Welcome to The Discovery Well!
Written by Kendall Bergman
Thank you for stopping by. In the midst of a very strange year, I decided to leave my position at one of the largest cancer non-profits in the country to launch a dream. The Discovery Well is the culmination of that dream.
As a coach and consultant, I am here to listen, support, champion, encourage and provide accountability as you traverse your own path of discovery, change and transformation. Before you decide I might be trustworthy (and inquire further) I want to share a bit about myself.
Here goes…some raw honesty. At various points along my journey, I’ve experienced dissatisfaction, confusion and frustration. I’ve been stuck in jobs that were unfulfilling. Struggled with challenging workplace dynamics and relationships. Stayed in more than one romantic relationship that was taking more than it was giving. Wrestled with developing and maintaining meaningful and trusting friendships. The list goes on and on. During these difficult seasons, hope as a constant north star often didn’t seem possible.
Reflecting on these things, I can see now that I doubted myself way too often, stayed silent when I could have spoken up, and was more afraid of failing than taking risk. As a result, I consistently tried to make myself smaller. Continuing this way became untenable. As I sought help from therapists, coaches, friends and mentors, tiny seeds of desire for a bigger life began to take root and grow into hope that sustains, transforms and potentially transcends actual circumstances.
It is imperative to emphasize that I didn’t do this alone or in isolation. Loved ones encouraged and challenged. Therapists sat with me. Spiritual directors reminded that God is and that love abounds. Coaches and mentors championed me and encouraged me to dream big. To reiterate, transformative change is truly possible and it always occurs within the context of relationship.
In pursuit of hope that is constant, I’ve studied, worked, practiced and picked up tools along the way that increased my resilience, transformed my soul and ultimately saved my life. It is my belief that these tools are transferable, teachable and beneficial to others.
If you’re a questioner. If you’re confused. If you feel disconnected (from yourself and others). If you feel uninspired. If you believe your creativity is gone forever. If you long for more. If you are petrified of longing for more. If you’re settling for less. If you feel like no one understands…you are not alone.
Many of us find ourselves in these valleys…deserts…wastelands. And we don’t know what to do, where to turn and how to move toward something more vital.
Are you ready to discover the beauty, strength and hope that already lives within you? If you are searching for more…for meaning and purpose…for a shift in perspective…for a change in situation and circumstance, I’m here for you.
