10 Signs You Might Need a Life Coach in Seattle Right Now

(From Someone Who’s Walked the Journey Here—Twice)

Seattle has a certain magic. It’s innovative and ambitious. It’s surrounded by nature and saturated with thinkers, doers, and dreamers. And yet, for many of us, especially those with big hearts and even bigger expectations, this city can quietly drain us too.

I know this firsthand. I moved here when my oldest son was just a month old. At the time, I was craving community, fresh starts, and space to grow into this next chapter of life. Years later, we moved to the East Coast for my husband’s job in NYC. Eight years passed. I missed the Seattle air in my lungs. I missed the trees. I missed the rhythm. Eventually, we came back.

So I don’t just work here, I’ve lived the cycles of starting over, losing clarity, rediscovering purpose, and choosing to live with intention in a place that can be both deeply inspiring and overwhelming.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re stuck in the wrong chapter or like life is quietly passing you by this post is for you. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Key Signs You Might Benefit from Life Coaching Right Now

1. You feel stuck in your job, in your life, or both.
   That Sunday-night dread before Monday rolls in? I’ve been there. Sometimes it’s not a dramatic crisis, just a quiet ache of “is this it?” Coaching can help you get unstuck and bring fresh energy to the version of life you really want.
2. You keep saying, “I’ll get to that,” but you don’t.
   Your goals (side hustle, yoga, novel, clarity) keep getting pushed to next week. Life coaching brings structure and accountability, so your dreams don’t just live in your journal, they start showing up in your life.
3. You’re burnt out and running on empty.
   Especially in Seattle’s hustle culture, startups, tech, parenting, all of it, self-care can feel like one more thing on the list. Coaching can help you recalibrate: not just do less, but do what restores you.
4. You have a dream, but it feels too far away.
   You can see it. You can feel it. But you don’t know where to begin. A coach helps you map the path from idea to action, even when fear or perfectionism gets loud.
5. You’re constantly busy, but not fulfilled.
   If your days feel packed but your soul feels underfed, coaching can help you reprioritize from a place of intention, not urgency or obligation.
6. Your confidence has taken a hit.
   Whether it’s feedback, rejection, or just internal self-doubt, I’ve worked with many Seattle clients who look outwardly successful but inwardly feel like imposters. Coaching helps you reconnect with your worth.
7. You notice yourself repeating the same patterns.
   Toxic dating cycles. Career burnout. People-pleasing. We all have blind spots. Coaching helps bring those patterns into the light, not to judge them, but to change them.
8. You’re craving more purpose and meaning.
   You want to feel lit up again. Maybe you’re longing to create, serve, or live more aligned with who you really are (not just who the world told you to be). Let’s explore what that looks like.
9. You need someone to hold you accountable.
   Knowing what to do isn’t the issue; it’s doing it. Coaching offers not just motivation, but structure, reflection, and gentle challenge.

   

10. You’re in a major life transition.
    Whether it’s a career pivot, divorce, motherhood, empty nesting, or health awakening, transitions are tender terrain. Coaching offers a grounded, compassionate space to walk through them with clarity and strength.

What Coaching Has Looked Like for Others I’ve Worked With in Seattle

• A tech leader in Bellevue came to me drained and uninspired. We clarified her values, explored meaningful work, and she transitioned into a leadership role in a nonprofit that finally felt aligned.
• A 20+ year old attorney on Capitol Hill was scared to make a career shift from something he had thought he’d be doing the rest of his life.
• A trend designer in Belltown struggled with self-doubt and inconsistent work. Through coaching, she shifted her mindset, raised her rates, and attracted clients who appreciated her style and vision.

One of my clients once told me,

“I didn’t just get unstuck—I created a version of life I didn’t even think I was allowed to want.”

That’s what coaching is about. Not fixing. Not forcing. But reconnecting you to your power, your clarity, and your momentum.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to be “broken” to work with a coach. You just need to be ready for something different. Whether you’re in Fremont or Capitol Hill, Bellevue or Belltown, know this:

Seattle may be fast-moving, but your life doesn’t have to feel like it’s rushing past you.

This could be the season you reclaim your direction.

You’re not behind. You’re right on time.

FAQs (in my own words)

What exactly does a life coach do?
Think of me as someone who helps you see clearly what you want, what’s getting in the way, and how to move forward. I’m here to challenge the stories that hold you back and champion the parts of you that are ready to grow.

How much does life coaching cost?
It varies. My clients typically invest in a package that spans several sessions (ranging from $1600–$3,000), depending on depth and duration. We can chat about what’s right for you.

Is coaching the same as therapy?
No, and I love both. Therapy often focuses on healing the past. Coaching is about creating your future. You can do both. Coaching is especially powerful when you’re ready for clarity, confidence, and aligned action.

Can coaching help with burnout or anxiety?
If the root is around mindset, boundaries, and life design. If you’re struggling with deep emotional pain or trauma, therapy is a better starting point. I’ve also worked with clients who do both.

How do I find the right coach?
It’s all about resonance. Do you feel safe, seen, and supported in their presence? Do they challenge you in a way that feels kind and empowering? Listen to your gut.
