About annette & the WEW™ project
Hello Gorgeous!!!
Do you ever ask yourself, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?...Your playing small does not serve the world.
Welcome to the Well-Empowered Woman™ Project. Welcome home to your body, mind and soul. You deserve to feel every bit of brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. So what's stopping you?
so nice to meet you!
I am Annette Kohls, Personal Potential and Women's Empowerment Coach. In my 25 plus years of coaching, I have had the incredible pleasure of empowering women and helping them reclaim their authentic potential by using the tools already within them to come into their grace and power. I can't even believe I get to help women fall in love with their own mind, body and spirit each and every day!
Rather than saying "in spite of" I prefer to say "because of" challenges I've faced, I am the woman I am today. It was a cumulation of challenging circumstances that brought me to where I am today. My journey is far but over, and it just keeps getting better with time and experience! What makes me feel so lucky, you ask?
because...
- I use to doubt even the image in the mirror looking back at me
- I spent years at absolute WAR with my body; that I will share more about because it's such a critical part of our relationship with self
- I have endured years of abuse in both childhood and marital relationships; sexual and mental/emotional.
- I lived most of my life in fight, flight or denial and suffered all of the consequences that went along with that.
- I never felt like I belonged in the family I was born to...I was the black sheep and forever went against the grain. Still do...
So, if you can relate to any of the above, I've got your back, sister! You are NOT alone. You CAN take charge of every area of you life that's been holding you back from living life to the fullest! It's definitely possible. My own journey is proof positive that it's doable for each and everyone of us because it's already within us to make it happen. I'll share a little more about my journey so you get a better understanding of how it all ties into the birth of the Well-Empowered Woman™ Project...
First of all, you have to know that my journey has been one of those resilience breakthroughs...
One thing I have come to find is that my entire journey has set me up to become a powerful voice that will not only affect a dynamic experience, but will affect change in those who seek it. That being said, in order to do so I need to share the most poignant and relevant stories and experience.
Another thing for sure, no matter the challenges I've faced, I've always lead with a steadfast curiosity and I never met a struggle I wasn't willing to face head on. My path was by no accident. I've had the honor of taking my experiences, internalizing them, learning from them and teaching/sharing from my heart and soul...
Over the years...
...and countless hours doing ‘the work,’ I learned a lot. ..
...my family wasn’t perfect, nor is anyone else's. But I karmically chose them, as they were a part of my journey.
...there wasn’t anything wrong with me, I just had a ton of spiritual healing to get through.
...my past wasn’t something I needed to be stuck in - it was actually just the blueprint for my purpose.
I also learned that love doesn’t = pain.
I realized I AM the creator of my reality, but my traumas and limiting beliefs were running the show.
And it took me a lot of ‘falls’ to wake up.
It took that next layer to crack me open to see what was inside...
You know that whole, ‘peel the onion back layer by layer’ kind of thing?
Yep... Healing really does happen this way.
Another layer of growth revealed, cracked wide open.
As if I heard a voice say..."From here you will unravel the web of everything you are not, to return back to the Truth Of Who You Are."
It’s from these bittersweet, revolutionary moments we come ALIVE.
It led me deeper into my purpose and helped me come out from the rubble of shame and blame I'd held onto my entire life.
From there and to this day, I continue unlocking everything I had kept beneath the surface..
i held it and got really real with myself on all fronts...
And not because I had to, but because I chose to.
And from that point forward,
my narrative changed.
I no longer played victim.
I owned my story and my choices.
I went on a deep path of self discovery and excavation.
I, with no hesitation, did everything I could to create the freedom and life I desired.
Most importantly, I held the damn belief.
That it was possible. And possible for ME.
No matter what!
Instead of chasing perfection, I made Remembering my mission. And I continue to go to great lengths to take back my freedom and step into absolute empowered embodiment...
Which brings me to my ‘title’ & ‘work’ today…
I was born a writer and a fighter...as far back as I can remember I loved writing stories and fighting for the underdogs, those who were misunderstood and didn't fit in, myself included.
I went on to be a college professor and professional speaker, to teach others to find their voice, their creative force. Then I found my real fight in martial arts. I became a jiujitiera and found that working at leveraging an opponent's own body weight against them made me feel powerful beyond measure.. Until it didn't...and one day my shoulder ripped apart. It was then that I traded in my jiu jitsu mats for a yoga mat.
yoga became my new superpower...
Yoga became my new superpower and helped me find my blueprint that was the missing link for my fullest potential to helping others find their way.
Now, I guide women to Reclaim their innate power on every level and through every layer of Who They Really Are through my personally founded methodology in the Well-Empowered Woman™ Project.
This is more than coaching.
It’s more than health.
More than business.
More than I ever knew was possible.
It's beyond words...
It's about reclaiming the lost parts of you and reminding you of your wholeness.
Because when you are in your wholeness, you can understand your authentic truth and live life on your terms...when you are in your wholeness, you are in your knowing, and everything opens up for you...
