Stop living on autopilot.
Your life.
Your way.
Let’s get intentional, with guided coaching tools that work for real life.
Coach-designed, people-tested, ready for you anytime (no sessions, no hourly fees).
I’ve spent years sitting across from people who wanted change but didn’t know how to get there. We worked through common struggles: setting boundaries with family, creating healthier routines, balancing work and life, finding direction, and so many others.
My guides are born from those sessions. They’re the same tools, steps, and reflections I used with clients, now turned into self-coaching programs you can follow on your own. At your pace. At a fraction of the cost.
Guides built from real coaching sessions

Intentional living, one life area at a time
Nobody flips their whole life upside down in a weekend (and if they do, it usually backfires). That’s why everything here is organized into 12 life areas, including career, finances, relationships, home, health, and more.
Think of them as entry points. Start with the one that matters most right now. As you build momentum, you can explore the rest.

Hi. I’m Michelle.
Educator | Certified Life Coach
I know what it’s like to feel stuck. For years, I lived how I was taught: building a career that pays enough to own a house, striving to keep my house clean, taking care of my family, and wondering why my life didn’t feel like my own. I was doing ‘all the right things,’ but something was missing. I felt bored, empty, and like I had lost myself.
At the time, I thought changing careers would be the answer. And it was, kind of.
Everything changed when I learned how to coach people. While I was helping them figure out how to make their lives better, I noticed everyone had the same problems. For various reasons, people were letting life happen TO them instead of living the way they truly wanted to.
So, I not only started to help my clients live intentionally, but I also started taking charge of my own life. I took small, purposeful steps to align my life with what really mattered to me, and I've never been happier. Now it's my mission to help you do the same.
If you're feeling a little stuck, the life area hubs are a great place to start. They’ll help you sort through what you want more (and less) of in your life, and point you toward the next small steps you can take. (Small steps are where the magic happens.)
