Why Susan MitchelL
Coaching Started
Life has its calm stretches and turbulent rapids. I started my Life Coach business after realizing how much I could have benefited from this type of support during my own turbulent periods.
While I had plenty of cheerleaders, I rarely had someone who would listen intently and validate my feelings and emotions.
I didn't need a therapist with a diagnosis and treatment; I needed to feel seen and heard. I needed someone to help me sort through the negative thoughts and step outside my comfort zone with accountability and support.

My calling is to empower individuals navigating life's transitions by providing empathetic, personalized coaching that fosters resilience, clarity, and growth.
Through attentive listening and supportive guidance, I help clients build the mindset and skills needed to steer through life's rapids and achieve their ultimate goal of living their best life.
As a company, I always:
Provide empathetic, personalized coaching
Foster resilience and growth
Listen attentively
Offer supportive guidance
Help build positive mindsets

Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness. Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity.
