Are you living your life's TRUE passion?

Contentment needn't be so elusive…

When fully present in the moment, your inner voice becomes your guide. 

Notice how symbols, hidden messages & mysteries reveal themselves?

Do you see that irony - at once both cruel & delightful - is what surrounds us?

Irony is the (Jungian) shadow’s voice, helping us discern what is truly important.

~ WHAT is idfigures®? 

Hoping to captivate the more cynical (read: interesting) client, idfigures® diverges from the personal coaching norm. It’s not my style to overflow with optimism. I believe my clients benefit from a real-world perspective.
 

Have you been thinking lately: if only something could be all about ME? 

It’s not selfish to want the BEST for your body, mind and spirit; it’s not too much to ask to feel goodevery day and sleep well at night.
 

The idfigures® mission is client-directed. The sweetest thing (in my opinion) about coaching is this: the client has ALL the answers already! 

As for me, I coax these answers to the surface. I listen. I ask questions. I make requests. We laugh. We cry. We confide. We study. We strategize. We resolve…and YOU move forward…
 

Some topics we may touch upon include: 

• gaining a new, self-accepting perspective 
• embracing life's obstacles as opportunities for growth 
• knowing your options and their likely consequences 
• building motivation 
• overcoming procrastination 
• gathering momentum
• time/space management 
• instinct "whispering" 
• shadow work
• dream(s) analysis 
• aligning your values with your sense of integrity 

~ WHO is idfigures®? 

~ I'm Cathy Carter. I’m in my mid-60s and live outside Boulder, Colorado. 

~ The concept behind idfigures® is what I've come to accept as reality: like it or not, the (Jungian) id always gets its say. It’s also a little jeu de mots on ID or identity; that is, let’s figure out who we really are and bring that reality into our day-to-day.

~ I'm not a therapist or a psychiatrist. I’ve studied coaching but I’m not certified. (You will sign a waiver, even though I will do NO harm.) I have a BA in English and French (double major) and an MBA in marketing, though before I’d fully earned my MBA I had realized my life’s focus would NOT be manipulating others’ behavior so that they buy more stuff! Instead, I aspire to help others and myself through CONNECTION and shared WISDOM.
 

~ My clientele are individuals seeking MORE: better health, stronger relationships, clearer focus, job satisfaction, a deeper mind-body-spirit connection.

~ My clientele are individuals seeking LESS: lower stress, fewer conflicts, less isolation, anger, anxiety and that pervading sense of constant struggle.

~ I'm entrepreneurial but have spent many years working for others. I resist blindly following convention and, while I seek connection with like-minded folks, I am very keen to understand the reasoning and motivations of those with whom I disagree. While we’re “all in this together” we are, at the very same time, becoming quite different from one another, depending on which “diet” we follow to meet our information and entertainment needs; I do consider idfigures® my legacy; working for oneself is brave and crazy; I can't imagine doing anything else.

~ An aspect of idfigures® that is both challenging and IMPERATIVE is this:

I offer NO connection to social media. I don’t want you to “share” idfigures® with 

anyone! I value my PRIVACY and I value yours! You’ve found me through MAGICAL means not the algorithm. I don’t want the world’s attention (nor its scrutiny) and this is a SAFE space disconnected from the crazy. 

~ If I come to TRUST you, I will provide access to my podcast. It’s usually me just raging or raving about something, and it’s something I do for MYSELF, so I guess it’s not really a podcast, as it’s not widely cast… 

~ idfigures® also integrates my lifelong fascination with the metaphysical world. In my coaching and my life, I am guided by my INTUITION. 

~ The tools I use include Tarot, feng shui, color theory, gems & crystals, candle magick, herbal remedies, aromatherapy, numerology, the iChing, astrology, the Chinese zodiac, symbolism, dream analysis, archetypes…this list just keeps growing!

~ During the crazier years of the coronavirus (covid’s still on in this house; my husband’s survived cancer twice!) I found the 12-Step online community; therein lies the ANSWER! In working the 12-Steps daily, I have learned that personal integrity MUST be my guide.
 

~ Coaching affords a SAFE haven where we can focus on ourselves and what we really want our lives to BE! We've come to terms with our past. (While I’m not a therapist, I thrivein therapy!) How do we cope with the modern world? Dare we dream beyond just coping? YES!
 

~ I find it tremendously helpful to connect with my coach. I hope that with me you will feel a similar HEALTHY connection! ~ Cathy
