My Story
It’s 1992, I was married and raising two beautiful sons. Life was good…it was, what I considered, “normal”. I was able to stay home when my boys were young and found myself drawn to reading about spiritualism and growth. I discovered Tony Robbins’ book “The Giant Within” soon after it was released. It stirred something inside of me. And so started my quest and yearning for something more….I was 35 years old and would find myself divorced 5 years later after 19 years of marriage. One day after a family vacation and making love, my husband said to me:
I never loved you. I had to force myself to make love to you all these years. I want a divorce.
Those were hard painful words….but the truth was, that I wasn’t happy either….something was missing. Suddenly finding yourself single at 40, in a new city was scary and exciting, sad and hopeful all at the same time....
My sons suffered too. The oldest was heading to the University and so it was a gentler transition. My youngest moved to a new high school, in a new city and it was devastating.
I started selling real estate in 2000. Life was FAST the next decade as I enrolled and absorbed every program Tony Robbins had, UPW, Mastery University, Leadership, coaching, etc. My career advanced quickly. I become a Managing Broker for a larger broker in Phoenix. I was so tuned into my intuition, my gut, that life felt magical… but still, something was missing. It was during one of Tony’s events that I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and opened my own business. This was real estate in 2007 (remember that market??) and while I had real estate sales experience, I did not know how to run a business, nor did I have money to back it. I did it anyway and it grew FAST as I became one of the largest agents in the country. But there were also challenges. I had two failed business partnerships and failed personal relationships and my youngest had become addicted to drugs.
So in 2012, I started pulling away from Real Estate and spent the next decade searching for ways to help my son, help myself and continue to grow. Constantly searching for meaning and understanding and that “thing” that was missing.
During this time, I studied, trained, and became a Certified Master Trainer of NLP and TLT®. I spent time in India and China and became certified in Meditation. I obtained certifications in Hypnotherapy and Past Life regression and more. I even experienced plant medicine …All the skills, modalities and research I have done brought me to a single conclusion. …
And so, I launched my podcast/show I LOVE ME LAB , because of the following realizations.
We are not all the same. We all process events differently. This is something that NLP can assist in gaining a clearer understanding of. Every guest I have as well as my solo episodes contain a foundation of self-love and living a happier healthier life.
With every interview I have, my own heart grows and my understanding and acceptance do as well.
If each guest reaches just ONE listener, then we start a ripple effect of deeper understanding.
For now, I can share with all my heart, that my mission is to support others as much as possible, through the I LOVE ME LAB podcast, coaching, training and providing support and resources so that YOU can bust through your challenges and have the life you desire. Heck, I am still growing and learning and sharing and I am excited at the possibility of having you on this journey with me. Huge Hugs Gail
