Today we’d like to introduce you to Grecia Binder.
Hi Grecia, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My name is Grecia Binder. Life has taken me in different directions to discover myself and my purpose. The beginning of my growth was when a separation in my marriage led me to discover a book called “A Course in Miracles”.
The lessons were so eye-opening to see life in such a different perspective. I learned the positive impact we can generate in others when we start with ourselves, by questioning beliefs, especially the limiting ones, then shifting them in order to find peace and live in harmony.
After years of practicing, I felt the need to share with others. I guided groups of brave women for two consecutive years. Seeing the breakthroughs these women had and changes they did in their life, made me feel so fortunate and grateful to be able to see them grow.
The learning of forgiveness, and lightness of seeing life from a place of love gave me so much fulfillment during those years, that was so revealing, that it empowered me to support more people to overcome their blockages.
It allowed me to discover my new purpose; making a difference and creating an impact in people’s personal development, evolution and conscious awareness.
This clarity led me to my path of becoming a Life Coach and seeking the support of Accomplishment Coaching for training to be a certified Life Coach. My growth continued where I was able to relinquish control, and see what was holding me back. I also worked on my perfectionism, and thanks to my Coach, I was able to break through and become more accepting where the little things no longer disempower me.
That’s how “Essenza Life Coaching” was born.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
As a Mexican woman living in the U.S., adapting to a new culture, language, and professional environment has been a significant learning curve. It’s been an immense change; one I embraced for my own growth.
In my journey I discovered my passion was supporting people living their lives in awareness. So I wanted to become a Life Coach.
But for a long time, I believed people wouldn’t understand me or take me seriously because of my accent. I didn’t feel enough, so I kept putting off my dream and playing small for fear of rejection and failure.
One day I was having coffee with my Life Coach and told her I wanted to be a life coach. She asked me what’s in the way? I shared my fear of not feeling enough because of my accent and she asked. How long are you going to make all those people wait to create an impact in their lives? From that moment my perception shifted into my purpose and I focused on the impact I could generate in others more than my personal fear.
Working with my coach I’ve shifted that narrative. I see my worth, I’ve learned to love myself, and embraced the power of my uniqueness. I’ve stopped worrying about what others think. Putting myself out there doesn’t make me perfect—it makes me more human, more vulnerable, and more real.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I offer Ontological coaching, is a powerful methodology that studies the way of being. As a life coach I partner up with you during the sessions and we get to explore what’s the desired goal you would like to achieve in your career, your relationship or any area of your life for that matter.
We’ll begin by getting pinpoint clarity on your most important goals in your life. We’ll dig deep to uncover any unconscious patterns that may be getting in the way of you achieving what you want, and together, we’ll partner to come up with a structured action plan that will allow you to see the results much faster. Then we measure your success along the way and celebrate together.
These are just some of the benefits you can experience with coaching;
Discover your purpose in life.
Shift the way you are being in a particular situation and transform your experience.
Explore your beliefs and make conscious decisions
Identify patterns that keep you stuck.
Empowers you to take action on the things you know you should be doing.
Connects you to your higher self.
Empowers you to make quicker decisions.
And so much more, the possibilities are endless.
What sets me apart from others? Past clients have shared that my nurturing demeanor helps them feel comfortable working with me and they feel in a safe space to be vulnerable. As Mexican, I’m bilingual, which allows me to support Latin leaders living in the U.S. more effectively and authentically.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
I’m incredibly grateful to the Life Coaches who supported me on my journey of self-discovery and business development. Thank you to Barb Kendall and Matthew Westbrook for helping me find clarity in my purpose and succeed in a career that brings me so much joy and fulfillment.
I also want to express my appreciation to Andria Taylor, founder of Mentor Collective, and to June An — two amazing business mentors whose guidance has been instrumental in my growth and success as a Leader and Life Coach.
