In 2010, I went on a roadtrip with my mom to the Carolinas. Outside of Asheville, we visited the Biltmore, the stunning and enormous mansion built by George Vanderbilt. Several years later, my husband and I bought our duplex in Indianapolis. In a moment grandiose self-deprecation, we dubbed it Gladmore. I immediately poured a lot of heart into making it a home, from hanging art to painting the kitchen turquoise to outfitting the powder room with a mermaid theme.
As I began my coaching journey in 2023, the word “Sanctuary” became very meaningful to me. I recognized my innate ability to be a sanctuary for others, in my love, support, and celebration of them. It also struck me that as someone who ended up living near the place I grew up, I have become part of the hometown sanctuary for friends who visit from out of town.
I’ve also realized the need to be a sanctuary for myself, not just others. Since I draw comfort from my home, it seemed fitting to name my business Gladmore Coaching, reflecting sanctuary, and of course some levity.
