Welcome to Retreat-Rejuvenate-Ignite!

When the pandemic hit, I was in the last stretch of completing my Master of Science in Management degree at Indiana University where I worked. Knowing I’d be spending much time at home, I decided to explore something new and ordered an iPad Pro. Diving into YouTube tutorials and learning from incredible artists like Stacie Bloomfield, Bonnie Christine, Maja Faber, and Liz Kohler Brown on Skillshare, I discovered the joy of creating clip art, digital documents, digital drawing, creating digital seamless patterns, and reading self-help books on the iPad.

This creative journey led me down a five-year rabbit hole (it’s 2025 as I write this). While some might view rabbit holes as wasted time, I see it differently. This experience taught me new skills and revealed so much about myself that I may not have otherwise uncovered. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. At the end of this journey, I realized I had returned to what I always loved: helping people help themselves. Supporting others through life’s challenges, encouraging, and instilling lasting confidence have been the common thread throughout my career, no matter the industry I was in.

Who Is Our Customer?

I see you, my friend. I feel like I already know you.

You’re retreating from the world's noise to gain clarity and dreaming about the possibilities held in the future.  But you don't know what you don't know and have no idea where to start.  

Maybe you are just starting your "adult" life as you graduate from college, or even in high school debating on going to a 4-year college, 2-year college, vocational school, or directly into the workforce. But you just cannot get started and feel a little lost. 

Perhaps you have been home caring for a spouse, aging parents, grandparents, or children and now you are trying to find your way back into the workforce.

Or you just need to work through the negative self-talk we all seem to fall victim to from time-to-time.

Our goal here is to help you identify ways that work best for you to maximize your greatest potential.  I am here to see you SUCCEED in life. 

Why Are You Here?

Whether you’ve come to read a blog post or seek coaching, you are welcome here.

This process may seem overwhelming to accomplish alone except you are not ready to share your journey with others yet.  I understand because I have been there.  It is a process. I hope that we can help you in some way.  Whether help comes from one of the freebies offered or through one of the courses you can purchase and complete at your own pace, 1:1 coaching, or group coaching, there is something that can fit into wherever you are at this moment in your journey.  

This space is meant to help bring thoughtfulness, self-awareness and connection to big dreams to your life.  It’s about helping you take the next step in your journey to the life you are envisioning for you.

What brought me to coaching?

Since 2016 I have worked in higher education at a 4-year institution as an admissions counselor and an academic advisor for business and economics.  Before working in higher education, I worked alongside some incredibly talented attorneys as a legal assistant, title insurance agent, and Realtor.  Working with people to get through some of the most important moments of their lives has been the key component of my career no matter what industry I was in.  

My journey of navigating career changes while overcoming self-sabotaging thoughts, imposter syndrome, and lack of self-esteem coupled with my education and training has led me to where I am.

A common statement I hear from people is that they feel woefully underprepared to step out into the world.  I sit with everyone from 16 to 70 and so many just do not know where they want to be and even if they knew that, how to get there.   

I want to help you overcome these and other barriers to living your best life possible. 

What you will NOT find here

You will not find cookie-cutter, scripted coaching.  I am a real person who has walked in similar, if not the same, shoes both personally and professionally.  I am here to help you work through your circumstances with a customized plan built for you - not everyone else.  Or, if you are not ready for that kind of 1:1 help, read the blogs, download the freebies, or buy a course that you can do on your own time.  My hope is to have something available for you wherever you are in your journey.

The transition from where you are to where you want to be does not have to be mysterious or hard.  It is meant to be beautiful. 

I look forward to helping you ignite your future.

Thank you for being here.

With love,
Trish Ann xoxo
