Everything is connected

Life coaching and aligning to source

Hey friends,

I didn’t become a life coach because it was trendy, lucrative, or neatly laid out in front of me.

I became a life coach because my life cracked open and instead of turning away from the pieces, I chose to sit with them.

Long before I had language for “coaching,” I was already listening. Holding space. Walking alongside people in their darkest moments while learning how to navigate my own. What began as survival slowly transformed into purpose.

Where It Began

Some of my very first coaching clients were international women in Australia who found me across time zones, oceans, and lived experience. That alone was a profound affirmation: healing does not recognize borders. Pain, hope, intuition, and resilience speak a universal language.

I began adding certifications and am currently wrapping up a Bachelor of Science at Walden University 🎓

Working with people internationally taught me early on that what we are really longing for is not answers but permission.

Permission to be seen.

Permission to tell the truth. Permission to believe that light can still exist even after great darkness.

Those early sessions anchored something deep within me. This work mattered. Not because I had everything figured out but because I was willing to walk beside others while we figured it out together.

The Reality of the Path

Entrepreneurship is often romanticized. The truth is far more honest.

It has been trial and error. Leaps of faith. Missteps. Financial uncertainty. Creative burnout. Moments of self-doubt so loud they almost drowned out my intuition. I have failed publicly. I have pivoted repeatedly. I have questioned whether I was “doing enough” or “being enough.”

And yet each time I fell, I learned how to stand more firmly.

What I discovered along the way is this: sustainable success is built from the inside out. No strategy can replace self-trust. No branding can substitute for integrity. No external validation can anchor a foundation that hasn’t been strengthened within.

Starting Within Changed Everything

The greatest shift in my work and in my life came when I stopped trying to build something outside of myself before tending to what was happening inside of me.

Healing my nervous system.

Reparenting my inner child.

Integrating psychology with spirituality.

Learning boundaries, self-responsibility, and self-compassion.

As I did this work internally, my coaching deepened organically. I no longer felt the need to “perform” healing. I embodied it. And that embodiment became the invitation.

Clients didn’t come to me for perfection they came for presence. For honesty. For someone who understood darkness not academically, but intimately and could still point toward the light.

A Personal Brand, Rooted in Meaning

This is a deeply personal brand because it is inseparable from my life.

I walked away for 100k a year, a woman membership and secure income….

Why?

Because the further I moved toward people pleasing I lost a piece of me

I had to find a better way to serve:

Every session, workbook, meditation, and message is infused with lived experience. With reverence for the complexity of being human. With respect for trauma, spirituality, and the slow unfolding of becoming.

Meaning, for me, is found in witnessing transformation. In watching someone reconnect to their intuition. In seeing a woman remember her worth. In holding space while someone realizes that their story did not break them it forged them.

I do this work because I believe people are far more powerful than they’ve been taught to believe.

I do this work because I’ve walked through darkness and learned that light is not something we wait for it is something we remember.

And I do this work because, starting within, I built a foundation strong enough to hold not just my dreams but the dreams of those I am honored to walk beside.

With love and purpose,

Elise
