About My Journey: The Path Behind the Work

Hello! I am Dr. Paul D. Fitzgerald.

My Personal Story of Transformation

Why Share My Story?

I don’t share this story to impress. I share it to help you trust that I get what it means to feel stuck, to rebuild, and to create something meaningful — not once, but multiple times over a lifetime.

Whether you're wrestling with internal blocks, tech overwhelm, or both — chances are I’ve lived through a version of your challenge. This journey is how I’ve come to help people move forward with clarity, compassion, and tools that actually work.

A Career of Reinvention — and Serving the Stuck

Phase 1: Financial Systems & Organizational Leadership
Started as the Assistant Financial Manager of an international mission organization. Then transitioned into assistant directorship of an international pension and benefits program, where I developed a self-insured medical plan serving 5,000+ churches. I earned certifications as a CLU and ChFC.

Phase 2: The Crash & The Healing Path
After years of high-level leadership, I hit a wall: work addiction, burnout, and emotional collapse. I stepped away and entered deep personal healing. While on staff at a local church, I created a 12-step recovery program for those "stuck" in life.

Phase 3: Academic & Emotional Depth
I earned a Doctor of Ministry, researching internalized shame and its grip on personal transformation. I later served in a Christian counseling center, offering pastoral support to ministers in crisis.

Phase 4: Experiential Healing Work (Co-Created with My Wife)
At age 50, we launched an immersive 11-day emotional healing process focused on core worth and personal truth. It ran for 25 years and helped thousands — until COVID ended in-person facilitation.

Phase 5: Emotional Intelligence Meets Tech
I trained in Inner Relationship Focusing, became certified in conversational hypnotherapy, and added training in creating AI custom GPT tools to my offerings. Now, I combine emotional intelligence and automation to help others navigate their way to aligning the 6 core parts of life with their authentic life-forwarding energy to create a creative, confident, and resilient life.

Why This Matters for You

I’ve coached leaders, walked with creatives, sat with people in tears, and helped others finally act on what matters most. Not because I had all the answers — but because I’ve done the work of unsticking my own life.

If you’re stuck — emotionally, strategically, or in the swirl of new tech — I’ve been there. And I know how to walk with you through it.

Let's Move Forward

You don’t need to explain your stuckness. You just need a space to start again — with someone who gets the mess and knows how to move through it.

After 30 years in the healing, leadership, and entrepreneurial spaces, I don’t bring quick fixes. I bring experience that helps you take the next real step — whether that’s emotional or strategic.

60 minutes. Zero pressure. Real help from someone who gets it.
