Life coaching is simply support for becoming a better, calmer, more confident version of yourself. It helps you understand why you think and act the way you do — and gives you tools to change the things that aren’t working anymore.  Think of it like having someone in your corner who helps you get clear on what you want, what’s getting in the way, and how to move forward without feeling overwhelmed.  Instead of telling you what to do, a coach creates the space for you to tune into you — so you finally understand what’s really going on underneath the stress, overthinking, or self-doubt.  It’s not a quick fix — it’s a process that helps you make changes that actually last.

A life coach helps you see yourself more clearly. They reflect back your patterns, help you make sense of your inner world, and guide you toward choices and actions that feel aligned with who you’re becoming.

They help you:

• See patterns you might not notice on your own (and help you understand why they show up in the first place)

• Understand your thoughts and emotions

• Build supportive, realistic self-talk

• Calm the overthinking

• Create healthier habits that actually stick

• Strengthen your self-trust

• Make decisions with more confidence

• Set aligned goals and take action in a way that feels doable, not stressful

• Create a life you’re genuinely excited about

Great question! My coaching style differs from the traditional talk therapy approach by having more of a present and future-focus (instead of spending the majority of our time discussing the past). Coaching and therapy can complement each other well, and I often see clients who are still in therapy. I’ve also worked with clients whose therapy felt stagnant, and chose coaching to get a new perspective.

This answer is very multi-dimensional, because so are you!  But generally speaking, because my coaching program gets to the root of how we show up in life, at work, and for ourselves, my clients see improvement in many areas. Work-life balance, personal development and growth, self-awareness, stress management, confidence, decision making, health and wellness, time management, resilience, overcoming challenges: so much can get better with guidance and support.

It really depends on the person, because everyone comes in with different patterns, goals, and levels of self-awareness. But most people start noticing small shifts — like feeling calmer, clearer, or more aware of their thoughts — within the first few weeks. The deeper changes usually start to click around the 5–6 month mark. That’s the sweet spot where the awareness, tools, and new habits you’ve been practicing begin to stick and show up in your everyday life. There’s no “perfect timeline,” but if you’re showing up, being honest with yourself, and practicing what we talk about, you’ll absolutely start to feel the difference — and it keeps compounding from there.

The self-guided course is a great option if you’re not yet able to invest the time and resources required for coaching, but you still want the benefits of positive self-talk. It’s available for a one-time payment of $49. Coaching services, which include one-on-one sessions and personalized exercises, are available for $333 per month (7-month commitment required).
