Be YOU anytime, all the time!\nLori has worn many hats from being a kindergarten teacher where we know \u201cyou really learn all there is to know\u201d, right? to becoming\xa0a Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW. At the age of 48, she decided to get a Master\u2019s degree and opened a private practice. Also, during that time, she was also involved with Hospice as Bereavement Director for 10 years.\nAs coaching came into prominence, she completed a year-long coaching program and became a coach with the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara specializing in Adult Self- Renewal and Developmental Growth.\nYou might call her a life-long learner – she is even a laughter yoga instructor, so she has a broad range of skills to choose from to help people make changes and reinvent themselves.\nLet's take a look at Lori's journey:\nLori's mother left their dad when Lori was just 3 weeks old. To support her and her brothers, Lori's mother enrolled in a beauty school while they stay with relatives. Lori was 3 years old when her mom opened a beauty shop in their house. Being a toddler, Lori just wants to be by her mom's side and see all the actions in the beauty shop but her mom kept “shushing” her to her room and she doesn't understand why. That made a huge impact on Lori. She felt like she's a bother, felt lonely and alone. Lori feels she's unwanted.\nShe learned perseverance from her mother so she decided that she wanted to go to college. Not a lot of women do that during those times. Lori went to their family doctor and asked him if he could loan her money for college. The doctor agreed but Lori's mother didn't know what she did. When her mother found out she was going to college, her mother said it's not a good idea because she might lose her religion. Lori took up Psychology because she knew that's what she needed to help herself understand things. It's her path to understanding herself.\n\nBe you all the time!\n“To\xa0be true to yourself\xa0means to act in accordance with who you are and what you believe.\nIf you know and\xa0love yourself\xa0you will find it effortless to be true to yourself and to be YOU all the time.\nJust as you cannot love anyone else until you love yourself, you cannot be true to anyone else until you are true to yourself. \xa0Begin by not being afraid to be who you are!\nAs difficult as it may seem at first, have the\xa0courage\xa0to accept yourself as you really are, not as someone else thinks you should be. Do not take action or pretend to be someone else for the sake of gaining\xa0acceptance.”\nBy Z.
