The Purpose-Driven Path

How Coaching Can Unlock Your Passion and Help You Choose Yourself

There comes a moment when doing what you’re “supposed to do” just isn’t enough anymore.

You’ve climbed the ladder, hit the milestones, and maybe even checked off the dream job — but something still feels off. The spark is gone. Or maybe it was never fully there.

That’s where I was.

I had a six-figure career. A beautiful family. Stability. But I also had a soul that felt like it was slowly dimming under the weight of “should.”

I wasn’t broken. But I was deeply disconnected.


When Passion Feels Out of Reach

I wasn’t waking up excited. I was waking up performing.

And when people asked me what I wanted to do next… I lied.

Not out of malice — out of fear.
Because the truth was:

“I didn’t know anymore.”

That’s the thing about purpose. It doesn’t arrive fully formed.
Sometimes it starts as a whisper:

“There’s more for you than this.”

But to hear that whisper? You have to get quiet. And most of us have forgotten how.


Enter Coaching: A Mirror to My Soul

I didn’t go searching for coaching. Coaching found me.

It started over dinner — a friend asking questions I wasn’t ready to answer. Then offering me space. Coaching. Support.

At first I scoffed. What would I be coached on? I wasn’t building a business. I wasn’t sure I even had dreams left.

But something in me said yes.

And in that yes, everything began to change.


What Coaching Actually Did for Me

It didn’t give me a strategy.
It didn’t hand me a vision board.
It didn’t ask me to hustle harder.

It asked me to tell the truth.

About what I really wanted.
About the little girl inside me who had spent her whole life trying to be good, useful, acceptable.
About how deeply I had abandoned my own needs while caring for everyone else.

And through powerful, soul-stirring questions, coaching gave me myself back.


From “I Don’t Know” to “This Is It!”

My coach didn’t tell me what my purpose was.
He didn’t hand me a mission statement.

He held space while I discovered it myself.

And in that space, I realized…

I’ve been a coach all along.

Long before I had a title or a certificate.

In every friend I held. Every pep talk I gave. Every meal I made with love.
My nickname was “Momma” — and that wasn’t just cute. It was sacred. It was my essence.


The Power of a Purpose Remembered

Passion doesn’t come from finding the right job posting.
It comes from
remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

That’s what coaching helped me do.

It helped me:

  • Reframe my story from pain to power

  • Release the shame of “not enough”

  • Say no to what was safe

  • Say yes to what was soul-aligned

It helped me not just understand my purpose — but fall in love with it.


Why I Fell in Love With Coaching

I fell in love with coaching when I realized it’s not about fixing people.
It’s about this simple, sacred act:

Seeing someone struggle… and offering your hand.

That’s it. A moment of presence. A steady heart.
And then something miraculous happens.

That person starts to help themselves. They begin their own ripple.
And next thing you know — that single act echoes into more love, more healing, more homes and families waking up, more communities softening.

One soul changed becomes many souls remembered.

That’s what coaching is for me. A sacred ripple I chose to start — because someone once turned around and offered me their hand.


Ready to Start Your Own Ripple?

If you're craving purpose… if you're ready to stop pretending and start remembering…

Book a discovery call — and let’s begin your ripple.
One truth, one step, one act of love at a time.
