I’ve never worked with a Life Coach before, what can I expect?

As a Life Coach, I believe you are fully capable and powerful, and you have the answers within you. My role is to guide you by asking the right questions, encouraging deeper reflection, and helping you uncover clarity. Together, we’ll identify what you truly want, create action steps, and work through challenges as they arise. I’ll teach you strategies, hold you accountable, and cheer you on every step of the way. My ultimate goal is for you to not only build a life you love but to leave with the tools and confidence to sustain it long after our sessions are done.

What approach does Ignite Joy Coaching use?

Ignite Joy Coaching uses a science-backed coaching approach that blends behavioral psychology, applied neuroscience, and high-performance habit design. This approach focuses on how real change happens—by understanding habits, mindset, motivation, and the nervous system—so clients can create sustainable growth during major life transitions.

How do I find the right life coach for midlife transitions and rediscovering my purpose?

Finding the right life coach for midlife transitions starts with looking for someone who understands this stage of life and focuses on clarity, values, and personal growth—not just quick fixes. Many people benefit from coaches who clearly explain their approach, offer compassionate support, and help clients rediscover purpose while honoring the life they’re living now. A discovery call can be a helpful way to see if the coaching relationship feels aligned.

Who is Ignite Joy Coaching for?

Ignite Joy Coaching is designed for adults in the second half of life who are navigating meaningful transitions—such as children becoming more independent, empty nesting, career shifts, relocation, or preparing for retirement—and want clarity, purpose, and renewed energy for what comes next.

How is your coaching different from traditional life coaching?

Unlike purely mindset-based or motivational coaching, Ignite Joy Coaching integrates behavioral psychology and neuroscience to support lasting change. Sessions focus not only on insight and vision, but also on practical tools for habit change, emotional regulation, and decision-making—helping clients move forward with confidence and consistency. (And we infuse each session with joy, laughter, and tough love, creating a safe space for you to explore, grow, and take actionable steps toward the life you want.)

How does neuroscience play a role in your coaching?

Neuroscience plays a key role in helping clients understand how stress, habits, and emotional patterns influence daily choices. By working with the nervous system—rather than against it—clients learn how to build routines, mindset shifts, and behaviors that feel supportive, sustainable, and aligned with their values.

Is Ignite Joy Coaching helpful during midlife or “next-chapter” transitions?

Yes. Ignite Joy Coaching specializes in supporting people during life’s “in-between” seasons—when priorities shift, roles change, and the future feels both exciting and uncertain. Coaching helps clients clarify what matters now and design a next chapter that reflects who they are becoming.

Do you work with people who aren’t entering or in midlife?

Yes! Ignite Joy Life-Coaching is for anyone seeking more clarity, energy, and fulfillment in their life. If you’re navigating transitions, feeling stuck, or searching for more connection and purpose, I’m here to guide you. During our 45-minute Discovery Call, we’ll determine if my coaching is the right fit for you. If not, I’ll happily refer you to another coach who can better meet your needs.

Can you help me embrace the empty nest and find new purpose?

The “next chapter” for parents often begins with allowing space for mixed emotions and getting curious about who you are when the empty nest comes. Many people find new purpose by reconnecting with their values, creating supportive daily rhythms, and imagining what feels meaningful and energizing now. With thoughtful support, this transition can become an opportunity for growth, clarity, and renewed excitement about what’s ahead.

What if I don’t live in your area—can I still work with you?

Absolutely! All my coaching sessions are conducted virtually, so you can choose video chats or phone calls, no matter where you’re located. This flexibility makes it easy to prioritize your personal growth on your terms.

How do I explain why I want to invest in Coaching to my partner?

You’re considering coaching because you feel something needs to change, and you’re ready to create a better future—not just for yourself, but for those you love. Coaching helps you show up as your best self, which positively impacts your relationships and your ability to give to others. In our Discovery Session, you’ll gain clarity on what you want and why it matters, which makes these conversations with your partner easier.

If needed, I’m happy to schedule a call with your partner to answer their questions and provide reassurance about how coaching will support your journey.

My schedule is already full and my energy is non-existent. How do I know I can commit to Coaching?

If you’re feeling busy and drained, it’s a sign that something needs to change. Coaching doesn’t require you to “make more time” in your life—it’s about using the time and energy you already have in ways that align with your values and priorities. Our sessions will be focused and efficient, with small but impactful homework to help you create more time, energy, and joy in your daily life.

How will I know if Coaching is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, or if you sense there’s more to life but aren’t sure how to reach it, coaching could be the right fit. During our Discovery Call, we’ll explore your goals and determine if coaching aligns with your needs.

What kind of results can I expect from Coaching?

Clients often report feeling clearer about their purpose, more confident in their decisions, and more energized and fulfilled in their daily lives. You’ll leave with a personalized roadmap, actionable strategies, and the tools to continue growing long after our sessions are over.
