Welcome to Respark Your Joy Coaching
I have been through a bunch of big challenges in my life (haven't most of us!) and I believe God gave me a message to share as a result of "my messes"! My passion is to help women live a life filled with hope, joy, and purpose no matter the challenges placed in their path - even the devastating loss of a loved one!
We should all be equipped to live our best lives and I'd love to help you live yours!
Hi there! I am a mom to two grown boys (one is in heaven) and a fur mom to five cats (all rescues). I have a background in teaching, military leadership (retired Air Force in the house), and small business ownership. But my passion is helping women live a big bright "this is an amazing" life (and teach their kids and family how to do that as well)!
Over my decades on this earth, I have faced some pretty significant challenges, losses, and downright stop-you-in-your-tracks situations. At one point, I even wondered if I should still be on this earth! That was my wake-up call and I spent the next twenty years learning how to manage emotions, respond proactively to life's tsunamis, and have joy in my life in spite of what life threw my way.
This culminated about two years ago with the death of my oldest son. Needless to say, this "what the frack just happened" loss turned my life upside down. But having navigated this "how can I go on" journey, I came to truly understand the depth of grief associated with the loss of a loved one and the courage it takes to rebuild a "new normal" life.
I also wholeheartedly believe that God was preparing me over all those years to be equipped for this life-changing event - and that God gave me a message to share because of "my mess". As a result of this calling on my life, I pursued further education and was certified as a Dream Life coach to make sure I could support other women on their grief journeys, helping them to honor their loss while creating their own new, fulfilling future.
I also have a passion for women who may not have had a single profound loss, but feel overwhelmed and frustrated, or even numb emotionally, because of all the "little" things that come up during their day-to-day activities that wear them down over time (like my sister). I've seen women lose themselves as they take care of everyone else - and if they are of a "certain age", they may be taking care of kids and parents (yep, that's me). I love helping these special ladies to identify what brings them joy so they can break free from life's ruts and embrace vibrant, purposeful living. And by helping these women, we can change the trajectory of their families as well!
If you fall into either of these categories, or if you have certain dreams and goals you want to achieve but feel stuck on how to make that happen, I would love to help you find the joy you deserve in your life through personalized one-on-one coaching or one of our structured programs - like our 12-week transformative Respark Your Joy 90-Day U-Turn program.

FAQS
Life coaching is a process where we work together to help you identify and achieve your personal and professional goals. We would have a series of one-on-one sessions where I can provide guidance, support, and accountability - cause who doesn't need that sometimes in life! I'll use a variety of proven techniques and tools to help you gain clarity, set actionable goals, and develop strategies to overcome challenges. My coaching process is highly personalized, tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. And because it is collaborative with accountability, it empowers you to make positive changes in your life! Did you know that people who have coaching, accountability, and support are 7 times more likely to succeed!
The length of a coaching engagement can vary based on individual goals and needs. Some folks find value in a few sessions focused on specific issues or challenges, while others may want a longer-term coaching relationship to achieve more substantial personal or professional transformations. Typically, a coaching relationship may last anywhere from a few months to a year or longer. We can tailor a plan and timeline just for you based on your objectives and expectations.
In a word, me. Having navigated through my own grief journey and transformation as part of my own 90-Day experience to become Dream Life certified, I am dedicated to providing a supportive and empathetic environment for my clients. My desire is to help you achieve your goals and live your best life through growth and transformation.
Through Respark Your Life Coaching, I focus on the tools and activities that prioritize your unique needs and goals. It is my strong belief that every woman should be able to live a life filled with joy and purpose even though we face challenges, set backs, loss, or just the mundane things of day-to-day living!
I offer several different one-on-one coaching packages to ensure that you receive the time and attention that aligns with your specific objectives, whether they involve personal development, improved relationships, a more vibrant and joyful life, a reduction in stress and anxiety, or to navigate through your own grief journey.
One-on-one coaching sessions are conducted over Zoom to provide a personal touch even though we may be geographically separated. Sessions can be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly and typically run for 45 minutes. If you have a particular goal you want to achieve or specific habits you want to focus on, we will spend time during the first session discussing your goals. In our next sessions, we will talk about progress on actions you chose from the previous session (accountability), discuss strategies and tools to provide tailored support, and reset your intentions for the upcoming week (tailored to your goals). The goal is to determine where you want to go and what you want to achieve and through our sessions, give you the mindset and practical tools you can use, and give the support to get there!
No, I'm so glad you asked! In addition to one-on-one coaching, if you want a more structured approach with small groups and a community, then our Respark Your Joy 90-Day U-Turn could be the loving kick in the right direction you're looking for! We give you the tools and knowledge to overcome self-sabotaging behaviours and reprogram your subconcious for success! This is the program that changed my life and I know it can change yours too!
And if you are navigating through grief and loss, I am currently developing a structured 12-week Respark Your Joy After Grief program that will also include structured weekly sessions, small groups and a community (which is so important to healing). Stay tuned for more details.
Yes! I offer a six-week one-on-one structured program specifically designed to work through and reduce anxiety. Sometimes it is so hard to move on and achieve other goals until we deal with anxiety. As part of the Anxiety Toolkit, you will receive weekly recorded sessions, worksheets and assessment, and one-on-one coaching sessions with me to help you learn and apply anxiety reducing tools and techniques. We can work together to get you out of flight or fight mode so you can enjoy your life again.
