I first heard about Lynda’s life coaching services through a good friend. He told me how he had been considering a career change and that one two-hour session with Lynda totally changed his perspective, allowing him to connect better with what he truly wanted, and opening him up to all kinds of opportunities that were available for him to meet his unmet creative, lifestyle and professional needs.
I had been stuck in life for a long while, so his impressions of Lynda and the idea of Life Coaching stayed with me.I wondered how a similar experience would help me, and how a Life Coach might have a different, more potential-affirming perspective than the psychologists and therapists that I had dealt with in the past.
Up until that point, I had been feeling very disconnected from myself and what I truly wanted in life. I knew what I wanted in an ideal scenario and yet I wasn’t able to get myself to move forward.
There were days when I really couldn’t find the will to get myself out of bed to do something productive, and I was beating myself up inside for not having been able to change my situation. At age 29, this was a feeling that I had been dealing with, in some form or another, for 10 years or so.
Perfection was my standard, and everything that would fall below it wouldn’t even be worth trying. I knew that the past several years had been imperfect, and I felt that the present was imperfect, so I felt defeated before I had even gotten started.
A few weeks later, I got Lynda’s number from my friend and scheduled an appointment.
We spent the first session getting up-to-speed on where I was at, and where I wanted to be. We captured all kinds of mental and emotional blockers that seemed to be holding me back. She wrote out all of these in point-form on a dry-erase board and allowed me to keep these notes with a cell phone picture afterwards.
We had captured a snapshot of “before” coaching to be improved upon over the course of the following year.
I decided to open to the possibility of might come from doing this work. This choice was my first step at doing something new and different.

Slowly my eyes began to open to the control that I had in my life — control that I had previously felt was lost forever.
After a few months, my family noticed a difference in me.
Lynda was a valuable lifeline during that period of time in my life. She always responded to me with a mix of empathy, kindness, understanding and challenges to look at things differently in her responses.
Thanks to my coaching with Lynda:
What I valued most about working with Lynda was being able to share exactly where I was at without needing to worry about feeling ashamed or defective.
She allowed me to question my assumptions, ask new questions, own my emotions and needs and become aware of the thoughts, patterns and reactions that went into my present situation.
Because of her coaching, I’ve been able to open myself up to new ways of looking, feeling, thinking and acting in my life — in ways that have benefitted how I feel about myself, my financial situation, my willingness to engage with and live my life more fully, genuinely and authentically.
I would recommend Lynda’s services to people who might have the following challenges: Lynda always responded to me with a mix of empathy, kindness, understanding and challenges to look at things differently in her responses.
