Ann Smith — Life Coach
The Story Behind the Work

Hi, I'm Ann.

For over a decade, I climbed the corporate ladder in marketing, checking every box of success — the title, the salary, the busy calendar. On paper, I had it all. On the inside, I was running on fumes.

After a health scare forced me to slow down, I realized I had been living a life designed by other people's expectations. That journey of rebuilding my own life led me to become a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation.

I don't believe in "fixing" you because you aren't broken. You already possess the wisdom and strength to create a fulfilling life — my job is simply to be the strategic partner and compassionate mirror who helps you clear away the fog.

What We Can Create Together

Before

Overwhelmed by the Sunday Scaries and constant second-guessing.

Saying "yes" to everything out of guilt or fear of missing out.

A vague sense of wanting "more" but having no idea what that looks like.

After

A grounded sense of calm and a decision-making filter that makes life feel lighter.

Confidently saying "no" to what drains you, so you can say a wholehearted "yes" to what matters.

A tangible, written vision and a 90-day action plan that feels exciting, not daunting.

FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

How much does coaching cost? +
Pricing varies based on package length and frequency. I offer 3-month and 6-month containers. Instead of a price list, I invite you to a free discovery call where we can discuss the right investment level for the transformation you're seeking.
Is coaching like therapy? +
No. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. We work on where you are now and where you want to go, designing strategies for the future. It is not a substitute for mental health treatment or diagnosing past trauma.
How do we meet? +
All sessions are held via secure Zoom video. This allows me to work with clients across the country — and for you to attend in your comfiest clothes.
How long is the commitment? +
Sustainable change takes time. I ask for a minimum commitment of 3 months. This gives us enough runway to break old patterns and solidify new, healthier habits.
I'm not sure exactly what I need yet. Is that okay? +
Absolutely. That's what Step 1 is for. Most clients come to me with a feeling of "stuckness" rather than a neatly packaged problem. We figure it out together.
