I’m Seonaid (pronounced Show-nah) Lee, and my path to Regenerative Coaching began long before I built this website. Years ago, I was a grad student in physics, working in a lab and teaching math to young engineers. My goal was to prove that women could succeed (and excel!) in science and engineering. 

But I soon began to wonder if engineering alone was having as much of an impact on changing the world as I had hoped. Plus, like many other young people, I was pulled in many different directions personally and professionally. With so many needs and wants consuming my everyday, I was overwhelmed, exhausted and conflicted about where my energy would be best spent. 

My conflict would last for years. I found myself spread thin, trying to take on the world’s ills, while still trying to find time for my friends, my downtime and my life. One day, I drew a picture with "Trying to Be Normal" on one side and "Trying to be Whole" on the other. In between was a "Chasm of Despair." I had finally visualized my conflict, and I realized that I wanted to build bridges between these two sides because frankly, the conflict sucks. 

Now, I’m giving you the short version here, but basically I took more control over my time. I found my balance between my life goals and my life. And also came to the conclusion that I DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALL. I found support in my network of friends, and found out how to rest, not quit. 

I want to live in a more beautiful world. I took an Enlightened Society Vow, and this is the contribution I feel called to make. This is the change I want to see in the world; that people are deeply held and know that their beauty is grounded in a kinder, gentler world where it’s not hard to make good (ethical, humane) choices, because we’ve brought them into form.

But that’s only going to develop if LOTS of us are empowered with the inner power and willingness to effect that change. And if we can do it in communities of deep support, not one by one. I want a world of deep connection and support, and I want to help make it available for as many people as possible. That’s why I began this business, and that’s what I want to contribute to you. Let’s work together to make this world a better place for all of us to thrive.
