Today we’d like to introduce you to Ariana Malilay.
Ariana, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Many would say that I am an old soul, and I can identify with that. From a young age, I was naturally gravitated towards the intellectual side of life. I was obsessed with personal development. I understood that knowledge was power, wisdom was happiness and truth was freedom. These pursuits were what gave me meaning. However, it wasn’t until recent years that I truly started embodying all these concepts.
As a teenager, I found myself seeking approval and recognition. I sought for external factors to fulfill my happiness and worthiness. Every decision was rooted in a place of fear, which led me to pursue an unfulfilling career which required a version of me that was not authentic.
After many life challenging situations, I knew it was time to re-write my story. I no longer strive to limit my challenges; instead, I consciously challenge my limits and old beliefs by questioning their truth. Over the years, one thing remained the same and that was my indescribable passion to help people find true freedom and happiness. I truly believe that true freedom is found when the mental transformation matches the physical transformation.
I now get to help people claim not only their physical health back but also their mental health. I get to help people find their life purposes, turn into the best possible versions of themselves and live the lives of their dreams.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely has not been a smooth road, but I have been able to embrace every part of it.
The biggest obstacle I’ve ever had to overcome in my life has actually been my own perspective — the lies I used to tell myself about why I wasn’t achieving my dreams. I consider myself an introvert, which made it so hard to want to step out of the background. However, at some point I understood that hiding my true essence was creating a massive disservice to not only myself but the rest of the world.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
My mission is to help people find a clear purpose in their life, release limited beliefs, and start taking actionable steps. As a life coach, I get to be an instrument in helping people to develop a fresh perspective on the situation they might be facing, explore their current reality and find positive ways to make changes and move forwards. I am also here to maintain the highest level of integrity and unbiased opinion.
Because I want to be able to serve at the highest level, I have stepped back from coaching to fully work on myself. During the 2019 year, I will be working on obtaining a certification that will help me provide deeper value to my clients. However, in the meantime I love connecting with the community and being of service in anyway that I can.
I can say what sets me apart is my honesty and willingness to create a sustainable difference in my client’s life. I am so grateful to be in this inward journey, as it has allowed me to inspire others to do the same. I encourage any of you who are currently feeling ‘stuck’ to reach out, and tune in for coaching soon!
What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
Personally, my proudest moment was actually taking the leap to pursue what I love and leave my limited beliefs behind. I get to be so extremely proud of myself for this because now I get to help others do the same. It fills my heart with joy seeing my clients overcome circumstances that once felt unbeatable.
