Life and Leadership Coach
TALK DON'T COOK RICE, ACTION DOES
You work hard. You’re responsible. And you do A LOT to help other people.
But for all your ambition and do-goodery, you still aren’t living the life you want.
I'm Fay Ferguson, Life and Leadership Coach, and I'm so glad you're here.
Whether you’re climbing the career ladder and feel like you’re not being valued, supporting your family and feel like you need more time for yourself, waiting for others to change and feel like your life is on hold; or transitioning through a major life change and feel like you need some help, you’ve come to the right place. I was once in the same place.
My journey from pain to power
I grew up in an unpredictable, sometimes chaotic environment. From a very young age, I struggled with abandonment, rejection and intermittent depression, which subconsciously created unhealthy beliefs about my worth—beliefs I carried well into adulthood.
For years I believed that to feel valued by the people in my life, I had to prove myself constantly. I had to be the leader and the caretaker, always putting their needs first. More often than not, this came at the steep cost of my happiness and well-being.
I repeated that pattern so often and for so long that I overextended myself—mentally, physically, and emotionally—to the point of illness. I drank more than usual, reached my highest body weight and my blood pressure and cholesterol were off the charts. I had even started experiencing panic attacks.
It took losing my hair, which had become noticeably thin and lifeless, to make me say enough with the self-neglect finally.
I decided it was time to start prioritizing myself again.
I audited my life and career and eliminated the people, places, and things draining my time, energy, and money. I also began to recognize stressors and triggers in my life and set boundaries. I learned to confidently say no to obligations that didn’t feel right. I set goals, made a plan to reach them, and celebrated every success, big and small.
Eventually, my health and hair improved. The panic attacks were gone. For the first time in a long time, I felt free, at true peace, and good about myself and life.
It’s now my mission to help people, just like you, rediscover joy, feel empowered, get unstuck, and kickstart their epic life journey.
