Carolyn is a Life Coach, Inspirational Speaker and Retreat Specialist.

Carolyn loves people and she loves life. She’s lived a road less traveled and has endured a lot of challenges and change. Carolyn believes she’s blessed beyond measure to have traveled the country and to have lived in so many different places and to have had so many different experiences.  She didn’t feel it at the time, but now she believes that her varied life experiences allow her to relate to almost anyone about almost anything.

Whether going to a play in Chicago, or sitting in her garden with tea Carolyn has always been larger than life. Her laugh can be heard clear across the room, and her stories will always keep you entertained. People that know her say she is “one of a kind”.  Her own stories of hope will inspire you.
Carolyn knows what it means to face fear.  She has stared it down plenty in her life.  She knows what risk taking is all about.  She has followed it with a vengeance.  Her wisdom and her presence come from experience.  You can’t help but be inspired and want to follow your own path when Carolyn challenges you to do so.

In the last 30 years Carolyn has lived in 5 different states, 9 different cities, and 27 different homes. She was married for 23 years and has been single for 9.  She has lived from the East to the West, and many stops in-between.  Big city living to small town living.   She has lived by the ocean in Florida, to the ocean in Oregon.  Living has included the Napa Valley where she drank from grapes to Indiana where she ate corn from her backyard. Life along the way has included  canning her own food, heating her house with wood, gardening both vegetables and flowers, camping every year as a child in the sierra mountains with her family, learning the art of “goodwill” decorating, catering large dinner parties, creating masterful floral art, designing beautiful rooms for people to live in, ministering to hundreds of people, helping people from a Navajo Indian reservation to helping build a church in Ecuador,  living in a farm house that was 100 years old in the corn fields to living in a 1931 cottage by the water in Florida.

Most importantly in her life Carolyn would say has been meeting extraordinary people along the way. From young to old.  Every city, every state provided a new opportunity to soak in new neighbors, new friends, and new co-workers. Strangers became family and played very important roles in her life.  She feels blessed to have experienced so much already in her lifetime.  And now she’s ready to bring her full self to helping women discover their full self’s.

I am Carolyn Marie Gill

I am daughter to Don and Wilma

I am mother to Vanessa, Adam and Austin

I am a Strong, Talented and Gifted Woman

I am a woman who is affirming her worth daily and believing that God placed her on this earth for a purpose. There are occasional days I wish I was someone else. Most days I embrace all of whom I AM.

I turned 50 last year and celebrated every minute of it.  I am wiser, smarter, healthier and far more confidant of who I am and what I have to offer than I ever was in earlier years.  I have grown to accept the small lines around my eyes, and embrace my hearty laugh that comes from deep within my soul. The small grey hairs that have cropped up around my face, well that’s a different story.

I have had a full life thus far, having lived in 5 states across the country, two of them multiple times.  In the past 30 years I have lived in 27 different homes, some of them large, some of them very very tiny. Because of my transitional experiences I consider myself an expert in adjusting to change, living with uncertainty and the ability to always be reinventing myself when needed. I have the gift of being able to relate to anyone, anywhere about almost anything.

I’ve lived on the West Coast, the East Coast and lots in between. I’ve lived in the Napa Wine Valley surrounded by grapes and I’ve lived in Indiana surrounded by corn.  I’ve lived in a home that was 1 year old, and I’ve lived in a home that was 125 years old.

I have walked among the richest of rich and the poorest of poor.
I have tasted joy and I have tasted sorrow.
I have lived with hope and I have lived with despair.
I have been married and I have been divorced.
I’ve been a gardener and I’ve been a socialite.
I have laughed and I have cried.
I have loved and I have hated.
I have known what it feels like to be free and I have known what it feels like to be stuck.
I have been paralyzed by fear and I have run with freedom.
I have felt I can do anything and I have felt I have nothing to offer.
I have been a great mother and I have been at times a not so great mother.
I have lived with chaos and I have lived with peace.
I have loved sparingly and I have loved with my whole heart.
I have been giving and I have been selfish.
I have been lost and I have been found.

I choose to live my live through service.

I have chosen to dedicate my life to helping others find joy.

I have been called to life coaching; for it is through this vehicle that I can help other women find new successes in their life so they can live them abundantly and with joy.

I believe life at it’s fullest is lived with passion,courage, purpose, and desire.
