About me
Are you living a life you love?
Hi. I’m Eileen Forrestal and I’m here to ask you the tough questions.
Life is short. “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” (Nelson Mandela)
Having overcome my own fears and stepped out from the shadows into a ‘purpose inspired’ life, my mission is to encourage others to identify, break through and overcome their fears and step courageously into a new life, – happy and healthy — shining in the art of living.
“Why?
Because it’s important! We have one life. We have one opportunity to be who we are born to be and to make the unique contribution we are here to make.
How?
Work with me to discover what is ‘in the way’ of you being fully expressed in life, so you can be lit up by who you are and excited by what’s possible for your life.
When?
You choose.
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ― Anais Nin.
My Story …
…is in my book The Courage to Shine (opens in a new browser tab).
While I did everything I knew to do to hide my stammer and avoid being found out, the fear of embarrassment stopped me everywhere. That fear kept me silent in order to hide my voice – and I too (sadly) remained hidden. I’m not hiding now!
Without a voice, my self expression in the world .. something was missing.
Me!!
I now use my voice to encourage you to use yours, and be true to who you really are. Authentic self-expression is essential to a fulfilled life—and, through the ‘miracle’ of coaching, I found mine.
I retired from my medical career in 2014 to devote my time to creating the Get Up and Go Diaries, Journal and Events, inspiring and motivating thousands of people around the world with words of wisdom and encouragement.
In 2021, I published my memoire, sharing my personal journey to self expression. This is where I truly discovered the healing power of words.
Having spent 20 years as an Anaesthesiologist “putting people to sleep”, I am now “waking people up”!
My medical background taught me about illness and disease and my coaching skills give me different tools to support health, wellbeing and peace of mind, with freedom and ease.
My mission is to encourage you to live your best one-and-only life, right now.
Are you ready to live the life you have been dreaming of?
And… if you are interested in world peace, or ending world hunger or some other such fanciful notions, join me on my 50 Coffee Adventure and see where a conversation could take us.
