How Can a Habits Coach Help Me?
HABITS COACHING ~ ROUTINES CREATION ~ GOAL SETTING ~ TIME MANAGEMENT & PRODUCTIVITY ~ SELF-CARE ~ WORK / LIFE BALANCE ~ & BEYOND!
As a Certified Time Management Coach, Goal Success Coach, and Habits Coach, I get to help my clients RESCRIPT their stories and create daily habits and routines that completely transform their lives. I'm trained and versed in the habits coaching methodologies of James Clear (Atomic Habits), Charles Duhigg (Power of Habit), and B.J. Fogg (Tiny Habits), which help to inform my approach. Over the last 25+ years, I've worked with thousands of people to guide them in achieving their dreams through creating and changing their habits! When considering hiring a habits coach, we usually have a lot of questions. Let's see if we can answer these questions for you to help you determine if habits coaching is a good fit for you!
What is a Habits Coach?
As a habits coach, my primary role is to assist my clients in transforming behaviors and establishing positive habits. Through personalized guidance and support, I empower you to make lasting changes in your life and achieve your desired outcomes.
First and foremost, I work closely with my clients to identify the specific habits you wish to develop or modify. Once we have established the habits to focus on, I collaborate with my clients to create a structured plan of action. Together, we set realistic targets and establish a roadmap that breaks down the habit formation process into manageable steps.
Throughout the coaching process, I provide ongoing guidance and accountability. I help clients understand the underlying motivations and triggers that influence behaviors, and we explore strategies to overcome obstacles and maintain momentum. Moreover, as a habits coach, I recognize the importance of mindset and self-awareness in the habit formation journey. I help my clients cultivate a positive mindset, encouraging you to embrace self-compassion, patience, and resilience. We work on building self-confidence and celebrating small victories along the way, fostering a sense of achievement and motivation.
As a habits coach, my purpose is to guide individuals in creating positive change by breaking free from detrimental habits and establishing beneficial ones. Through personalized strategies, ongoing support, and a focus on mindset, I help clients unlock your full potential and lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
Because self-talk is at the core of my RESCRIPT Framework, as we work on your specific goals, we simultaneously work on helping you eliminate negative self-talk patterns and develop a positive internal dialogue. By learning and maintaining empowering self-talk strategies, you gain the most important fuel for achieving what you desire. Through our habits coaching partnership, we help you RESCRIPT your story and author a limitless life!
What Types of Habits Do You Help Clients Work on as a Habits Coach?
As a habits coach, I help my clients create a wide range of positive habits based on your individual goals and needs. Here are some common types of positive habits that we might work on creating together:
The specific habits we work on together vary depending on individual goals, preferences, and challenges. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs to help you create positive habits that align with your specific goals.

How Does Your Habits Coaching Process Work?
Can You Share More About Your RESCRIPT Framework?
As a life and career coach, I've developed my own framework for helping my clients quiet negative self talk and become their own best advocates.
We have two very different mental narrators who talk to us in our minds—the Inner Antagonist and the Inner Advocate.
Your Inner Antagonist is your story’s inner opposing force. It tells you that you have disorder, conflict, weaknesses, and deficits within and around you, and that you do not have what it takes to resolve any of it. Your Inner Antagonist can also lead you to act in ways that are not aligned with your values and ultimate desires.
Your Inner Advocate has your back. It’s your inner ally, supporter, encourager, and collaborative problem solver. It tells you that you’re strong and capable. It reminds you of all the resources you have within and around you. It reminds you of the wisdom you’ve gained from life experience. It tells you that you can overcome anything. To amplify our Inner Advocate, we must RESCRIPT:
If you'd like to read a bit more about my RESCRIPT Framework, I wrote this Huffington Post article about it: 8 Practices to Re-Script Your Self-Story.
- Step 1 - ACQUAINT: We schedule a FREE 20-minute Discovery Session to get acquainted, discuss your habits coaching needs, and answer any questions you may have.
- Step 2 - ASSESS: We'll assess your level of satisfaction with each area of your life, as well as evaluate your unique self-talk patterns.
- Step 3 - AIM: We'll have an in-depth discussion of your assessment results and begin setting specific short- and long-term goals based on your assessments and what we discover during our discussion so we know what destinations we are aiming for.
- Step 4 - ACTION: We'll jump right in with "In-Between Session Actions" (AKA - homework ;-) customized to your needs to begin moving you into action toward your habits-related goals.
- Step 5 - ACHIEVE, ADDRESS, & APPRECIATE: We'll focus our sessions on reviewing your habits achievement progress, discussing and addressing any negative self-talk that is getting in your way, positively tackling any new challenges and opportunities that arise, and CELEBRATING AND APPRECIATING YOUR SUCCESSES - the small ones along the way and big ones following your hard work!
