Summary

Pam Baker came to coaching worried she no longer had a purpose in life, only to create meaning from her loss by starting a non-profit. We can all give ourselves the gift of going after a vision. You don’t have to be a special snowflake, or even do it the way Pam did. You just have to be committed to figuring it out, and I hope you feel encouraged and inspired by Pam’s story.

0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I just got done recording this interview with Pam Baker,
0:39.8	and I am excited for you to meet Pam. Literally, it's so humbling to me. It's just so, it's
0:47.7	humbling, it's joy inducing, it is skin pinching in the sense that it's unreal, just what an impact coaching makes
1:01.5	and what an impact you as a widowed mom can have in this world. And your impact may be different
1:08.5	than Pam's. She's going to tell you all about what life has been
1:12.0	like for her and what it was like before she lost Doug and what coaching was like and the nonprofit
1:17.4	that she's created. And you don't have to do it the way Pam did it, right? But what I really
1:22.5	hope that you'll pick up from this episode is that you don't have to know how. You don't have to know even what your
1:31.5	purpose is. You don't have to know what it's going to look like. You don't have to know any of it.
1:36.8	You just have to be committed to figuring it out, right? You just have to be willing to learn by doing.

1:47.3	And of course, I hope that you'll come and do that with coaching. But even if you don't, you can just
1:54.0	do so much in this world. And you really can create meaning. If you want to from your loss,
2:00.0	you really can love your life again. You do not have
2:02.6	to be a special snowflake or have a certain degree or any of that. It really is available to all
2:08.5	of us. So I'm going to shut up and I'm going to let you listen to my interview with Pam Baker.
2:13.4	I hope you see aspects of yourself. I hope you listen and you feel encouraged and inspired.
2:18.7	And I hope that by the end of the episode that you're thinking, okay, if Pam can do it, I can do it.
2:23.1	That's what I want for you. All right. Let's get into my interview with Ms. Pam Baker.
