Today we’d like to introduce you to Sandy Bartlett.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I spent 40+ years working in Human Resources Management and when I retired, I still wanted to contribute so got my coaching certification – with the initial thought that I’d do HR Consulting – but have loved coaching so pivoted in that direction. I started as a Confidence Coach for women then niched to Self-Discovery since I realized that if you work on the different self areas that I was focusing on, the confidence was a natural bi-product. Then I niched even further to people-pleasing recovery for women in their second spring. Along the way I also began my own spiritual awakening journey and now that is built in to what I do. I consider myself a life long learner and since getting my Heath and Life Coach Certification, I’ve also obtained my Mastery Coach and Transformational Coach Certification, became a Reiki Master attuned to Holy Fire Karuna Reiki, EFT/Tapping Certification, Tarot Reader Certification, Pendulum Dousing Certification, Trauma Energetics Certification, and most recently became a Shamanic Practitioner. My coaching is tailored to the client and is based on where she is now and where she wants to be. I created my signature ROAR method which takes the client through the steps to Reveal, Own, Align, and Reclaim herself. I have a community on Skool called Journey to Self: The Awakening and I also share on YouTube and my Podcast which is called Journey to Self: Power Beyond People Pleasing. I also have a best selling book on Amazon – Unconditionally You: Your Sassy Guide to Self-Love and have contributed chapters to a few other books. Additionally, I have a journal available on Amazon called ‘Empower Yourself’.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Is anything in life smooth? LOL. The biggest struggle has been healing myself along the way. Most coaches choose their niche because it’s personal to them. They’ve lived it. I’m no different. When I began as a confidence coach – I felt anything but confident. When I pivoted to Self-Discovery, I was discovering myself too. And now in People-Pleasing – I live that daily. I’m so much better than I used to be and I’ve learned to use my voice with confidence and speak my truth but it’s still a challenge.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Sandy Bartlett Coaching?
My brand statement is simple: What you reveal, you reclaim. What you reclaim, you roar.
This is me. I spent my life shrinking and living in accordance to other’s expectations. I’ve been coming out of hiding and now using my voice and my platforms to help others. I wrote a book, I have a podcast and YouTube channel. I would have never seen myself doing that years ago. As I’ve healed and come into being my own person, the rest followed. And it’s just the beginning!
Reclaim You – it’s time to Unleash Your ROAR
My ideal client is 50+ and finds herself at a crossroad – she might be facing an empty nest, a relationship transition, retirement or even what some would call a mid-life crisis but I call her Second Spring. She’s been living her life based on everyone else’s expectations and now doesn’t know who she is anymore. She has difficulty holding boundaries, seeks other’s approval rather than making her own decisions and continually says yes when she means no.
What I love about working with her? I love seeing those light bulb moments and watching her become the woman she was meant to be and the glow in her face when that realization sets in.
What she loves about me? I’m her. I’ve lived it and sometimes still struggle with it. I am honest with her and tell it like it is, gently but firmly. I ask questions that make her think and realize she has the answers within her. I listen to her and I see her.
I created a People Pleasing Persona quiz which is what I believe makes me stand out. When you take the 7 question quiz, it identifies you as one of 5 people pleasing personas followed by a series of emails that tells you more about that persona. I think what also sets me apart is the inclusion of the various modalities I use.
I am most proud of the fact that at almost 70 (in June), I’m still going strong and still learning with no signs of slowing down.
I have a variety of ways for someone to engage with me before they dive into a 6 month coaching container ranging from an emailed Tarot reading to Personalized Tapping Script to Reiki Sessions to Shamanic sessions to Trauma Energetics packages. I have a conversation with the woman to get to know her and then recommend what I believe would be her next best step.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
Too many to name here. Ha Ha. App – I use Insight Timer daily, I am usually reading more than one book at a time ranging from fantasy paranormal romance to self-help to novels. My recent favs are: Miracle Morning; Who is Jesus to You; Tai Chi Walking for Seniors; Mystical Love; and Jackie: Public, Private, Secret. And currently reading about Lemuria.
Podcasts – my own of course – Journey to Self: Power Beyond People Pleasing. 🙂 Also Midlife with Courage; Starting a Business Simplified; Business Sexcess
I also get an Akashic Reading every month and have for the past 4 years.
