Growing Through A Life Transition





  1. Wanting to change or improve a certain aspect of your life.
  2. Wanting a major overhaul or being impacted to reflect a major life overhaul.
  3. Accepting change and planning for what you want.
  4. Focusing on what could go wrong.
  5. Resisting the change and staying numb.
  6. Growing with the change and having the right support for success and happiness.
Being connected to what you want naturally enables you to reach out for what you want.

Being disconnected from what you want leaves you to fulfil the needs of everyone around you.
How you exist for yourself and with others is a balanced act.
Knowing what you want and deciding to take action to reach for what you want empowers you.
Not knowing what you want and agreeing with everyone around you as they take decisions on your behalf sets you up for a trap.
I am not referring to co-dependency where 2 people merge and uniqueness is lost. I am referring to being in charge and responsible for your life. I mean all of it.
If you don't know what you want or what you need how are you ever going to know when you are fulfilled, satisfied and happy?
If you give the responsibility of your life to another person to make you happy and to make sure that you are on track affectionately or financially I have one question for you.
What will you do when this person will no longer be there?
The reality is that separations, divorces and deaths are part of life.
When a person is impacted by another person's decision or by an unfortunate situation it does weaken their esteem. No doubt.
When a person takes a decision he or she is empowered because it is a choice. Having taken the decision makes a person feel in control. If the decision was taken from ignorance or a disconnected place there will be regrets.
When the decision is taken from an unshakeable place within the person is aligned with life. The path ahead is cleared up and it is struggle free. I am not saying obstacle free. Struggling and overcoming an obstacle are different in their energy. A struggle will take its energy from the ego and it will leave you feeling tired. On the other hand an obstacle will call on the muscle of courage and faith and with the right community support the obstacle will be surpassed.
In both of these cases, whether a person took the decision or was impacted by the decision of another person, are both a beginning of a transition.
For the person that took a decision the change makes sense. This person will feel in control.
For the person that was impacted it does not make sense. This person will not feel in control.
Both situations will have their share of stress or worry. 
What are life transitions?
  • Being born
  • Being single transitioning to living as a couple
  • Living as a couple transitioning to being single
  • Being a mother or father transitioning to family expansion
  • Expanded family transitioning to living alone or living with a spouse (grown children leaving home / split family from separation or divorce)
  • Being unemployed transitioning to working
  • Working transitioning to another job and adapting to a new environment
  • Being employed transitioning to being a business owner
  • Business owner transitioning through business expansion
  • Working or owning a business transitioning to retirement
  • Retirement transitioning to leisure activities or to never retiring
  • Dying and living in another dimension



Transitions are part of the natural stages of life.
Transformations that makes sense for you asks you to believe in yourself through resilience capitalizing on all the victories you have had up to this point in your life.
A good community support helps and enables you to live the successful transformation that you want.
Connect With Your Heart,
Yvonne St-Louis
Yvonne has helped men and women through their life transition. A responsible compassion leads you to let go of the stress and the pressure caused by the psychological structural tension caused by change. Through changes there is stress. It's a part of change. There is a good stress and there is also being distressed which is not so good.

Baby Steps To Begin Again

How do you make a new start? A new life for yourself? How do you pick yourself up again? How do you get yourself back after something's happened? Or after something hasn't happened for a while and you're bored beyond belief with him/your job/your life/that way of being that hurts you?


Beginnings and endings. They have the power to make you twice the woman you are or leave you in a big bundled mess on the floor.
To weep or to whoop whoop? That is the question. That's why it's so important for you to be a big beautiful support to yourself, because you hold the power right now to completely and utterly inspire yourself with this new way of being.
Or not. You could fight it wishing it would all go back to the way it was. But it can't. Dammit. New beginnings are here.
Have you ever wanted to feel absolutely amazing and powerful and strong when a new life is handed to you by the universe? But stress and doubt come creeping in? You're worried about what will happen to you... Worried about how it will all be? You've likely come to the end of a life cycle. So to see you through so you feel good with glitter on top I've written this little guide for you:
7 Baby Steps to Begin Again so you move forward into your new life with ease, grace and fabulousness!
And what's the first baby step?
1. Um... it's exhaustion. First stage of newness. Might be speckled with euphoria in places. A new hair cut. A new juice you've just discovered for your mornings. And then, exhaustion. Feeling irritated. Unexplained bad mood. Your needs at this point are basic. Good food. Good sleep. Safety. Good people. Don't try to reach for the stars right now. You'll not be feeling it. If you skip this bit and lunge for No.2 and go all self-helpy you'll slip back here to No.1, but then it will be No.1 + beating self up. So don't bother. Give it a miss. Watch telly. Sleep. Cry. Just be.
2. Thinking time. Second stage of newness. You're ready. Not for your new life yet. But you're ready to think about it. Write it out. Say it to someone you trust. Dare to reach for the stars in your thoughts and on paper. You'll feel better.
3. Energy time. Third stage of newness. Time to build your energy doing what you love. Start with your body. You won't feel like it but do it anyway. Move it. In the only way that makes you happy. Dance to 3 tracks every morning before work. Sing your heart out in the shower. Hit the gym, yoga class, the whatever you fancy class. If you don't energise your body you won't have energy to create this new life you want. Skip this and you'll falter start most days. Which will pull you back to No.1. No thank you.


4. Spirit time. Fourth stage of newness. Your spirit and soul are beginning to wake up. Listen to them. They'll begin to send you the newness beginnings like little bird songs. Feed them what they need to lift you. What new delicious ritual would you look forward to every day? A meditation app to listen to on the way to work? Chakra dancing? Painting with your fingers? Tending to your flowers, drawing fragrant warm baths for yourself, you know what I'm saying here? This is where you tend to the gentler more sensitive part of your nature. Feed yourself your highest possibility here. Again, do it with a girlfriend if you keep messing this bit up. She'll support you and you'll not want to let her down. (Soul kismet.)
5. Why? Why do you want this? This is your fifth stage of newness. And it's so, so needed. Write it on a piece of paper. There. That's why. You need your why. It will pull you out of bed on a morning you'd really rather not. It will make you make that phone call to get help. It will make you take action when you'd rather slip into the old way of being. Your "why" is the reason why you're doing this. Your "why" makes YOU more important than your excuses. Write it out and carry it with you. It's your best friend for your new life. Look at it regularly. There, that's why.
6. Pleasure time. Sixth stage of newness. Give yourself fun in abundance. You need fun and happiness and sparkles and gorgeous luscious pleasure dotted daintily throughout your day. A woman like you HAS to have something to look forward to, always. What turns you on?
7. Action time! Seventh stage of newness. Now you've got the energy to tackle that. Whatever that is. You're ready to stop doing that thing, or to start doing that thing. You're ready to begin your new life! This is outward action - calling up for a new job, putting your profile up on a dating website, asking for what you want, joining a course, calling someone to help you, making that move. Finally. Yes. You're ready to put this new beginning into action! It will feel good. Frantic sometimes. Pace yourself. Do not give up energy time and spirit time.

There you have it. 7 baby steps to the new you, new life, new way of being. Here's to new beginnings! YES! Let this time be a breath of fresh air for you - trust it - new beginnings suit you!

This Is For All Of You Fighting Battles Alone

When you feel alone. Have you made you dreams into goals ? Do you have a plan and steps in place to reach your goals? Do you look at your goals everyday and just imagine how it feels to have reached them?

What's Stopping You? Getting Rid of the Barriers

Often people tell me of unfulfilled dreams that they wish could have been realized. My first response is that it is never too late to chase a goal. My second response is to try to find out what has been and continues to stop them!
What would you tell me about you? Are you:
1. Insecure - People who are afraid rarely start anything because they figure that they will fail. In fact, they are defeated before they even get to the starting blocks. Old messages from childhood can interfere with their confidence and immobilize their actions. If you are feeling insecure, find a mentor who has found success in the field where you wish to achieve. Take time to gain knowledge. Soon you will be ready to take a step forward.


2. Overwhelmed - Sometimes life seems too difficult and instead of taking action, people freeze. A project can seem to be so big that there is no end in sight. Start by breaking the task down into small, manageable pieces. Do you want to downsize? Try removing one item from the house every day. In thirty days you have removed thirty items. After a year there will be three hundred and sixty-five less things in your surroundings.
3. Lazy - Those who focus on luxuriating, live with negative consequences in the long-run. When you neglect your career, family, friends and home, you will lose your support and security over time. Begin by making a list of all the things that you value and beside each write at least one thing that you need to do this week to protect them.
4. Hurting - Every person on earth has had at least one deep hurt in life. Some people give up and become victims who are not willing to do anything positive to heal to move forward. Others use their pain to help other people. I have heard some people say that time heals. I really don't believe that. Some people hold onto their trauma for decades and never let go! Get professional help when you are stuck!

5. Procrastinating - Do you have great ideas that you never germinate? Are you the person who has advise for other people that you never follow yourself? You likely know the answers to the situation that you are facing but tend to put off enacting them. No one will do the work for you, so it is time to get started. All talk and no action mean you are dead in the water when it comes to progress.
6. Committed - Do you have a goal and a plan to help you achieve it? Are you willing to try even if you don't succeed at first? Would you be willing to study in order to learn strategies that will bring good results? Who do you know who would be willing to encourage and teach you?


Here's the good news. No matter where you fall on the list, you can change and soon you will be able to replace your regret with success!
