Life Coaching

When you dreamed about your future,

how did you imagine it would look?
We all have ideas about how our future will pan out. It’s hard to figure out what to do with a life that looks different than what you wanted. When happily ever after isn’t as you’d imagined, it can be easy to feel alone. You may be struggling with your identity or wondering what’s next.

It’s still possible to create a fulfilling life.

Throughout our coaching sessions, we explore what your path onward looks like. Whether your grief is fresh or you’ve experienced waves of sadness over decades, we’ll work through how you can love your life now.

We’ll address self-perception, re-examine societal narratives, and clarify your personal values — all while making space for hard feelings. I’ve learned it’s possible to reframe dreams and find a direction you’re genuinely excited about.

Creating Your Path Onward

Every woman has a different experience, so our sessions are individualized and focused on the issues important to you. Your path onward is not linear, and neither is our coaching. Issues we cover could include topics like:

Experiencing the grief of childlessness

While others don’t always realize this as a loss, it is. You don’t need to minimize your pain. Whether it’s a pregnancy loss, fertility struggles, aging out of having children, or the loss of future grandchildren, grieving is essential to moving on.

We’ll work through healthy ways to cope and how to respond.
