Living the human experience is a beautiful, complex journey. It's filled with peaks and valleys of pleasure and pain, both physical and emotional. It seems so simple when we're children, but things change as we grow: we begin to form our own opinions, develop romantic relationships, build a career, and work our way through life. With age comes maturity and personal development, but all too often, we grow older without learning how to manage and accept our emotions, thoughts, and relationships. This causes us to get stuck, and for some, they then stay stuck - trapped in a vicious cycle of self-doubt, judgement and negativity.

Sound familiar? If so, ask yourself if you are suffering from any of the following:

Unresolved childhood trauma
Grief, loss, and betrayals in life that you can't get past
Harmful patterns that keep you stuck in a rut, with no hope of moving forward
Anxiety about your personal or work life
Anger, insecurity, and stress that gets the best of you
Codependency and people pleasing-problems that leave you emotionally bankrupt
Family or romantic relationship issues that you can't handle or resolve
Negative thoughts and self-criticizing problems equating to "I'm not good enough" and "I can't succeed."
Overthinking and racing thoughts that distract you during the day and keep you up at night
Lack of motivation or purpose in your life
Low self-worth, self-love, and lack of personal development

If you're struggling because you aren't sure what to do next or how to change your life for the better, know that you aren't alone. Millions of people just like you aren't where they want to be in life. Fortunately, your personal growth life coach in Catalina Foothills, AZ, is here to help you reimagine, refocus, and rebuild your life for the better.

We All Suffer at Times. Now, Lets Do Something About It

If you're reading this page, chances are you're not exactly happy with how your life is going. And that's okay. You're in a safe place.

Finding the right person to speak with about the personal growth issues in your life is challenging. Some life coaches in Catalina Foothills only see you as a transaction - a means to make money and provide unhelpful, mediocre services. Christy Maxey is the anthesis of uneducated, fly-by-night life coaches. She has worked with thousands of people just like you and has built a reputation of helping people as their life coach in Catalina Foothills and throughout Arizona, as well as with clients all over the world.

As a former therapist, Christy uses an effective system of evidenced-based concepts, tools, and exercises like trauma-informed coaching, inner child healing and EMDR to uncover true self-worth. Christy's signature system, the Maxx Method, helps develop emotional intelligence and provides life-long skills that will help guide you in relationships with yourself and others.

Remember: you are not broken YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. There is nothing wrong with you. And, it doesn't have to take years of therapy to get the results you are hoping for

The Maxx Method Difference

Many people use go to therapy but see few results. They've tried reading books, listening to podcasts, and maybe even hired a life coach. But at the end of the day, they're still struggling with root issues that cause stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness.

Christy Maxey has developed The Maxx Method, an evidenced-based path to Personal Development, Healing and Emotional Intelligence. When you work with Christy Maxey as your life coach, you will spend your time together getting to the root cause of your problems. You'll answer questions like:

How are you holding yourself back?
What limiting beliefs do you have?
What are you resisting?
How are self-doubt and judgment keeping you stuck?
How is your past STILL affecting you now?
Where is your anxiety coming from?

Often, we don't know the answers to these questions without help. Unfortunately, many therapists and life coaches in Catalina Foothills, AZ lack focus. They encourage you to talk about your day, week, and month. They get a general sense of what is bothering you, but before any real work is done, your therapy session is over. In the end, you see few results and you're left reeling with more anxiety and stress than before.

Clients choose Christy Maxey as their personal development life coach because she gets right to the issues without wasting your time. She pulls on her vast experience to heal men and women of all ages, using traditional techniques from psychology and psychotherapy combined with results-oriented coaching. Christy always emphasizes honesty, compassion, and accountability, so you get real benefits and real efficiency with her coaching.

If you're ready to be re-introduced to your authentic self, your journey starts here.

Men's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Catalina Foothills, AZ

Men in today's society often fight against strong feelings of stress, anger, and self-defeating patterns that keep them stuck in a rut. Unfortunately, many men are socialized to ignore their feelings and inner experiences. As a men's therapist and life coach for more than 20 years, Christy Maxey has the techniques and experience to break down the barriers keeping men from living the life they want.

Men deserve compassion, but they also deserve high expectations and positive confrontation when necessary. Unlike some life coaches in Catalina Foothills, Christy's approach doesn't allow men to hide behind insecurity and grandiosity. Male clients choose Christy because she pushes them to live to their true potential without wasting time.

Coaching Men with Relationship Issues

Relationships don't always come easily and we are not taught how to have healthy, secure relationships. Challenges can be hard to overcome without help. If any of the following problems sound familiar, life coaching with Christy Maxey could be the solution:

Difficult Relating to Partner
Repeating Negative Patterns in Relationships
Feelings of Loneliness
Feeling Misunderstood

Coaching Men with Stress

Stress is the leading root cause of disease. Although men are taught to "just deal with it," that's not the best answer. With Christy Maxey as your life coach, you can address issues with:

No Appreciation for Hard Work
Pleasing Everyone Except Yourself
Exhaustion without Physical Activity
Feelings of Unhappiness and Lack of Motivation

Coaching Men with Anger

It's no wonder that men suffer from aggression and anger when we tell them to turn off their emotions. Life coaching can help you overcome:

Aggressive Behavior
Outbursts of Anger
Career Issues
Relationship Issues
Verbal Aggression and Abuse

If you're a man open to working through your problems to better yourself, there's good news. Christy Maxey's proven, efficient life coaching system can help you be the father, husband, friend, and self that you truly want to be. With the right tools and guidance, you can live life with less anger and stress. And with the right tools, you can focus on finding your voice without resorting to aggression.

Women's Personal Development Growth Coaching in Catalina Foothills, AZ

Women are beautiful, unique individuals. But many seem to suffer from the same universal theme - an inner critic that hinders true growth and sabotages them from a fulfilling, happy life.

As a therapist, Christy Maxey spent much of her time working directly with women just like you. Christy combines an incredible depth of knowledge and guidance with life coaching energy, uncovering your true potential as a woman, free of dysfunction.

Unfortunately, no matter what women do as mothers and employees, many believe that they're never good enough. They feel like they're not worthy, not lovable, and not strong.

If you feel like you're unworthy of success and happiness, it's time for a change. It's time to look in the mirror and take care of yourself, not someone else.

If you're ready to reclaim the life you deserve, your journey to success starts with women's life coaching in Catalina Foothills. Here are just a few areas that Christy Maxey helps women break free of the chains that keep them down:

Coaching Women Suffering from Pleasing & Codependency

Many women today do everything for everybody else but don't take time to heal or explore personal development. Personal development growth coaching from Christy Maxey can help you address these common issues:

Self-Medicating to Cover Up Feelings of Inadequacy
Feeling like You've Lost Yourself
People Taking Advantage of Your Kindness
Over-Providing for Others

Coaching Women with Unpleasant Emotions

Many women are unsure of how to untangle the mess of emotions they go through. Life coaching in Catalina Foothills can help you manage your emotions and find the clarity and love you need in your life. Does this sound like you?

Feelings of Shame and Guilt
Issues with Your Career or Job
Unhappiness with Others' Behaviors
Bouts of Sobbing That Lead to Anxiety and Depression

Coaching Women with Self-Confidence Issues

Though every life is valuable, society triggers many women to de-value themselves as they grow older. One of the core components of Christy's life coaching is to help women value who they are. Self-confidence can help by:

Highlighting Positive Attributes Over Shortcomings
Finding Solutions to Confidence Issues
Teaching You How to Love Yourself, Flaws and All
Giving You the Tools to Assert Yourself Without Guilt

If you're a woman and you're ready for change, we've got great news. Women's coaching with Christy is all about change and focus. It's active and experiential coaching that will keep you engaged and accountable to yourself. The result? A life bursting with happiness, fulfillment, and joy.

EMDR Coaching in Catalina Foothills, AZ

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, is a powerful technique used to heal people from distressing and disturbing life experiences. EMDR Coaching with Christy Maxey allows the mind to heal from psychological trauma much quicker than traditional therapy methods.

When we go through traumatic experiences, we often associate those events with negative beliefs and emotions like feelings of shame, anger, and inadequacy. EMDR helps the mind reprocess the life-changing event, allowing the client to heal and live a life they love.

Is EMDR Right for You?

Many people are reluctant to try EMDR because of poor results from previous attempts. Christy Maxey's EMDR Coaching includes guided visualization and inner child healing for a more robust approach. This tactic is part of Christy's Maxx Method - a life-changing framework for personal development.

What is the Maxx Method?

You may have received help from a therapist or life coach in Catalina Foothills, AZ, in the past, only to fall back into bad habits and self-destruction. If that sounds like you, chances are you never addressed the underlying cause of your problems. You cut the weed but never removed the root.

The Maxx Method is a six-part holistic system of evidenced-based tools, exercises, and concepts, developed to help you achieve maximized personal development.

EMDR and the Maxx Method are not only used for extreme traumas. They can be very helpful for common memories and events that foster feelings of low self-esteem and powerlessness, too. These methods were developed to help manage unpleasant emotions, show you how to find deep love, and heal old wounds that keep you stuck.

EMDR and the Maxx Method could be right for you if you have experienced:

Social Anxiety
Loss, Betrayal, and Grief
Negative Core Beliefs
Hurt, Anger, and Sadness
Overthinking
Low Self-Esteem
Lack of Confidence

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone and Be Proud of Your True Self

The world is changing. People are finally learning how to manage their own human experiences. But we can't do it alone. Christy Maxey is here to guide you on the path to a positive, guilt-free life. If you're ready to look inward, find peace, and develop the skills to love your true self, you're in the right place. After all, you've been suffering long enough.

When you work with Christy, you'll be on a fast track to the truth - no beating around the bush or wasting time. Christy's methods are gentle but firm, compassionate yet driven.

School districts call on Arizona Legislature to lift spending limit

A total of 191 school superintendents throughout Arizona, including those of nine major school districts in Pima County, are calling on state legislators to hold a special session to lift schools’ aggregate expenditure limit.As it stands, the limit, known as AEL, could cost public schools an estimated $1.3 billion during the current fiscal year, according to the two letters written to Gov. Doug Ducey and to House and Senate members.“We respectfully ask that a special session be called prior to the general election w...

As it stands, the limit, known as AEL, could cost public schools an estimated $1.3 billion during the current fiscal year, according to the two letters written to Gov. Doug Ducey and to House and Senate members.

“We respectfully ask that a special session be called prior to the general election with the purpose of fixing the AEL. Specifically we would ask that the AEL be lifted for one more year,” one of the letters states.

The school administrators said failure to address the AEL would threaten districts’ abilities to cover teacher pay raises, minimum wage increases, funding for capital projects and continued work to improve school safety.

The following nine school superintendents, as well as Pima County Schools Superintendent Dustin Williams, signed the two letters dated Sept. 6:

Todd Jaeger, Amphitheater Unified School District

Mary Kamerzell, Catalina Foothills School District

Kevin Stoltzfus, Flowing Wells Unified School District

Dan Streeter, Marana Unified School District

Manuel Valenzuela, Sahuarita Unified School District

Jose Gastelum, Sunnyside Unified School District

Scott Hagerman, Tanque Verde Unified School District

Gabriel Trujillo, Tucson Unified School District

John Carruth, Vail Unified School District

The AEL, according to the Arizona School Administrators group, was enacted in 1980 to set a cap on statewide school spending.

Last year, state legislators narrowly met the deadline to waive the spending cap that would have otherwise instructed school districts to cut their budgets by an average of 16% across the board. This year, school districts are facing a 17% budget cut if the AEL is not lifted, the school administrators group said.

The Pima County Schools Superintendent’s Office is now reviewing candidates for one open seat on the Sunnyside Unified School District governing board after a board member resigned.

Lisette Nunez, who was elected as a board member in 2020, submitted her resignation earlier this month. Her term was set to expire in 2024.

Schools Superintendent Dustin Williams “will now review and consider any qualified candidate who is interested in filling the vacancy,” the county office said in a news release.

It added that, under state law, the current governing board members may submit up to three names for consideration to fill the vacancy. However, the county schools superintendent is not required to appoint from that list.

Candidates who would like to be considered for the vacancy must submit an affidavit of qualification and candidate appointment questionnaire to the Schools Superintendent’s Office by Sept. 30 at 5 p.m.

For more information or to find an application packet, visit www.schools.pima.gov/elections.

The chosen candidate will serve from the day of appointment through Dec. 31, 2024.

The election this year to fill two vacancies on the Sunnyside Unified School District governing board was previously canceled due to the races being uncontested. That means incumbent Consuelo Hernandez will be reappointed to her seat and former board member Roberto Jaramillo will also serve on the board once again.

They will join current board members Matthew Taylor and Beki Quintero, whose terms end in 2024.

Local middle school student Taran Hogan of Saint Cyril of Alexandria School was chosen as one of the Top 300 Broadcom MASTERS after participating in a science competition for middle school students.

The Broadcom MASTERS (math, applied science, technology and engineering for rising stars) judges reviewed applications from more than 1,800 middle school students in 47 states before choosing the top 300 young scientists.

Each of the top 300 contestants will receive a $125 award from the Department of Defense.

Later this month, the judges will select 30 contestants as finalists who will then compete for different awards totaling a combined $100,000.

Salpointe (0-1) at Anthem Boulder Creek (1-0), 7 p.m.The Lancers need this game to draw even before hosting Basha next week and then traveling to play at Cienega.

Marana (1-0) at Buena (1-0), 7 p.m.Big win over Mountain View for Marana. Win this and the Tigers will have a week off to prepare for Canyon del Oro with a 2-0 record. The Colts have a favorable opening schedule but the second half of the year is tough.

Sunnyside (1-0) at Scottsdale Cactus Shadows (0-1), 7 p.m.The Blue Devils will be on the road until Oct. 7. A 4-0 record at that point would be a bonus.

Flowing Wells (1-0) at Phoenix Paradise Valley (0-1), 7 p.m.The Caballeros can open up 2-0 for the first time since the 8-3 playoff team of 2018.

Mountain View (0-1) at Gilbert Higley (1-0), 7 p.m.A great opportunity to even up the record for the Mountain Lions although the Knights did just beat Poston Butte.

Tucson (1-0) at Mesa Skyline (1-0), 7 p.m.The Badgers have an excellent chance to go 2-0.

Catalina (0-2) at Phoenix Cortez (1-1), 7 p.m.The Trojans are looking for their points of the year.

Benson (2-1) at Bisbee (1-1), 7 p.m.One would think these two programs have over 100 years of games played against each other but Benson played 6-man football for many years, winning back-to-back state championships in 1954 and 1955. Willcox, Marana and Tombstone joined Benson in 11-man football in 1956. It is believed the two programs played for the first time in 1982 to a 6-6 tie.

Palo Verde (1-2) at Santa Rita (0-2), 7 p.m.Both squads are still learning the game. The Titans won 10-0 in 2020.
