What's your business, and who are your customers?

SOULution Life Coaching is a Life and Wellness Coaching practice founded in 2016 with the mission to guide you into the absolute, best version of yourself. We are passionate about helping clients achieve and maintain personal freedom by utilizing a variety of holistic techniques, blending coaching science and internal awareness. Offering one on one coaching sessions to individuals, couples, and groups. In-house coaching intensives for people who feel stuck in their everyday lives. We also host local and international retreats and workshops. Our clients are ready to do the work, to deep dive and transform their lives so that they can live happier and healthier lives.

Tell us about yourself

Finding recovery from my drug addiction at 19 years old gave me the gift of discovering solutions at a young age. Because of recovery, I've had almost 20 years to develop my mind, body, and spirit. I knew I wanted to bring the tools I accumulated to others, knowing how useful these modalities would be to our community. I began to understand that everyone experiences suffering and disconnection (the human condition), and we all need someone to turn to for perspective and support. I am committed to the work, it's my antidote to life, and I am committed to sharing it with others. My motivation is driven by watching the light come back in people's eyes, those magical moments where the information clicks and the tools become a new way of life!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is the tangible evidence of the work working in my clients' lives. Seeing the freedom. When I run into someone I've worked with out in public and they look me in the eyes and tell me the work changed their lives. The profound reviews. The texts years later that refer to having a more satisfied life because of our time together. Watching old clients from a distance and seeing the freedom that comes from living in alignment with their values. The thing about healing is we become more able to pour into life and the people around us, like a trickle effect of greatness.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Navigating burnout while trying to grow my business. The idea was that success was only possible if I killed myself. Like many of us, I grew up in a "hustle culture," where I was taught that resting or slowing down takes away from my value. I find it important, while running a wellness practice, to have integrity in the teachings I teach. Teachings that include prioritizing boundaries, self-care, and family. Saying no to gigs or clients that don't resonate with my work. Knowing when I need a break or it's not a fit, even when it costs me. Not only has it been vital for me to learn where to say no so that I can stay balanced and continue to hold space for others but for myself. If I become burnt out, I begin to resent the work, and that doesn't serve anyone.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Sometimes, you just have to WING IT. As long as your motives are pure, put one foot in front of the other and GO. It won't ever be perfect, and if you wait for it to be, you may never start.
  2. Be authentic. Stop constantly watching similar businesses and find your own voice. You are powerful beyond measure, and you bring a unique gift to your community. Trust that.
  3. Do it scared. I've gained my most powerful experiences by doing the thing scared. Having a crazy idea and making it come to life, embracing the new and messy. When we do that, even if the outcome is failing, we build internal trust, GRIT, and resilience.
  4. Manage your expectations. I hear from so many new entrepreneurs coming out of the gate with an idea they are going to make 10k a month. Take it easy, do the work, and give yourself and your clients the time it takes to become GREAT!
