What happens when you stop fighting yourself?

I help people transform their inner critics into their greatest allies, creating a ripple effect of peace and joy in their families and communities.

Your Critic's Greatest Hits

​​

To-do lists that never feel complete

Relationships clouded by unspoken anxieties

Career moments hijacked by imposter syndrome

The persistent whisper of "not enough"​

"Who do you think you are?"

"You should be further along"

"Everyone else has it figured out"

An endless replay of perceived failures

Janet Reade - life coach at When I Grow Up

Let’s face it, no one wants coaching because their life is non-stop butterflies and roses.
 

Maybe you’ve mantra-ed your mindset to within an inch of its life and are sick of playing whack-a-mole with the voices in your head.

 

Maybe it’s the chocolate & potato chips. The mindless scrolling on social media. The Netflix binge. The keeping so busy there’s no time to listen to those pesky voices. Our coping mechanisms work… well, right up until they don’t.

This isn’t about “fixing” you—because you’re not broken. Instead, we’ll explore your inner world with compassion, creativity, and maybe even a little playfulness. Whether we’re using metaphors, music, movies, or doodles, I’ll help you move from fighting your critic to partnering with it, opening the door to living fully and joyfully.

You’re here because what you've been doing isn't getting you where you want to be.

Janet's warm, thoughtful, pragmatic approach to coaching has supported and guided me through some of the most difficult processes of my life, including getting a divorce and quitting my job. Her energy is logical and loving, and I could not have asked for a better coach during these times!"

I looked forward to each coaching session with Janet, who helped me become more confident in voicing my perspective. She asked thoughtful questions that gently pushed me out of my comfort zone, helping uncover my personal values, and lessons like learning what I don't want is just as valuable as knowing what I do want. I appreciated her skillful listening and presence in exploring my career goals. The overall experience was positive and uplifting - 10/10 would recommend Janet!”

I take a different approach. I've created SoulSpeak as a special blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and a generous sprinkle of a host of holistic tools. It's mind-body-spirit focused. Instead of trying to overcome or silence your inner critic, I help you get curious about it.

 

Let’s schedule a Consult Call – 30 minutes to get a feel for whether we’d be a good match. If all signs point to yes, I’ll send you my coaching agreement and payment link, we’ll set up your session calendar and start our journey together.

 

We’ll meet over 10 sessions/6 months. We follow your system’s lead and pace. It may be fairly linear, or it may look like a bowl of spaghetti. (Investment $1500 or 3 payments of $525).
