We’ve set aside some time today for you to get to know Megan a little better. \u00a0I’ve interviewed Megan recently, and we want to share that interview with you! \u00a0May I introduce Megan Smidt, CCLC<\/strong><\/em>….<\/p>\n Where were you born?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lynwood, CA.<\/p>\n Out of all the places that you have lived, which one is your most favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n Tennessee!!! I love having seasons and the people here are amazing.<\/p>\n What were you like as a teenager?<\/strong><\/p>\n I was\u2026 ME! \u00a0I loved music, singing, reading, writing, and being with my friends. I wore every color at the same time and I certainly danced to the beat of my own drum. I guess I haven\u2019t changed too much since then!<\/p>\n Did you go to college? If so, what degree(s) do you hold?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, I went to Fullerton College right out of high school and earned an AA degree in Liberal Studies. I then transferred to CSU, Fullerton where I earned Bachelors of Arts degrees in English and Women\u2019s Studies. I went back to school and earned my Christian Life Coaching Certification from PCCCA in 2011.<\/p>\n Tell us about some of the jobs that you have held over the years, and which one is your most favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n My first job was \u201cmagazine manager\u201d at B.Dalton Booksellers when I was 16. From there, I was manager and buyer for a Papyrus store, and retail manager for Hallmark Creations, Ice Accessories, and Victoria’s Secret. I was a manager and scheduler for Bank of America and most recently, I am Personal Assistant to Yancy (www.yancynotnancy.com<\/a>) and, I \u201cwork\u201d as a Certified Christian Life Coach.<\/p>\n It is hard to pick a favorite because there are things about most of those jobs that I loved, but I would say that working for Yancy has been a whole lot of fun and I LOVE helping people grow in their walk with the Lord and in their life in general as a life coach.<\/p>\n If you could have lunch with anyone that is living or has passed on, who would it be? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n Oh, that\u2019s a tough one! I would have to say my gramma. I miss her terribly and even though I had a lot of time with her here on earth, I miss our talks so much that to have one more would just be wonderful.<\/p>\n If money was not an object, and you could do anything that you wanted to do and know that you would not fail, what would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n I would travel around the world helping as many people as I could come to have an intimate relationship with God and intentionally live the life God has called them to live. I pray that Craig, our kids and family could join me along the way!<\/p>\n What is your most favorite thing about blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n Encouraging people to intentionally live the life that God has called them to live.<\/p>\n Tell us how you came to be a Christian Life Coach.<\/strong><\/p>\n God told me to. I had been fired from my job and let myself be still and wait for God to show me what He wanted me to do. He showed me this and I had no clue what it even was! So, I began looking into it and, after 6 months of prayer and research, I found the perfect program for what God had shown me. I became certified and have loved every minute of this journey living out my calling!<\/p>\n If there was one piece of advice that you could give the women of Girlfriends Coffee Hour, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n Do not be content to merely survive! God calls us to a life filled with joy where we are content in every season. It IS possible or God would not command it in His Word! It takes diligence and intentional living to make it happen but, with God, all things are possible!<\/p>\n![\"megan\"](\"http:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/megan.jpg\")
