I provide compassionate support and actionable strategies to help you embrace change, rediscover your passions, and create a fulfilling future.

How Does Your Midlife 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 midlife 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 midlife coaching-related goals.
- Step 5 - ACHIEVE, ADDRESS, & APPRECIATE: We'll focus our sessions on reviewing your goal 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!
