Life Coach

Your life. Your timeline.

Maybe you’re not behind. Maybe the timeline is wrong.

A good life can still leave you with big questions.

Maybe you’ve accomplished a lot and still wonder why you don’t feel the way you thought you would.

Maybe the career you worked years to build doesn’t fit anymore.

Maybe you’re thinking about motherhood differently than you expected.

Maybe you’re starting over.

Maybe everybody around you thinks you’re doing great (and you are!), but some part of you keeps asking, what do I actually want now?

That’s where we start.

My Journey

“I didn’t follow the timeline either.”

I spent decades building the career I dreamed about: CNN, Al Jazeera, Emmy-winning journalism, living overseas, traveling the world.

But by my 40s, parts of my life looked nothing like I'd expected. Marriage hadn’t happened. Motherhood hadn’t happened. And eventually, even the career I had worked so hard for stopped feeling like the life I wanted.

So, I left my anchor job and moved home to Houston. For a while, that meant living in my parents' garage apartment as I figured out what came next. It was a temporary chapter, but an important one.

At 49, as a single woman, I adopted my son.
On paper, it was almost nothing like the plan. In reality, I was happier than I had ever been.

I wasn’t late. I was living my life.

I am a 51-year-old single mom who lives at home with my parents and I’m the happiest I have ever been. What? Come on, you don’t want to go to bed?

It wasn’t always this way, so stick with me here. After graduating from college, I moved a lot and often far from home. I spent most of my adult life working as a broadcast journalist. I had a dream career. I worked at CNN Headline News for seven years. I’ve interviewed phenomenal women like Janet Jackson and Misty Copeland. I lived in New York and Doha, Qatar, and traveled to fabulous cities around the world.

From the outside looking in, my life probably looked pretty amazing and sometimes it was. The reality is more complex. I was often alone, expecting to meet a great guy and start a family. When that didn’t happen, I decided at age 43 it was time to freeze my eggs. Then at 46, it was time for IVF using those eggs and sperm from a sperm bank. You think Bumble is stressful? Try picking sperm.

When IVF didn’t work, I decided it was time to adopt. I kept telling myself the right baby would find me, but eventually realized leaving Doha could improve my odds of being matched with the baby and that is exactly what happened. Within eight months of leaving my dream job and moving home to my parents’ studio apartment above the garage in Houston, with no job lined up, I met my beautiful baby boy, Avery.

The journey is not how I planned it, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

This may be for you if...

You’re a woman who’s done everything “right” and are surprised to find yourself wanting something different.

You feel behind your friends, colleagues, siblings - or the version of yourself you thought you would be by now.

You know what you want, but you don’t quite trust yourself enough to choose it.

You’re at a crossroads and every option seems to come with a loss.

You’re considering a major career, family, relationship, geography, or lifestyle decision.

Or you simply need somewhere to tell the truth before deciding what to do with it.

You don’t have to be in crisis to want your life to change.

What we’ll work toward

Our work starts with what is actually happening in your life right now: the choice in front of you, the assumptions surrounding it, what you want, what you fear, and where those things have gotten tangled together.

The goal is for you to leave our work able to:

Understand what you actually want, and not simply what you have been taught to want

Identify the expectations, assumptions, and fears shaping your decisions

See the choices available to you more clearly

Trust yourself enough to make a decision

Turn that decision into meaningful next steps

Build a clearer relationship with your own timeline

I’ve spent my career asking better questions.

For more than 25 years as an Emmy-winning journalist, anchor, and global panel moderator, I’ve sat across from people trying to explain complicated ideas, difficult decisions, enormous accomplishments, and painful truths.

I’m an Emmy-winning journalist, international moderator, mother, and a Certified Life Coach. My job was never simply to ask a question. It was to listen closely enough to know what to ask next.

That same instinct is at the heart of my coaching practice.

I won’t tell you what your life should look like. I’ll help you examine the assumptions underneath it, hear what you’re actually saying, and ask the follow-up question that gets us somewhere more useful.

Questions

Is life coaching similar to therapy?

Some topics discussed may overlap, but life coaching isn't therapy and cannot replace it. I have tremendous respect for licensed therapists, and I’m not one. Therapy is essential for addressing mental health concerns. Coaching focuses on the present and on setting goals when you’re emotionally stable and ready to explore what you want next. For some, pursuing therapy and coaching at the same time is the best option.

Who do you work with?

What is your coaching approach?

What happens during a coaching session?

Do I need to know exactly what I want before we begin?

How do I know which coaching option is right for me?

What happens on the discovery call?

You do not have to be “on time.”

You don’t need to have the next ten years figured out. You don’t need permission to reconsider something you once wanted. And you certainly don’t need to make a permanent decision because an old version of you put it on a calendar.

You just need enough honesty to ask: what do I want now?

We can start there.
