You know something needs to change.

Not because everything is wrong, but because the way things are right now no longer fits.

You may feel stuck, restless, or quietly dissatisfied. On the outside, life looks fine. On the inside, you know you are meant for something different, something more aligned, more honest, more yours.

Life coaching is a place to pause, sort through the noise, and reconnect with what actually matters to you.

You’ve been there for everyone.
Family. Partner. Children. Work. Friends. Aging parents.

Somewhere along the way, you put yourself last.

You may be questioning your direction or what this next chapter is meant to look like. You might feel disconnected from your energy, your confidence, or your sense of possibility.

And carrying that quietly can feel heavy.

If you are in a season of transition or reinvention, you do not have to navigate it alone

Life coaching isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about coming home to yourself.

This is thoughtful, supportive work that helps you slow down, get clear, and make intentional choices that align with who you are now, not who you were expected to be or who you’ve been trying to hold together.

Life coaching can be especially supportive if you’re navigating:

  • a life transition or identity shift

  • feeling stuck or uncertain about direction

  • burnout or emotional exhaustion

  • relationship or boundary challenges

  • midlife changes

  • a desire for more meaning, confidence, or ease

HOW LIFE COACHING WORKS

Together, we focus on understanding what you’re feeling and why, getting clear about what you want next, and untangling the overwhelm that makes decisions feel heavy.

We work on strengthening confidence and self trust, releasing what has been weighing on you, and creating supportive routines and boundaries that bring more ease and alignment.

This is your space to feel supported, grounded, and guided as you move forward with clarity.

You’ll walk away with:

  • more clarity and less second guessing

  • a plan that feels doable, not stressful

  • support through whatever transition you’re in

  • more confidence and self compassion

  • boundaries that protect your time and energy

  • a sense of direction you can feel good about

This isn’t about having everything figured out.

It’s about feeling steady and supported as you move forward.

Why I’m the Right Coach for Your Next Chapter

We’ve all hit tough times in our lives and I’m no exception. I’ve navigated my own seasons of change through divorce, raising six children, caring for aging parents, rebuilding my career, and starting fresh in my fifties.

I know what it feels like to lose yourself. And I know what it takes to find your way back with clarity, courage, and a sense of joy that feels real again.

From rebuilding my life, to finding love again, to creating a career that reflects who I am today, I understand transitions deeply.

That lived experience shapes how I support women through their next chapters. I’m a certified life coach, and I bring both professional training and real-life perspective into this work.

    I just completed Cathy’s 90 day coaching program. She has been instrumental in helping me identify important goals for myself, set them into motion, keeping me accountable, and showing me how to sustain them over time. Her relatable life experiences and calm demeanor made working with her easy. I can fully recommend her programming for anyone needing some assistance in getting out of a rut or needing to break through to that next level in life!
