This platform is dedicated to guiding, assisting, inspiring and empowering women to develop the skills to overcome difficulties and be stronger and more confident. To thrive not just survive. It is my mission and my passion.
My name is Vicki Stamml. I am a 62-year-old mother of two grown children; married since 1993. My son is 30 and my daughter is 27. My life has not been perfect. I don’t know whose life has been. My passion to guide, inspire, and empower women comes from my own story which I share through my blog. In August 2022, I turned 60 years old. My mom passed away at 60 in 1999. Since then I have been very aware and very sensitive to getting older; at that time, I was 36 years old. I have had many difficult times in my life and getting through my mom’s death was one of them.
In March 2018, I retired from a 35-year career and wondered what to do now with my life. I was able to retire at 55 1/2 years old. I knew what I didn’t want: to sit on a rocking chair all day or watch television 24/7. I may have retired but I was not tired. I was restless. Restless to do more. To discover what I did want to do, in September 2018 I joined a Making Changes program at the Women’s Centre of York Region; five 10-week sessions led by a facilitator (a Life Skills Coach). This program changed my life. I am reinventing myself and living my passions.
Women Rising Above is a passion project. I became a Life Skills Coach and an Activation™ Method Life Coach (and in training to be an Activation™ Method Group Coach) to support, guide, and inspire women around the world. I share my personal rising-above stories through my blog. I also share inspirational life quotes by women, inspirational life poems, and inspirational life stories.
Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated. Your guidance and support help develop more useful information for you and other women around the world.
Welcome!!!
