Being Supportive is hard work! 

Why Coach? 

Well, I can’t say that I chose coaching. I truly believe coaching found me. Years of friendships and ministry have cultivated and honed my coaching style and skill. I have walked through every situation you could possibly imagine with friends, family, and in ministry. I consider myself a super supportive friend and highly efficient at being an effective people helper. So, when I wanted to decide at fifty years old how I wanted to live the second half of my life I struggled. 

What do I do when I struggle? Reach out to my prayer warriors  and see my therapist. I went back to counseling and haggled with my therapist many times over about all my dreams. That is a story for later. I was challenged to really examine myself and my life. Looking back at the past and unpacking your trials and tribulations is very difficult. 

I debated on going back to school, but I couldn’t quite pull the trigger on that idea. I didn’t want to start another big  journey. I enjoyed my current journey of being supportive and loving my friends well. I discovered that I really enjoyed listening to them and helping them find resources to navigate life. I have been a volunteer in every capacity imaginable. I have a deep passion for ministries that help women, families and wives. I loved spending time taking phone call after phone call encouraging and examining the fears, dreams and challenges my friends and women in my ministry circle laid before me.  But that’s not a job or so I thought. That’s not a career, right? Being supportive is not a career. It couldn’t be, could it? 

As I wrestled with what to do with my love of helping others combined with empowering them and encouraging them through life’s trials I had a miraculous discovery. I was waiting  in the office while supporting someone else attending  counseling.  I ran across this magazine that mentioned christian counseling. In my heart I had already decided that I didn’t want to be in another degree program. As I looked further at the article in the publication about  being supportive and encouraging others I saw a word that I hadn’t considered, Coach. Not a sports coach, but a life coach? What’s that I thought. You can get certified to be supportive, love others well while encouraging and empowering them to be their best selves and lay the gospel before them? Well, It turns out you can. Yes, I’ve heard of life coaches. Yes, I’ve seen the segments on talk shows, morning shows, and other outlets with life coaches. But somehow I never considered it for myself. Funny how we do that, right?I never considered what I do as coaching. I thought about it for a few days and asked a few of my friends what they thought of me becoming a Life Coach? All of them responded with “Isn’t that what you already do?”

 Yes, it is! 

I am a life coach. I Edify, Encourage, Empower, and help others Evolve. I walk alongside others weekly or monthly giving them support by offering practical assessments,  teaching/training strategies that help mothers, wives, and friends make decisions and get results. 

I want to help you. I want to be that person that supports you and helps you take the next step in your life.
