Do you feel stuck in your life right now? Are you wondering what is your life purpose or if you are on the right path? Sometimes we feel we are playing small or not on the "right track", and other times, we may feel we are going through life in motion, but not exactly present or becoming the best version of ourselves. If any of these describe your current state of mind or feeling, then this interview may be a great pick-me-up to energise you and give you some clarity that you need. I interviewed Terry Kerr a while back, but our conversation is timeless and I have no doubt the content applies to us many times in life. Teri Kerr is an ICF certified Executive Coach through Royal Roads University and a graduate of the Purpose Project™. She lives in Victoria BC with her husband Jeff, a revolving door of teenagers, her beloved golden mountain dog Indy, and a one-eyed cat named Tallie. You can connect with Teri via her website: https://unstuckduck.ca/ Feeling you may like give coaching a go? You can find out more about personal coaching with Sze Wing here. Achieving a goal or solving a problem is ONLY the by-product or “side-effects” of coaching. The magic is in your own discovery about yourself, a deeper awareness about your strengths & desires, and knowing what strategy actually works for you going forward in life. Interview Highlights: The idea of "Unstuck Duck" - helping women to get out of their corporate job into entrepreneurshipFrom Super Busy Mum to the journey of Surviving Cancer"Be More You" - why bringing more joy  and fulfilment into your life is so importantTrying to fit in or stepping into others' shoes may make us forget who we areWe don't need to go through life with a "elbows up" a power through approach - sometimes it works better for us if we can soften instead of hardening our exterior to approach our lifeBe aware when we start to go through life in motion, but not really present in it, we may lose touch with who we are or our spouse/partnerHow to cultivate a sense of awareness to become more conscious in our lifeWays to spot red flags when we are disconnected from our loved onesHow do you want to be remembered - write your own eulogyChanging Lane: Start with reflecting on how life is working out (or not) and then creating new habits and experiencesWe don't have a choice of what happens to us, but we have a choice of how we react to it and move forward through it.How do you want your next 30 years to look like?Playing Big - your greatness lies in the small day-to-day, moment-by-moment decisions. You have a choice in every moment, how you think, feel and act base on who you want to be now and in the future.Living on purpose is a muscle that needs to be trained and exercised regularly.Living life is like collecting data, one step at a time, to figure it all outRemember other people's opinion or expectation is just theirs, you need to do you and know what works for you instead of trying to please everyone.Why we need to be aware not to get too attached to our stories, or to be right.

I'm really excited to talk to my new friend - Terry Kerr and what's so special about today's interview is that we just met not long ago and she's actually living in Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. And it works out the time zone is actually pretty easy for us to connect. I'm so excited because you know, it's always lovely to talk to someone from far away from Australia and especially during COVID-19 these days we cannot travel. So this is really exciting for me to talk to someone not from my continent. So a little bit about Terry she's a coach, I think executive coach and empowerment strategies is more the accurate term. She's also an artist, hockey mom, cancer survivor , speaker and creative warrior. And I think many of us actually share similar interests or life goals in this community who are listening and watch...
