LIFE COACHING

LIFE COACHING 101

Life coaching is a collaborative journey where we partner together to help you uncover your deeper desires, clarify your vision for the future, and turn your aspirations into a living reality. Unlike therapy, which often looks at past experiences for healing, life coaching is all about the present and future. We focus on taking actionable steps to create the life you truly want. It's an empowering process of conscious choices, overcoming the internal obstacles that hold you back, and tapping into your full potential to design a life filled with purpose and meaning.

WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?

What is life coaching, anyway?

​

​I am a graduate of Martha Beck's Wayfinder Life Coach Training. While Life Coaching is a well-established craft and profession, one of the first questions I am most frequently asked is, "What is life coaching?" Great question!  I firmly believe there is no one-size-fits all answer for this, because life coaches and their clients are like Cheetos, each one is unique. (I was going to say snow flakes, but thought that was too cheesy.)

​

Let's try this on for size -  you know how sometimes life can feel like you're stumbling around alone, confused and lost in the dark? Not to be a downer, but life can get pretty tough and confusing.  It's during these times that it is crucial to work with your own coach to regain inner strength, direction and resiliency.

​

Do any of the following statements sound familiar?

​

"I hate my job, spouse, etc. and don't know what to do"

"I've lost my job, spouse, etc. and don't know what to do"

"My kids are grown, now who the hell am I?"

" I just became a stay-at-home parent and feel I've lost my sense of identity"

​

"I'm afraid to __________ because _____________"

​

Life coaching is about partnering up with an advocate (Me!), who supports, challenges, guides and turns the damn lights on so you're not feeling scared, lost and alone in the dark any more.

 

We dig deep, because that's where the treasure is buried.  We uncover thoughts, beliefs & behaviors that no longer serve you. We overcome fear that's keeping you playing small.  We learn to embrace the difficulties because the results of inner work are incredible.

​

If you're ready to get to know yourself better, tap into your power and sense of self worth, let's go.  We got this!

​

 If you're curious, have questions or want to talk specifics, let's connect!

I happily provide no-obligation, no-cost consultations. 

WHO WORKS WITH A COACH?

Who works with a coach?

Resourceful, intelligent, open-minded people like yourself. My clients have been from a wide range of professions and backgrounds.  Life coaching is all inclusive.  Basically, life coaches are the 'personal trainers' of your heart, mind and soul.
​
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty in your life, have you ever said to yourself , "geez, now what?"
​
"Now what" people are my kind of people!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT WITH COACHING?

What can I expect when I am being coached?

​

Initially, ​we will explore what feels 'off' in your world to determine the most advantageous starting point. This is your opportunity to get it all out in the open and off your chest. Bringing issues out of the dark corners is the first critical step in acknowledging and overcoming them.

​

My coaching packages are priced and uniquely tailored to each client.  We will work together to agree upon frequency, timing and number of sessions moving forward.  Coaching sessions can be done in person, via phone or video chat, whichever is most convenient. 

​

Your well being and progress are my main priorities. I will be your advocate, and hold you accountable.  I will not shy away from challenging you or be afraid to piss you off when I push you to your edge, just like an athletic trainer would do for your physical fitness.  

My promise to you: I will dedicate every tool, skill, intuition and spark of wisdom I have to helping you reach your goals and desired outcomes.  

Beauty in Nature
I highly recommend Julie’s Life Coaching.  She is professional, compassionate and easy to relate to. She is the best friend that you can pour your heart out to, but who remains non-judgmental and asks tough questions to ponder.   Her coaching was instrumental in ensuring  a very easy transition from being a career woman in a high stress position to a retired individual with tons of free time.  We covered some hard subjects.  Thankfully, Julie’s coaching exercises were instrumental in quelling my fears.  She worked with me on multiple fronts.  The first being relationship concerns.  Then there were financial matters and short term and long term retirement goals.   I have been retired for almost 2 years now, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Julie.  I am living a full and active post retirement life.  Hiring Julie was one of the best things I have done for myself.
