  It’s the concept behind my coaching method and how I help my clients truly find their power.

But second, and more importantly, I got goosebumps because I realized that Renee now truly gets it.  To her core, she knows it’s true because she’s living it.

When she began coaching, Renee felt stuck.

She had big, audacious dreams.  She longed for changes with her career, health, finances, and she wanted to marry the love of her life—yet she couldn’t find a way. 

I remember her consultation like it was yesterday.  Renee was contemplating joining the 2024-25 round of Shine On, but she was scared.  She’d never invested in herself like that before.  She couldn’t see how her dreams could ever come true, yet somewhere in her heart of hearts, she knew it was possible.

So, Renee trusted me when I told her she was more powerful than she realized. She listened as I explained that once she shifted her thoughts to better serve her, she’d be unstoppable.   She overrode her fear, trusted her intuition, and jumped in.

It has been such a joy to watch her journey.  To see her brain resist the work at first—to argue, fail, try, fail again, persist—then whoosh . . . it went from impossibility to inevitability. I think of her every time I hear the word “inevitable” because she says it so often these days.

Renee is now half-way through her second round of Shine On and empowered in every way. She’s paid off her debt, lost more than 50 pounds, started a side-business, and upleveled her career.  She’s currently working on a book, interviewing for her dream role, and PLANNING HER VERY FABULOUS WEDDING!

What changed?  The answer is simple—her mindset.

Watching her transformation is why I love this work so much.  It’s powerful and life changing.  Once we learn how to make our brain work with us and for us, everything is possible. Everything.

So, I’m wondering.

What’s your big, audacious, impossible dream?

What cage do you feel stuck in?

This may be hard to hear, especially if you’ve felt stuck for months, years, or even a lifetime—but the cage is not locked.

Your thoughts are the key that opens the door.

Ready to finally be set free and do the damn thing already?

Connect with me.  I’ve got you.

Even if you’re feeling scared, resistant or doubtful, that’s not a problem. There’s a part of you deep down that knows it’s possible.

Just like Glinda, the good witch of Oz, said to Dorothy: You’ve always had the power, my dear.  I’ll help you find it.

LFG!
