Hi I'm Alexandra,
People have described me as inspiring, genuine, positive, of good energy, a 'doer' and that I really should come with a disclaimer! That last one I'm particularly proud of, so if you choose to engage - beware of what big, potentially life-changing goal you might find yourself committing to…
It's been a common theme throughout my journey. And has led to many life-changing achievements. 6 marathons, an IRONMAN, founding my own business, publishing a book (now in its second edition), and my proudest - becoming a Mum.
But amongst the achievements, I've also experienced countless setbacks along the way. And those setbacks have been integral to my growth, because I've learnt from them. To find a different way. A way to make the seemingly impossible - absolutely possible.
I've come to believe in the power of possibility. To live life through a lens of possibility, not limits - because when we do, we see it differently.
And when we embark on those big goals - we go on a journey of self-discovery and we set in motion a ripple effect in our lives, and the lives of those around us.
Which is why I've developed such a passion for helping people take on goals they didn't think possible. Particularly running a marathon for the first time.
We run for all kinds of reasons, but when we stretch ourselves to the marathon distance - it can be life-changing.
16 years on since my first marathon and it almost becomes more pivotal as time goes by, because it was the trigger for everything that would follow it. And I will be forever grateful for the encouragement and support I received to help me do it.
Many of us tend to place limits on ourselves (and those around us!) but I’ve experienced first hand what can happen when we defy those limits. And I want to encourage others to do the same. Because there is an entire world of possibility out there, just waiting for us, if we can find the courage to go after it!
That’s really what inspired me to write The Power of Possibility. I wanted to share what I’d learnt on my journey, in the hope it might help others on theirs. It also inspired Marathon Coaching and Coaching Sessions to help people take on the marathon distance and connect with their true potential.
We all have so much potential within us, in terms of what we can achieve and how we can get there - and the world needs more of what each of us has to offer!
Let me sign you a copy of my book and be sure to subscribe to weekly inspiration and goal tips!
Yours in possibility and life,
Alexandra.
