The Next Chapter

This isn’t just life coaching. This is reclamation.
From second-guessing everything… to trusting yourself again.
From walking on eggshells… to walking in confidence.
From invisible and unheard… to centered and powerful.
From drained and doubting… to calm, clear, and in control.
You don’t have to explain it all—just come experience what freedom feels like.
What if life could feel simpler, lighter, and more yours?​
​​
If you have ever
-
Apologized for having normal needs, because somewhere along the way, you learned it wasn’t safe to ask for anything,
-
Spent hours replaying a conversation, wondering if you really were too sensitive, dramatic, selfish, or crazy,
-
Felt rage at your kids, then guilt for sounding just like the person you escaped,
-
Looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the woman staring back (exhausted, small, unsure of what she even likes anymore),
-
Told yourself “it wasn’t that bad” just to survive another day, but deep down, you know it almost broke you,
-
Watched others live lives with safety, softness, fun, and thought, "What if I never get that?"​
​
You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Maybe even sat through therapy sessions trying to make sense of it all.
But somehow, you still find yourself looping through the same triggers, repeating the same patterns, and wondering why—after everything—you still feel stuck.
​
You tell yourself it should be better by now. But nothing feels different.


The answer is easier than you think.
Before coaching, Jean was stuck in a cycle of guilt and self-blame: overwhelmed, disconnected, and convinced everything was her fault.
​
She’d spent years trying to “fix” herself, but nothing worked because the real problem wasn’t her habits. It was the voice in her head that still echoed his.
​
Through coaching, Jean finally saw that her self-doubt, shutdowns, and spirals weren’t flaws; they were survival responses.
​
She didn’t need to push harder. She needed to feel safe being herself.
​
Now, she knows she’s not “too much” or “too sensitive”, and she’s healing. She’s learning to trust herself again. And for the first time in years, she feels like she makes sense.
​
That’s what coaching gave her: clarity, self-respect, and the permission to rebuild life on her own terms.
After a long marriage to a narcissist, I had no idea how to start over. Gretchen’s guidance helped me refocus my career, rebuild my confidence, and create a life that finally feels like mine. Her coaching was exactly what I needed to stay grounded and moving forward. She can help you do the same.

I lived this too...
From the outside, life looked fine. But inside, I was overwhelmed, disconnected, and ashamed of who I was becoming.
I didn’t like my reactions, my body, my home, or myself.
​
What I didn’t realize was that I wasn’t broken. I was still surviving.
Years of gaslighting and emotional abuse had trained me to doubt everything, even my own instincts.
​
When I finally saw that, everything shifted.
Now I help other women do the same: reclaim their clarity, rebuild self-trust, and feel like themselves again. For good.
