Custom Coaching Experience
Create Your Life Your Way
Lean In and Listen
Right now, you might be standing at a crossroads.
You have done the work. You have achieved milestones. You have built a life that checks the boxes others think matter.
But something inside you is stirring and calling you toward something deeper, truer, more fulfilling.
Maybe you are facing challenges that feel heavier than they should.
Maybe the dreams that once lit you up now feel too small.
Maybe you’re craving more alignment, more clarity, more YOU in the life you are living.
You are not lost. You are not broken.
You are on the verge of something greater.
And you do not have to figure it out alone.
We can tailor a custom coaching program just for you.
A Custom Coaching Experience As Unique As You Are
This is not a one-size-fits-all coaching program.
This is an invitation to step into a custom coaching program that is built entirely around you: your life, your dreams, your goals, your expansion.
Whether you’re ready to navigate a major transition, create powerful momentum, take on meaningful stretch goals, or authentically align your life with your values, there is a path forward.
And my role?
It’s to help you find it and navigate it.
I guide you to uncover the answers within you, discover opportunities you may not yet see, and move through the places where fear, doubt, or uncertainty have kept you stuck.
I bring strategy, perspective, experience, intuition, and unwavering support to your journey, helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and the deep fulfillment that comes from living in alignment with your truth.
We’ll work together to create a custom coaching experience that meets your needs, supports your goals, aligns with your timeline, and honors your vision.
The first step? Let’s start the exploration together.
Who I Work With
I work with wholehearted individuals who are ready to invest in themselves and create a life that feels deeply fulfilling, meaningful, and true.
You may be:
- Navigating a major life or business transition
- Ready to stop doing what you think you have to do and start doing what you truly love
- Facing hard truths or feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward
- Longing to change the negative inner dialogue that has held you back
- Ready to expand a business or career with soul and strategy
- Committed to building resilience and shifting from overwhelm to clarity
- Eager to make a meaningful difference in your life, your community, and the world
If you feel the nudge that you are meant for more—more connection, more clarity, more impact—this is your invitation to answer that call.
Wherever you are in your journey, we will meet there and design a custom coaching experience that helps you move toward the life you are ready to claim.

Why work with Me?
I get results.
I have a proven track record. For 29 years, I’ve coached entrepreneurs to develop the mindset, create the structures, learn the skills and up-level their tools to design a life and business that exceeds their expectations.
Diverse Experience
I am a personal development, empowerment and mindset coach, a retired business attorney, a serial entrepreneur, an artist, a student of life, a dream chaser (and catcher), a believer in big, hairy audacious goals and a legend maker.
Extensive Training
I’ve invested countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars in training and education over several decades to learn cutting edge processes and continually evolving resources. Each coaching program was thoughtfully designed to comprehensively package a lifetime of learning to help you create breakthrough results.
Supportive Environment
I create a safe, nourishing, judgment-free environment to give you full permission and safety to show up and be real (and messy). I provide compassionate yet no BS support that gives you permission to be honest, vulnerable and, did I mention, messy.
I don’t just teach transformation — I’ve lived it.
For nearly three decades, I’ve coached entrepreneurs to develop the mindset, tools, and structure to build lives and businesses beyond their wildest expectations.

I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up fully — even in the mess. I hold space with compassion and directness, giving you permission to be vulnerable, honest, and real.
✅ I’ve Walked Through the Fire and I Bring That Wisdom With Me
I’ve navigated soul-crushing heartbreak, career pivots, creative rebirths, identity reinventions, and more cross-country moves than I can count — all in service of creating a life aligned with purpose, truth, and adventure.
From putting myself through law school…
To leading legal teams…
To opening my own firm…
To becoming an artist with a Napa River studio…
To guiding retreats, teaching intentional creativity, and now coaching from the intersection of mindset, empowerment, and personal transformation…
I’ve built a body of work rooted in experience.
And now it’s your turn.
Because of this path, I’ve created powerful, results-driven programs to help you design a life you love — on your terms.
WARNING:
My custom coaching programs are not for everyone.
I want to be very clear who these custom coaching programs are specifically designed to serve.
All of my custom coaching programs require commitment and dedicated time to yourself and your vision of life.
There is no flying by the seat of your pants or showing up unprepared.
This is a true investment in yourself and what you can create with your life.
You can’t create shortcuts for the most important process of your life.

My Custom Coaching Programs ARE NOT for people who want a quick fix or buy a program with great intention but with no commitment.
They are also not for you if …
You are not willing to be coached, receive direction or act on the guidance.
You blow off assignments if they are inconvenient
You are not 100% committed to being honest with yourself, taking a real look at your life (the good, the bad and the ugly) and taking radical responsibility for your life.
You are not willing to invest in yourself or see the value of making yourself a priority to honor your vision, your purpose and the impact only you can make.
Have some questions?
How is coaching different from consulting or business advising?
The traditional consulting or business advising roles are designed to tell the client what to do based on a set of facts and desired goals. Coaching is defined by the International Coach Federation as:
“Professional Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to the individual client’s needs and relates to the client as the expert in his/her life and work.
The coach’s responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve;
- Encourage client self-discovery;
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies; and
- Hold the client responsible and accountable.
A coach seeks to elicit solutions and strategies from the client and believes that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole.”

Why do successful people hire a Personal Development Coach?
Successful people recognize they need to bring people into their lives who have the skills they don’t yet have but want to develop. They value coaches, mentors and advisors who can help them get from where they are to where they want to go. They know they need a trained professional to help them determine the best direction, hold them accountable and to provide objective support and feedback. They also recognize that a coach can help them achieve their goals more quickly than doing it on their own.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment plans are available upon request. We recognize that finances are an important consideration and we want to proactively work with you to find an option. You can discuss the options with Joan during the initial Discovery Call.
What is a Personal Development and Mindset Coach?
The role of the personal development and mindset coach is to expertly guide clients to get clear on their goals, dreams, priorities and vision. A personal development coach helps people achieve defined goals, overcome obstacles, create an empowered mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, become self-aware and learn how to take radical responsibility for their lives.

Can’t I reach my dreams, goals and vision on my own? Why do I need a coach?
The reality is that you cannot create a new desired outcome by doing the same things you’ve always done – you have to learn to do things that you’ve never done to get results you’ve never (yet) obtained. If your current life does not support your desired vision of your life, or you haven’t yet figured out your vision, then change, and the willingness to get uncomfortable as you navigate it, are necessary components leading to success. This kind of change generally requires seasoned guidance to help you navigate the fear and discomfort of letting go of what is to embrace all that can be. A coach can remove the mystery and help you achieve your desired outcome.
Where does the coaching take place?
Coaching is provided over the phone or Zoom, which allows you to conveniently schedule and meet from the comfort of your home or office. I strongly recommend you take each call in a distraction free location where you can soulfully and solely focus on our conversation and get the most out of our time together.
How long is each coaching call?
The initial coaching call is 2 hours during which time we comprehensively review a life assessment that you will complete in advance of the call. Each subsequent coaching call will be up to 75 minutes.
