If you’re thinking about working with a life coach, you’re probably wondering:

“What does that actually look like… and is this even worth it?”

Fair question. Because there’s a lot of vague, fluffy coaching out there and that’s not what I do.

So let me break this down in a way that actually makes sense.

Who I Work With

I work with 20-somethings who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’re behind in life.

More specifically:

  • struggling in or after college
  • in a quarter-life crisis
  • feeling like they’ve “failed to launch” into adulthood
  • dealing with ADHD or executive dysfunction
  • unsure what to do with their career
  • inconsistent with routines and habits
  • feeling lost, unmotivated, or directionless

Most of my clients are smart, capable, and know they should be doing more…

They just don’t know how to actually follow through.

What I Actually Help You Do

This isn’t just talking about your problems. This is about getting your life moving.

Here’s what we actually work on:

  • building a weekly schedule you’ll actually follow
  • applying to jobs consistently
  • prepping for interviews
  • making big life decisions
  • stopping procrastination
  • creating routines and habits that stick
  • building confidence through action
  • creating a realistic monthly budget
  • managing stress in ways that actually work

Everything we talk about leads to real-life action.

What a Coaching Session Looks Like

My sessions are structured, because structure is what most people are missing.

Here’s how they typically go:

1. Weekly Wins

We start with what’s been going well.

Even small wins matter.

Because just like a body in motion…

The more you focus on progress, the more progress you create.

2. Accountability Check

We go over what we talked about last session.

Did you do it?

If yes → great, we build on it
If no → we figure out why (this is where growth happens)

This is how you start building internal accountability, not just relying on motivation.

3. Focus of the Session

This is the main part.

It could be:

  • something you bring
  • something we’re continuing
  • something I introduce based on your goals

This is where we actually work through what’s keeping you stuck.

4. Next Steps

Every session ends with: what you’re doing before we talk again

No vague advice. Clear actions.

My Coaching Style

I’m not a “just talk about your feelings” coach.

I’m also not someone who’s going to aggressively push you without understanding what’s going on.

I’m a mix of both.

  • down-to-earth and supportive
  • direct when needed
  • not afraid to call things out
  • very action-oriented

I also bring structure.

I like to think of myself as your personal project manager for your life.

We’re not just talking, we’re building something.

How My Packages Work

Here’s how you can get started:

Step 1: Free Consultation Call

This is where we figure out:

  • what’s going on
  • what you’re struggling with
  • what you actually need

No pressure. Just clarity.

Step 2: Intro Month (Best Starting Point)

This is where I recommend most people start.

  • 4 x 30-minute sessions
  • used within 30 days
  • $300 upfront

This gives you a chance to:

  • try coaching
  • build momentum
  • see real progress quickly

Step 3: Ongoing Coaching Packages

Once you know you want to keep going, you can choose what level of support you need:

6 Sessions

Best for:

  • one specific goal
  • getting unstuck quickly

12 Sessions

Best for:

  • building habits
  • working on multiple areas
  • creating consistency

18 Sessions

Best for:

  • bigger life changes
  • long-term support
  • deeper transformation

Sessions are typically 45 minutes and meant to be used weekly for best results

Step 4: Add-On Support (Optional)

Text Coaching

If you want support between sessions:

  • Check-ins
  • Accountability
  • quick guidance

Available as a monthly add-on.

What Makes This Different

I’m not here to give you generic advice.

I’m not here to just talk in circles.

And I’m definitely not here to waste your time or money.

I genuinely care about:

👉 your goals
👉 your progress
👉 your life actually improving

This is real, practical, action-based coaching all customized to your needs.

Who This Is NOT For

This is important.

This is not for someone who:

  • isn’t ready to make changes
  • just wants to vent without taking action
  • isn’t willing to follow through

Because coaching only works if you’re willing to do the work.
