Transforming Your Desired Existence: A Guide
January 15, 2021 | Embracing a Slower, More Intentional Life
Nature-lover and life coach Lynne Davies-Craine shares her journey of self-discovery and her mission to help women reconnect with themselves and discover the lives they truly want.
Lynne, a nurse by training and charity worker by career, hails from Oxfordshire and leads a life filled with tranquility and intention. With a passion for walking and an affinity for nature, she is now setting up her own coaching practice to guide women who feel lost in their own lives.
"I discovered a way I can use my skills and passion together to support other young women to reconnect to themselves, understand what makes them tick and make choices based on that, so they always feel like them," Lynne tells us during a charming conversation about finding and creating the life one desires.
The Catalyst for Change
Feeling discontented with her own life in her mid-20s, Lynne sought coaching to embark on a journey of self-discovery. This sparked a newfound desire to talk to other women about their lives, uncover their desires, and empower them to lead lives that align with their authentic selves.
"I wanted to find happiness in every day rather than seeking it in the big things that society told me would make my life complete," Lynne explains, highlighting the importance of finding joy in everyday experiences rather than constantly striving for external validation.
The Allure of Nature
Another significant factor in Lynne's decision to change her life was her deep connection with nature. "The peace it brought me, along with the joys of noticing the happenings in nature, from the tiny woodlouse to the sunlight and clouds dancing on the hillside, was something I wanted more of, not just on my holidays," she reveals.
Discovering the Power of Coaching
Driven by her passion to help others, Lynne chose coaching as a means to marrying her desire to support others with her love for spending time in nature. "I believe that we all fundamentally know what we need, but it's often hidden, and we get sucked into doing what's expected rather than what we want," she maintains. Coaching provides a space for individuals to reconnect with themselves, understand their intuition, and make choices based on their true desires.
Living True to One's Self
A slow, intentional lifestyle, as Lynne embraces, encourages people to live their lives the way they truly want. "It's about making deliberate decisions to savor experiences, reduce unnecessary distractions, and focus on activities and relationships that contribute to personal well-being," she elaborates. By adopting this philosophy and emphasizing authentic and meaningful connections, Lynne offers women a pathway toward leading lives that resonate with their inner selves.
- Lynne's coaching practice aims to guide small businesses, particularly women who feel lost in their lives, towards a lifestyle that resonates with their inner selves, focusing on areas such as home-and-garden, education-and-self-development, and personal-growth.
- Lynne's mission is not only about helping women, but also promoting slow living, which advocates for a deliberate decision-making process in order to savor experiences, reduce distractions, and foster personal well-being, aligning with the finance aspect of managing one's resources effectively for a better life.
- As Lynne's coaching practice grows, it will also support small businesses that share her vision by providing them with guidance and resources, thereby contributing to the broader business community.
- Lynne's journey serves as an example of how one can integrate slow living into their lifestyle, not only reconnecting with themselves but also making a meaningful impact on small businesses and the wider community.
