Why Coaching?
Many of us get so immersed in our careers and raising our families that we kinda forget what we used to love doing. And some of us dutifully followed that career path that pleased mom and dad, and now want to bust out and figure out what we really want to do.
Do you feel a little lost, but are ready to invest your time from empty nest to retirement with joy and meaning?
I’ll help you take action to rediscover what brings you joy, define your vision, and create a plan to live it.

My Approach
Listen
Clients say I’m a deep, intuitive listener who helps them feel heard and supported. By asking thought-provoking questions, then really absorbing your insights, I help you uncover your values, passions, and goals.
Take action
I’m a happy geek about action plans. It’s so fun to see the results a well-defined plan gives a client. Every session you’ll get a game plan for the week ahead with small steps that lead to big results. We celebrate each little success and also work through the obstacles that might be holding you back when you don’t or can’t take action.
Share Passion
Thanks to my crabby grandma, I’ve been on a quest to keep discovering ways to choose joy since I was 13 years old. I absolutely love inspiring people create the life they want. The world needs more joy...don't wait to find yours!
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Barb Bloom, empty nest transition
Babs is a great coach. She’s intelligent, sensitive, and intuitive. She really helped me clarify my thoughts about our empty nest and create a plan for the future.
Greg Schmidt, pre-retirement
I discovered that being coached is a very helpful, important thing to do. Babs has the perfect demeanor and communication style to reveal the retiree hidden just beneath layers of everyday distractions and unconsidered priorities. It is difficult to be firm and gentle at the same time; Babs is just that.
Ginger Wange, mid-career transition
I was completely stuck in a mid-career transition. Through some intense work, Babs helped me uncover what was holding me back from pursuing the work I really want to do. I gained so much working with her.
