View this post on Instagram I used to blame the “small city” I lived in as the reason that I couldn’t make my dreams come true🤔 . Truth was, I wasn’t doing anything to live the life of my dreams😳 . Fast forward to today, I’m living in Pembroke, Ontario (the city I used to blame), running a full-time online coaching business, helping women live the life of THEIR dreams🎉 . I was always afraid of being misunderstood. Afraid of being judged for being “that girl” who buys $500 worth of balloons *just* for a branding photoshoot. For being the girl who invites women from all over the world to retreats in Pembroke. For being the girl who just “does stuff on the Internet”🌍 . I thought propel would think I was a joke. Do I belong here? Do people think I’m crazy? Should I just quit? . I’m not going to sugarcoat anything. I’ve been through a lot of moments of doubt. And feeling misunderstood has really hurt me. But I’m proud to say that now... . ✨I’m the woman who DOES hold retreats and summits in this city and is proud to do it. ✨ I AM the woman who will spend thousands of dollars on a 4 hour event because it WILL change every single woman’s life who attends. ✨I AM the women who thinks big and does big. ✨I am the woman who DOESN’T need to prove anything to anyone. . I give opportunities for women to walk. And if they want to walk beside me, they will 👯♀️If YOU want to walk beside me, YOU WILL. . Being courageous and being confident means walking through fear. Knowing that fear is normal, but the confidence and empowerment on the other side is so worth it 💗 . #courageouslyconfidentchallenge #internationalwomensday2019 #iwd2019 #fempreneur #womenempowerment #girlgang #solopreneur #girlsonfire #goaldigger #grateful🙏 #fitspo #selflove #lawofattraction #lifecoaches #loveyourself #bossbabe #girlboss #balloons #fitgirls #motivation #happy A post shared by Steph | Business Coach (@xogingy) on Mar 8, 2019 at 5:45am PST Website West Pender Street in Vancouver Address: West Pender St., Vancouver, BC Why You Need To Go: Gorgeous Vancouver is the filming location of tons of romantic Christmas movies.
