— Welcome, I'm Donna
About me
My about pages in the past have either sounded like a soulless automaton, or a drugged up cheerleader. I’m actually neither.
I’m a chocaholic, potty-mouthed, bookworm introvert coach and writer. I’ve been coaching since 2004 and really geek over conversations about self-care, self-love, what gets in our way in life, enjoying life, writing, making dreams come true, getting through life without collapsing in despair or screaming with anger (I have way more of these conversations since my perimenopause journey bagan).
I fell in love with coaching in a doctor’s waiting room in 1993. I was 21 and reading an article about this person who helped others sort their life out…what a wonderful thing to do. But I thought I was too young at the time, and it took me another decade and working with a coach younger than me to realise I could do this amazing thing called coaching. I’ve been doing it ever since, with anyone who’d let me.
I’ve written 4 books so far – one is in the final editing phase right now, one in the pipeline to be re-edited and released when I’ve finishe the one I’m editing.
As I mentioned, I’m perimenopausal (isn’t that just a slice of fucking delightfulness???). I also have Multiple Sclerosis. I’ve had it since the late 90’s, diagnosed 2010, main symptom fatigue – I liken myself to one of those fragile victorian ladies fainted away on their Chaise Longue.
Which is why I created the Chaise Longue Lounge – a facebook group dedicated to the idea of chilling out on a Chaise. Cos we all need more rest (I’m pretty fucking militant about this, busyness and stress are a scourge on our lives).
Come join us…but make sure you answer the questions, cos if you don’t, the AI bouncer will fuck you out before I even know you want to come in.
I didn’t know what else to say here, so I asked my friends and followers what questions they would like me to answer on my new about page, and how they’d describe me. Sarcastic was the most used word. Followed by potty-mouth (or variations thereof).
