Build confident decision making for the ebb and flow of life's transitions.

Making decisions at life’s crossroads can be tough.

Finding bravery to make important next decisions can be tougher.

I'm Melinda...

And I know what it’s like to have a big job, the planned out life, good health, the much loved home base and friends, and then be surprised by circumstances that change everything. I know what it’s like to ponder life’s horizon and wonder, “What’s next for me?”I’ve lived with the crazy-making that comes with uncertainty. At times I felt like I would have given anything for clarity.What has helped me, and continues to help me, is having supportive people in my life who offer pathways to self-knowledge and confidence. Those coaching relationships have helped to bring me the clarity and patience I have needed to go deeper and anchor my life in hope.Transition coaching is the key to considering points of view that honestly need to expand or expire. I look forward to connecting with you about how our coaching relationship can help unstick what has felt stuck and bring clarity to your transitions.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and still claim that I am a Midwest girl at heart. Presently I'm discovering the unique culture and beauty of SoCal with my husband.After spending over 30 years as a national radio host, I came to believe that hope is often something we need others to hold for us during seasons of questioning and uncertainty. Holding hope for my clients is the bedrock of my coaching philosophy.I earned my coaching certificate from the Certified Life Coach Institute in 2022. I believe that clarity and healing are always available to us as we work toward living fulfilling lives.

I look forward to having time with you to discover how you can find the directions in life that are right for you and the inner strength to act on them.If you’re looking for an unbiased voice to hear you out and to partner with you to find the truth you are seeking, I invite you to connect with me.
