A Personal Story…
To illustrate how life coaching can help parents, I want to share a little story.
Several years ago, during my children’s tween and early teen years, I found myself in a state of unhappiness. After a decade of dedicating myself to homeschooling, I realized that in my effort to be an excellent mom, I had lost touch with my own needs.
Neglecting myself became a problem – a big problem. I was physically drained from the endless cycle of household chores, shopping, chauffeuring, and the myriad of other demands that fall on a mother’s shoulders. Despite the constant business, I felt a deep mental boredom—a kind of emotional exhaustion that left me feeling irritable and detached.
I had to face a hard truth:
I was crabby. And I can tell you that if you don’t like being with yourself, neither does anyone else.
I knew then that something in my life needed to change.

Discovering Life Coaching: A Turning Point
During this time frame, I decided to write a book, and this led me to the founding of HomeSchool ThinkTank. However, it didn’t take me long to realize that starting an organization was hard and that it would require more grit, knowledge, and determination than I had imagined.
I clearly remember thinking, “If I don’t toughen up, I’m never going to succeed.”
That single thought led me to seek out information about how to improve my mindset, and that led me to life coaching.
What’s funny though, is that while I discovered life coaching to help me succeed with HomeSchool ThinkTank, I realized that all of the work that I was doing to improve my mindset was also helping me improve my parenting.
Ultimately, I thought, “Every parent needs to know this stuff (mindset work). This is the secret to homeschooling and parenting successfully.”
That’s when I decided to become a life coach. While I didn’t act on my decision immediately, I knew that this was something I was going to do. I wanted to become a life coach so that I could help parents succeed in homeschooling, parenting, and life.

As a certified life coach, I am dedicated to helping parents master various facets of their lives.
When you work with me, you will learn how to navigate the complexities of parenthood with more confidence and less stress. Here are the top ten ways that a parent can benefit from life coaching:
- Control Your Emotions: Learn techniques to manage your emotions effectively, preventing overwhelming feelings from impacting your decisions and relationships.

- Dealing with Changes: Whether you’re moving, changing jobs, or your kids are growing up, I can help you reduce anxiety and improve your outcomes.
- Improved Communication Skills: You’ll learn how to talk things out more clearly with your kids, your partner, and others.
- Parenting Tips: Get advice that fits your family’s needs to help you handle parenting challenges.
- Less Stress: I’ll help you find ways to handle stress better, so you feel more relaxed and healthy.
- Increased Self-Awareness: Discover what you really need and want, and how to act on it.
- More Confidence: Speak with confidence and feel better about the decisions you make as a parent and in your life.

In our sessions together, you’ll discover the profound influence your thoughts have on your life and your children’s lives. More importantly, you’ll gain practical skills for effectively managing your mind, which will help you become the person and parent you want to be.
I know that life coaching has led to significant positive transformations in my life, and I believe that it can make a significant difference in your life, too.

How Life Coaching Helped Me & Why I Am Certain It Can Help You, Too
While I believe that I have always been a good mom and person, I am certain that I am a much better parent and human than I was before I found life coaching.
Through life coaching, I have become much more aware of how my thoughts impact my life and the lives of my children, family, friends, and the world at large. I have overcome fears, developed a deep compassion for humanity, and discovered a level of confidence that I didn’t know was within me.
While you will find life coaching because you are struggling in some area of your life, I truly believe that life coaching will help you develop a self-awareness that will positively impact your life and generations beyond you.
This is why I strongly recommend signing up for life coaching with me: I believe the work you do with me will have a positive impact on you and your children.

How Much Does Individual Coaching Cost?
I know parents of school-age children have a lot of expenses, so I’ve made my coaching packages through HomeSchool ThinkTank incredibly affordable.
Compared to many other services like a massage, haircut, or other consulting services, you’re very likely to spend upwards of one hundred dollars for one appointment and the results are probably short-lived.
On the other hand, the skills you develop through life coaching will last a lifetime, and your cost will be much less, too!
Whether you’re facing parenting challenges, personal growth hurdles, or relationship issues, my coaching is tailored to meet your unique needs.

How To Get Started with Life Coaching?
I want to be sure that I can help you before agreeing to be your life coach. Whether we decide to work together or not, I am certain that this session will benefit you.
You do not need to do anything to prepare for your consultation. During our time together, I’ll ask you a few questions to see where you need the most help. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask me questions.
Please note that your free consultation is not a coaching session. It is simply an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I want to understand your situation and I also want you to have confidence before signing up for a coaching package with me.

Frequently Asked Questions About Life Coaching
Why do you need a life coach?
Have you ever felt stuck, had a challenge you couldn’t overcome, or a goal that you were trying to achieve? As a life coach, I help parents overcome their challenges and achieve their goals so they can improve their lives. Through life coaching sessions, you will learn skills to help you manage your mind, improve your life, and be the parent you want to be.
What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Life coaching is future-oriented and focuses on improving current life situations and achieving goals. Therapy is better suited for people who need help with psychological issues, past traumas, or processing things from their past.

Through HomeSchool ThinkTank, I offer individual life coaching services to homeschooling and non-homeschooling parents who have children under 19 years old. If you are interested in homeschooling, I combine homeschool consulting with my life coaching services.
Do you coach teenagers?
In some instances, I will coach teenagers. If you are interested in having your teenager coached, please schedule a complimentary appointment with me. During the free consultation, I prefer to speak with the parent alone.
Where do the coaching sessions happen?
We’ll meet on Zoom for our coaching sessions. If you haven’t used Zoom before, don’t worry, it’s not difficult. You can use it from your phone or computer.
