Hi, I'm Misty.
Your Leadership in Life Coach
For over 20 years, one thing has stayed constant: I'm obsessed with helping leaders stop managing their lives and start actually living them. More than 19,000 hours of coaching. A career that took me from running one of the largest coaching organizations in North America to building my own practice. What all of it taught me: strategy alone doesn't get you there.
I didn't start out as a private practice coach. For years, I was on the inside of a large organization — building what eventually became the largest coaching department in North America.
At our peak, our team coached over 3,500 leaders a year with record-breaking retention — and our clients were achieving record-high volume and income to match. That scale taught me things no training program could.
But the higher I climbed, the more I noticed something that bothered me. Leaders with everything working on paper — numbers up, teams running, boxes checked — who were quietly hollowed out. Not failing. Succeeding. And still feeling completely disconnected from the work, the people they loved, whatever it was they'd originally wanted.
I'd been there too. And I knew the way through it wasn't more strategy.
At the same time, things were shifting in my personal life — in ways I hadn't planned for. My answer to that kind of unease has always been the same: challenge myself. So I celebrated my 50th birthday solo, hanging off the side of a mountain in the Italian Alps.
Whatever I expected to find up there, it wasn't clarity. But that's what I came home with. I was done bumping around inside a box.
Clarity doesn't always come from reflection. Sometimes it's delivered.
All at once. No room for negotiation. And when it came, I didn't hesitate.
I made my move. No more playing small.
Thirteen days later, I opened my practice.
I'd spent years watching what happens when coaching gets squeezed into a corporate framework — standardized, measured, managed. The ceiling was real. And I kept hitting it.
I knew exactly who I wanted to work with. And exactly what I wanted to offer.
Coaching that could go as deep as a person needed, without a timeline, a headcount metric, or a one-size framework getting in the way. When I work with someone now, they get all of me — the business thinking, the coaching, the health background, the genuine care about what actually happens to them. That's not something you can scale. So I didn't try.
Most coaches pick a lane — strategy, mindset, wellness. I don't. Not because I'm trying to do everything, but because I've spent 20 years watching people fail to change when only one piece gets addressed.
Certified Health Coaching
My Certified Health Coaching training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition made one thing undeniable: you can't separate how a leader performs from how they're physically doing. Sleep, stress, nutrition, energy — these aren't personal topics you set aside for the weekend. They're the foundation everything else runs on. So we work on it all.
Most leadership coaching ignores the body entirely. I don't — because I've watched too many high performers quietly unravel from the inside while their numbers stayed green. The way you eat, sleep, and manage stress isn't separate from how you lead. It's showing up in your decisions, your patience, your capacity. Once you see that connection, you can't unsee it.
Energy Leadership
As an Energy Leadership Index® (E.L.I.) Master Practitioner, I use one of the most respected assessments in coaching to reflect how people are truly showing up — their patterns, reactions, and energetic default settings — so they can see themselves clearly and lead more intentionally.
Energy Leadership® is about how we show up in every moment — not just when things are working, but when they're messy, stressful, or high-stakes. Because once you become aware of your energy, you can shift it. And that's where everything starts to change.
For most leaders, it's a perspective they've never had before — and once they see it, things start to click in a way they never have before.
Put that together and you get something most coaches can't offer: someone working on your business and the person running it, at the same time.
My clients are entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and executives leading real businesses. They're not here because they need motivation. They're here because they're ready to close the gap between how things look from the outside and how they actually feel on the inside — and they want someone who can work on both the business and the person running it.
When a leader actually shifts at that level, it moves through the people around them too. I've watched it happen hundreds of times. It's not incidental — it's the whole point.
Together, we work on:
- Profitability and sustainable revenue growth
- Business and strategic planning
- P&L clarity and financial confidence
- Team performance and accountability
- Systems, structure, and operational flow
- Energy, wellbeing, and leadership presence
