Life Coaching 101

Your life doesn't have to suck. In fact, it can be really, really good.

If you feel like you’re living in survival mode with everyone’s needs coming ahead of your own, then it’s time we talk.

Life coaching is a tool that helps you uncover who you are and what you want. Gone are the days of self-doubt, stress, and feeling stuck. Together we will create a step-by-step plan to help you develop healthy habits, undo old patterns, and find the peace you’re looking for.

The process looks different for everyone, but that’s kind of the point. It’s not about having the perfect life, it’s about embracing your best life.

Tell Me More

I am a #warriormom because I’ve faced the gravest battles I could have ever imagined.

My two-year-old was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011. I had a late-term misarraige in 2015. We’ve spent too much time in hospitals and too much money trying to survive it all. But I love my four kids and this life we’re creating with all that I am.

Parenting a child with special needs--and supporting a family and loving your spouse and maintaining a career you’re passionate about is… something else. It has stretched my soul and grown my heart in ways I didn’t see coming.

As a life coach, my goal is to help women living in impossible circumstances once again find joy. Everyone is capable of enjoying the life they were given, no matter how extraordinary it is.

What Moms Are Saying

I can't say enough about the experience I had with Kara. She is warm and encouraging and I’m so glad that I finally took the leap. I feel like I am on a better path to balancing the craziness of life and pushing myself outside my comfort zone.

Melissa
Working with Kara has set me on a path with higher confidence and trust in myself to be and achieve whatever I want to create in this life...for myself and for my beautiful family.

Tamrah
I am so glad I said yes to Being Mom Together because I have learned more about myself, my feelings and my thoughts in six weeks than in the previous year of counseling(therapy). I have already seen tremendous positive change in my way of thinking since joining.
