Empowering Women: A Transformation Coach's Commitment to Female Growth and Happiness

What's up, my friend, and welcome to Grit Grace and Inspiration.

I'm your host, Kevin Lowe.

Twenty years ago, I awoke from a life-saving surgery only to find that I was left completely blind.

And since that day, I've learned a lot about life, a lot about living, and a lot about myself.

And here on this podcast, I want to share those insights with you.

Because, friend, if you are still searching for your purpose, still trying to understand why, or still left searching for that next right path to take, well, consider this to be your stepping stone to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

What's happening, my friend, and welcome back to Grit Grace and Inspiration.

I am your host, Kevin Lowe, as well as Transformation Coach.

Today I am geared up and ready to dive into a topic that explores the idea of who I am, what I'm about, and being proud of it.

I've honestly found it surprising at the amount of people who ask the question of why do I choose to only work with women?

And they ask it in a very kind of negative context.

And they uh follow it up by asking, why would a woman choose to work with me over another woman?

Now, ironically enough, these questions asked have never been asked by one of my clients before.

No, they've typically always been asked by either somebody in the marketing realm who I have spoken to, or maybe a family member or friend, or somebody who just doesn't quite get it.

And to be quite honest, the questions have really kind of taken me aback, especially in this day and age.

I'm like, really?

It seems weird to you.

So weird that you would ask that question.

And well, it got on my mind so much that it prompted today's episode.

Because inside of today's episode, not only am I going to explain exactly why I have chosen in my coaching business to work with women, but I'm also going to bring it back to you in understanding why this whole thing even matters in the first place.

So that is today's episode.

If you are ready, let's dive in.

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt literally helpless?

You felt paralyzed by fear, paralyzed by just not knowing what to do, if you could do anything at all.

And so what you ended up doing was nothing.

And since that moment, if you have had one of those moments, how many times have you relived it?

How many times have you thought, gosh, if I had only done something, maybe I could have made a difference.

I should have done something.

And you beat yourself up for it.

For myself, I found myself in this situation, in this cycle of years and years reliving this situation in my dreams, in my nightmares, always wishing that I had the courage to do something.

I wish I had the courage, the bravery to stand up and defend my mom, to defend my sister against a man who had caused so much harm to my family.

That was at the time it was my stepfather.

He was the source of so much pain in my family.

And I have regretted not being able to do something, not being able to quote unquote save my mom from that situation.

And for so many years, that literally has haunted me in my sleep.

And it was only through the grace of God that one day I was finally able to move on.

I was able to finally forgive him.

And I was able to move on with my life.

Because, well, that's the power of forgiveness, is that really it's us who it benefits.

By us being able to forgive the person, it lets that off of our shoulders.

And it was only through the grace of God that I was able to do that.

Now, let me share how this relates to what I'm talking about.

Because I want to share a revelation that I had that ties this all together.

Going back to that question at the beginning of today's episode of why would I choose to work with women, I've always had an answer for it.

I've been on many podcast interviews when this gets brought up.

And I always explain in a joking fashion that, well, I guess I kind of give it credit to growing up with an older sister, a mom hanging out with my sister and her friends, my mom and all her girlfriends, watching chick flicks, watching those lovely LMN movies.

And well, I don't know.

I guess I should have known back then that it was going to have some type of influence on me later in life.

And that's honest to goodness, what I thought for a long time is why I chose that I really prefer to work with women in my coaching business.

But then one day it hit me.

It was a random day.

I believe it was probably middle of the week.

I'm at home folding laundry, had a podcast playing.

I can't remember what the podcast was.

I can't remember the story of the guest who was being interviewed on this podcast.

And I can't even remember what this person said.

And yet there was something that this person said that it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Literally, it was like somebody turned on the light switch.

Now, that might seem a little bit funny coming from a guy who is blind, but uh you just keep rolling with me.

Literally, it was like the light was turned on.

And I could see it all so clearly.

That is why.

That is why I have been so compelled to want to help women as a coach.

I couldn't save my mom.

I couldn't stand up for my sister.

But maybe I could help somebody else.

Now I'm no relationship coach, but I can certainly help a woman get unstuck from the career she's in, from the seasonal life she's in that is no longer serving her, from this chapter of her life that she wants to end, but she just needs the reassurance that it's gonna be okay to finally turn the page.

That's why I chose to work with women.

I was taking a bad situation and using it for good.

And I think that is how we flip the script on life.

And that's how we turn bad situations into good.

And we all make it end up working out in the end.

And so now today I get to work with women.

Yes, I am proud to say that I am a transformation coach specializing in helping women to create, to embrace, and to step into their next best chapter of life.

I do it all through my signature coaching process called Arise.

And so for the person who asks me in a derogatory fashion, why would a woman choose to work with you over another woman?

Or why in the world would you choose to work with women?

Well, that's the answer.

Now, I personally don't feel like I need to explain all of that to them because I don't.

And that kind of goes back to the bigger picture of this episode is that aren't we in a place in today's society where none of that matters?

I thought that's what it was supposed to all be about, is that we're all supposed to see each other as just other people, not as somebody different than anyone else.

And so I've chose to stand out as me, as a guy, a big dude with a beard, who, yes, I choose to coach women.

And there's nothing weird or strange or odd about it, and I'm proud to say it, because well, that's just who I am.

Now, I say all this, but I guess I would like to ask you, what do you think?

When you go out looking for help with something, do you seek out help from only people of the same gender as you?

Of the same, I don't know, characteristics that you have?

Me?

No.

I mean, what I pay attention to is being sure that it's somebody that I relate to, somebody who I admire, somebody who I share a personality trait with.

That's what I pay attention to.

I don't go out thinking, oh, nope, that's a woman only working with men.

Oh, nope, that guy, he's way too young.

Nope, that dude, he's way too old.

No, I don't think about any of that.

And I can't imagine that many people do.

We just look for somebody who we connect with.

And that's what I hope to do with the people who I work with, with the amazing women that I help.

Is that I hope that the women who work with me, who choose to work with me, do so because they connect with me and they see that, hey, I think he can help me.

And that's really what it's all about.

And so I would love for you to really focus on how this can be applied to your own life.

How can you stand out above the rest?

How can you swim upstream when everybody else is floating down?

Because it's so easy for us to just get lost in the crowd.

It's so easy for us to listen to other people, to pay attention to the tone in their voice and be like, oh wow, they're right.

I'm standing out, I'm awkward, and be embarrassed and ashamed of it.

And so we retreat and we just go doing what everybody else is doing because we want to blend in.

Well, I'm here to tell you that that is no way to live.

Blending in is so boring.

Don't blend in.

Don't listen to those people.

You do you and let them do them.

And if they get a little bit too noisy, well, maybe it's time for you to put in some earplugs and turn up the volume and tune them out because it's about you, your life, and you doing you.

So for today's short little episode, I just wanted to make it clear.

Yes, I am Kevin Lowe, a transformation coach.

And yes, I specialize in helping women.

That's it.

Period.

No excuses, no explanation.

That's it.

And I hope you can be just like that in your own life.

Whoever you are, whoever you want to be, like to be, the things you do, the things you like or don't like, stand up for it, be proud of it.

And hey, let's all just keep living and enjoying life like it was meant to be.

With all of that said, if you are a woman who are looking to step into a new chapter of life, well, I invite you to set up a call with me.

This is totally free, no sales call, no pressure, just literally a free 30-minute phone call and let's talk and figure out what you've got going on in life and see if I can't offer some value in helping you to ultimately get to where you want to be.

All you have to do is head on down to today's show notes inside of this episode, and you can find a link to my online calendar, and it will be easy as that.

With that said, I hope you have an amazing day.

Thank you for being an awesome fan of the podcast, and I will see you inside of the next episode.
