PERSPECTIVE: Harness the Power of Your Mind to Reignite Your Spirit
➪ Click HERE to purchase the ebook and HERE to purchase the paperback.
Being human is hard, with no shortage of opinions on how to live well. We arrive wide-eyed and curious, then do our best to survive bumpy rides into adulthood. Thoughts, emotions, and judgments hijack our vulnerable unfolding, labels cast upon our developing egos. Sooner or later we wake up, only to discover we don’t really know who we are.
What if there were a way to make peace with your evolving self in an ego-driven world—to practice being in a world of doing? In this book, Health Coach Sheryl Melanson stitches together a collection of practices that help you to break through the illusion of control where so many get stuck. Learn to harness your mindset to reclaim the curiosity, adaptability, compassion, and agency that will reignite your spirit.

➺ Identify your values and goals. ➺ Uncover hidden challenges. ➺ Create strategies and action steps. ➺ Feel renewed and energized. ➺ Reclaim vitality ~ BE YOUR BEST! |
Is your inner dialogue holding you back? I partner with people to transform unhealthy habits into mindful choices that align with their values. If you're feeling conflicted by living a life that doesn't celebrate your values, I can help you to redesign a more congruent lifestyle.
We all lead intermingled, messy lives and get stuck from time to time. Unhealthy patterns of thought, behavior, and relationship can creep in, until we realize that maybe we could use some help with a course correction. Each moment of your life is a gift, an opportunity to learn, see, and evolve. Expanding your point of view can help to see the possibilities in front of you and move beyond your resistance.
Owning your process by getting back into the driver's seat of your life, with an experienced and trusted partner by your side, will move you in the direction of the life you deserve.
Goals that don't represent our values are often unsustainable and unfulfilling. So, I invite you to spend time on identifying your values first. Only then can you map out goals and action steps that line up with who you are and what you want. Because the human brain is wired for negativity bias, safety, and the status quo, I will offer honest, positive feedback to help you: 1) identify what matters most to YOU, 2) learn from setbacks and overcome obstacles, 3) install beneficial experience to reinforce inner resources, and 4) stay on track until you are ready to do so for yourself.
Because reaching for a better life can feel uncomfortable, I strive to create an inviting space that both challenges and compels you, while encouraging small, incremental shifts as your transforming life unfolds. My approach is results-driven, compassionate, wholehearted, and non-judgmental. Infused with 17 years of coaching wisdom, I will actively listen to your story, support you through life's ups and downs with greater ease and clarity, and help shift your narrative toward inspired action and optimal well-being.

If you have this idea (even if the voice speaking to you is very small and quiet) that there might be another way to live: Listen." -Laura McKowen |

time for a change?
Moving from ideas to action isn't easy. The best of our intentions seem to get lost in the demands of the day, and we begin to wander again in that sea of distraction. Life change is just hard to do alone. Here's where the support and accountability of a Coach can make all the difference!
A compassionate coach invites and listens to your thoughts and hopes, gently guides the conversation in a positive direction, inspires growth in both confidence and clarity, and helps you develop compelling action steps to achieve your goals.
A skillful coach clears the way for you to create your vision and enables you to identify and close the gap between where you are now and where you'd like to be.
An authentic coach is an advocate for you to reclaim vibrant living, creates a supportive environment and walks with you through the transformational space of change.
And a committed coach provides accountability by sticking with you while you practice and integrate your new habits for lifelong health. Through this partnership of ideas and accountability, you are able to cultivate the life you envision living.

"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar. For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them." - Thich Nhat Hanh
"Complaining is one of the ego's favorite strategies for strengthening itself. All that is required to become free of the ego is to be aware of it, since awareness and ego are incompatible." - Eckhart Tolle

~ My Coaching Philosophy ~
In my view, we are each a work in progress, at once full of messy, complicated ambivalence and exquisite unfolding beauty. And, we are exactly where we need to be at any given point. Our life experiences offer us new opportunities to discover and deepen our awareness. Relationships with the people we love, reaching for our potential, and holding gratitude in our hearts makes life richer and infinitely more satisfying. Connecting with people to explore and embrace the subtleties of human interaction with gentle intention and a wider lens truly jazzes my world. As a vital human community, I believe we are called upon to connect and evolve TOGETHER. |
Coaching is a forward-focused process of positive, co-creative change that enhances your health and sense of well-being. As a certified and experienced Health and Lifestyle Coach, I encourage and enable personal ownership of wellness and self-care. I can help you to boost and sustain your motivation to adopt and maintain healthier lifestyle behaviors by empowering you, supporting you, and holding you accountable to your specific and measurable goals. There is no better time than now to begin aligning your values with your choices and actions - start your coaching journey today. Click here to contact me or email me at coastalcoaching@gmail.com. |
