Carrie Rodarte provided the perfect coaching for me at a time in my life when I was facing several big changes (marriage, moving) and wanting to make some major decisions about the trajectory of my career and writing practice. Carrie coached me to identify the barriers that keep me from moving forward, to use my strengths to help surpass those obstacles, and to reflect on savoring the good in my life. Whether you are looking to change or enhance your career, focus on a better work-life balance, or to identify and meet nutritional and well-being goals, Carrie has the experience, tools, and warmth, that along with her gentle encouragement and great laugh will help you to arrive at the place where you long to see yourself.
