web-ep-034-micaela-becattini

Micaela Becattini is, in her own words “devoted to growth and evolution”, especially in the midst of significant challenge, something that she has rather a lot of first hand experience with!

In 2004 Micaela moved to Australia from Italy and found moving countries to be an intense and challenging, especially the adaptation to a new culture and a new language. This Next Chapter in her life was disorientating, and she was concerned that she had bitten off a bit much as she struggled to find her feet, make new friends, and in fact, redefine her own identity..

Shortly afterwards the challenges increased when she developed Crohns Disease, an immune disease that is invisible, but debilitating and this further reinforced her sense of social isolation.

But Micaela is a fighter! She shook off “my victim mentality”, let go of the feeling of shame and embarrassment and started a support group in her area for others. And that was just the beginning of her own graceful transition, as she embraced her personal power.

Today, Micaela is a Life Transitions Coach. She works with women who are underdoing their own transformations, stepping them through her unique process of change, helping them to face their fears and take the baby steps of courage that will open up a whole new life.

Show Notes

  • Resilience is simply being open to accepting your own life story
  • We need people around us on this journey into our next chapters – isolation is a dream killer
  • Understanding and befriending our emotions, demystifying them, naming them learning to express them is essential. There is a wonderful list of emotions from the work of Byron Katie that you can access here
  • No transition is possible without letting go of what was so you can welcome what may be
  • Become aware of your fears, write them down and then consider possible solutions – they lose their power when they are on paper in front of you
