"I found my people"
Before I started this program, I thought I was signing up to learn a few new tools, techniques, maybe a framework or two to help me “grow.” What I didn’t expect was to uncover something much more profound: my calling.
Somewhere between the first live Q&A and that one session that made me question everything (Bioengineering), I realized that coaching isn’t just something I do—it’s something I am. I discovered that I have a real gift for connecting with people, for listening between the lines, and for helping others see the potential in themselves that they’ve forgotten or never knew. And that realization changed everything.
Even more unexpectedly, I found my people. Two women who were strangers on Zoom are now like family—co-conspirators in what’s next. We’re building a coaching business together (!), rooted in purpose, play, and the deep belief that everyone deserves to live a life that feels like their own.
This program didn’t just teach me how to coach. It gave me a compass. I feel excited, grounded, and clear in a way I’ve never felt before. I know who I am. I know what I’m here to do. And I can’t wait for what’s next.
