They say starting a business is hard but its easy when you have help.

Coaching with me isn’t just about mindset or motivation. It’s about strategy, structure, and steps to finally do the thing.

I can help you because I used to be you.

Super successful by the worlds standards but feeling stuck knowing you have more to give and want more.

Quietly envying those who were starting businesses and doing well.

Comparing yourself to them and wondering why you can’t seem to get it together.

Wishing you had a tangible product to sell without realizing that God’s gift is your mind, experiences, knowledge and skills.

Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start, how to structure, market and operate a business.

You’re smart, capable, full of ideas and you know there is a way to turn your expertise into extra income.

But you don’t know how.

You’ve followed traditional paths.

Between your job and school you learned how to be successful at work.

But outside of that you have no idea where to begin.

And that’s why you are here.

Start a business with what you know.

Imagine finally getting it done.

Money

An extra $1,000/mo or more is nice for anyone but it’s not the money that impresses you. It’s finally figuring it out and doing the thing that seemed so hard.

You’re going to be so proud!

Legacy

You’ve already changed the legacy of your family through your education or income but starting a business creates a different example for your kids, family and community. It gives them options and real life references for doing whatever they want.

Freedom

You’re no longer stuck. You’ve done it and gained the skills and confidence to go from idea to implementation on any thing else you want.

 FAQs

  • That’s exactly what coaching is for. You don’t need all the answers—you just need to stop doing it alone. I’ll help you identify your best-fit path (Coach, Course, or Digital Product) based on your skills, experience, and lifestyle.

  • Not necessarily. Certifications can help with confidence, but they’re not required to coach. What is required? Integrity, clarity, and results. I’ll help you decide if certification makes sense for your goals—and how to build a business with or without it.

  • That depends on your consistency and capacity—but many of my clients create and sell their first offer within 30–60 days. We don’t sit on ideas—we test, refine, and get them out there.can make all the difference.

  • I work with women who have full lives—jobs, kids, community engagements. Coaching typically includes 60-minute sessions weekly or biweekly, and action steps you’ll take between calls. You’ll never feel rushed, but you will be held accountable.

  • I get it and honestly have felt this way before too. I built my coaching programs around a combination of what I felt was missing in programs I took early on and what I’ve seen clients struggle with while coaching. I provide strategy, structure, and support designed around you. I don’t call you out, I dig in with you to uncover and resolve your blocks so that you can actually launch your business.

  • My values are rooted in faith, and if you ask for prayer or scripture-based guidance, you’ll get it. If not, I’ll still coach you with integrity, empathy, and truth.
