Why am I sharing this personal story today?
Welcome back to another episode of Simplify Your Business, Amplify Your Life.
Back in the first episode I mentioned our first daughter was born terminally ill. She was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome). Her name was Jessica.
Without getting too science-yy on you, I want to explain what Trisomy 18 is and why I’m talking about it on today’s episode.
Trisomy 18 is a condition that is caused by an error in cell division in the developing baby.
Instead of the normal 23 pairs of chromosomes we all have, a child with T18 ends up with 24 chromosomes because their #18 chromosome divided into 3 making it triple and not a pair. When this happens it disrupts the normal pattern of development in significant ways that can be life-threatening, even before birth. Another example of Trisomy would be Trisomy 21 which is known as Down syndrome. They have an extra (3) chromosomes of their #21.
The extra eighteenth chromosome in Trisomy babies can cause a wide variety of problems (sometimes referred to as birth defects).
Just as children with Down syndrome can range from mildly to severely affected, the same is true for children with Trisomy 18.
This means that there is no hard and fast rule about what Trisomy 18 will mean for a specific child.
Each child has their own unique profile of how Trisomy 18 is affecting their developing body and organs.
However, all studies on survival rates show that there is a high mortality rate for children with Trisomy 18 before or shortly after birth.
When Jessica was born they told us she would probably only live for 6 weeks. So you can imagine that we spent those 6 weeks - in the NICU -just watching her breathe hoping they were wrong.
When she passed the 6 week mark and allowed us to take her home, they told us that most don’t live past 6 months. Once again, we spent our days, weeks and months watching her breathe hoping they were wrong.
When she made it past the 6 month mark, we were told that 97% don’t make it past their 1st year. By now, we realized that this little fighter was surpassing all of the statistics and we continued to love and care for her as we had been. She spent that first year of her life in and out of the hospital 14 times.
Her 1st birthday came and we had a great celebration - even her pediatrician came.
Jessica continued to blow the statistics out of the water until she passed away at the age of 2 ½.
If you want to learn more about Trisomy 18, I’ll leave a link in the show notes because I want to tell you why I’m talking about all of this in today's episode.
Today is March 1st and on March 18 it will once again be Trisomy Awareness Day (3/18). My dream has always been to give back in Jessica’s name by helping others.
Starting this month March 2022, I have a new offering called the T-18 Coaching Experience.
This 2.5 hour virtual coaching experience with me can completely change the way you approach your business.
You will leave so pumped up KNOWING exactly what you need to do to see AMPLIFIED results!
So, if you’re drowning in overwhelm. You feel exhausted. You don’t know what you should be doing, you’re procrastinating. You’ve lost your focus, you feel unhappy and you don’t have the time or energy to actually work out what to do. You can’t even remember what it feels like to not be stressed and overwhelmed … Then welcome to the T-18 Coaching Experience!
You can expect:
* To gain clarity about you, your services, and your business vision which will help to release the overwhelm and stress.
* To help you address your mindset blocks (money, self-worth, and the not good enough) and open yourself up to your endless possibilities.
* To gain confidence as the CEO of your brand by having a step-by-step plan to up level your business so you can enjoy the increased revenue and work/life harmony.
* To create strategic systems that will help you let go of what isn’t working and focus on what you love doing.
* To be energized by the clarity, confidence, clients and cash that will happen from the strategic business plan we create.
You can go from being stressed and overwhelmed about your business to being clear on what you need to do to get your business where you want it.
I feel like it’s important that I tell you who this coaching experience is for?
As you know my niche is helping female coaches attract clients, build profit and simplify their business and this coaching experience is definitely for you.
But, with my diverse business background, I know I can help lots of others (for example: network marketers, service based businesses, etc.) and I want to help as many people as I can. So, if you’re a female entrepreneur looking for some guidance with your business, this coaching experience is definitely for you, too.
It’s for you if:
💜 You're still feeling stuck even though you’ve done other coaching programs
💜 You're always feeling like you don’t know what to do next in your business
💜 You're not needing a full coaching program right now but just needing some custom guidance
💜 You're a female entrepreneur feeling a gap in your business and aren't sure what it is
💜 You're ready to stop doing ALL.THE.THINGS. and start focusing on the most important things
PACKAGE INCLUDES
* 2.5 hour coaching session via Zoom (recorded and sent out after)
* Notes from session
* Custom Strategy Plan
* Follow up accountability email
Normally these sessions would be $520
But I wanted to connect it to giving back in Jessica’s name ….
Starting this month you can book the T-18 Coaching Experience for only $318 ($202 savings)
AND for each package purchased in the month of MARCH, I will be giving $18 to the Trisomy 18 Foundation.
I want to be upfront and transparent with you - on Friday, March 18 ONLY (T18 Awareness Day) I’m offering $50 off - so the price would be $268. Again this price is only for March 18 and I will still be giving $18 to Trisomy 18 Foundation.
The T-18 Coaching Experience will be available ongoing for $318, but the specials ($50 off day and $18 donation for each) will only be happening during the month of March.
Right before I was getting ready to record this podcast, I realized this will be my 18th episode. I think that’s a God wink, don’t you?
