Welcome to the pasture, where the grass is greener because we water it. (Unless you live in California and are in the middle of a sever drought. In that case, brown is the new green baby!)
My name is Anna Acuña and I'm the Fulfillment Coach for you—the Ambitious Professional in your 20s/30s seeking work and a life that sets your soul on fire.
I'm passionate about inspiring and supporting you in the pursuit of your passions.
Let me guess, you're bored out of your mind and wish you were doing something more fulfilling with your life. Am I right? Chances are you're good at what you do and make a decent living doing it, but find yourself drained, unfulfilled and uninspired. Do you feel like you're just going through the motions? Do you have all this potential brewing inside you waiting to be tapped (like a delicious craft beer), but either don't know what to do with it or find yourself hesitant to take action? Perhaps you already know your passion and need help figuring out how to pursue it. Or maybe you have no clue what your passion is and want to discover it. If you're anything like me, then you have multiple passions and no idea which one you should pick and commit to.
Sound familiar? I know what it's like to feel lost, confused and paralyzed by options.
I also know how to clear the fog, find clarity, direction and focus around what I want to pursue in my life and take deliberate action.
When I graduated college with a B.S. in Kinesiology and minor in Theatre, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life in terms of a career. All I really cared about or felt fulfilled doing was lifting the spirits of others and encouraging them to pursue the things they were passionate about. There wasn't exactly a career out there I knew of designed for such an abstract "skill set" though. Besides that, all I knew was I was passionate about many different things and wanted a career that would allow me to do a variety of things. So, despite the very real and looming burden of student loan debt, family expectation, social expectation and the pressure to settle down and find a "real job", I held off in search of a career that set my soul on fire. A career that not only allowed me to connect with and support others in the pursuit of their passions, but also provided the creative fulfillment, sense of purpose and freedom I desired, especially in terms of my time and money.
I've never been one to do things for money. Instead of choosing a job to just pay the bills, I pursued my passions to see which one would be a fulfilling career option. I trusted my instincts, let my passions guide me and tapped into the abundance of potential I possessed. I pursued and enriching collection of work experiences and took advantage of opportunities I never thought possible before.
Some of those opportunities included working in the entertainment industry, teaching and education, becoming a certified Yoga Instructor, learning web design and working for an e-commerce scuba company.
In the pursuit of my passions, I discovered what matters most to me and started crafting an intentional vision of my life. Along the way, I came across Life Coaching and began to contemplate the idea of starting my own business as an entrepreneur. To be completely honest, the idea of starting my own business scared the shit out of me and the thought of turning into a "salesy, bottom-line crazed douchebag" was a huge turn off—you know what I'm talking about. So, I spent another 3 years mulling the idea over while working for other people hoping to find my dream job. Eventually, it became undoubtedly clear that the life I sought was one of my own making and on my own terms.
Pursuing my passions led me directly to the work I had been looking for all along; life as a Wild & Free entrepreneur!
So let me ask you...what are you passionate about? Would you like to pursue it?
Pursuing your passions is the key to creating a life that sets your soul on fire. When you do the things you love, work becomes a fulfilling, energizing and worthwhile use of your time that allows you to create, innovate, make a profound difference in the world, and live your life to the fullest. It boosts your health and all aspects of your being—mind, body, and spirit.
If your instincts tell you to pursue your passions, then trust your gut and tap into your boundless potential. As your coach, I will guide you through the process of discovering and pursuing your passions, so you can create a life that sets your soul on fire.
Follow me and soon you will be Wild & Free!
Do you feel deep in your beautiful soul that your work is
- unfulfilling, and lacking meaning and purpose
- draining your energy and squeezing the life (and soul) out of you, while
- affecting your confidence and positive outlook on life?
And do you find yourself in the wonderfully liberating stage of thinking about your next career move, but are unsure of what to do next and how to move beyond your fear to action?
Do you need a little inspiration and guidance?
Do you want to take that first step toward your soul’s purpose, but need some inspiration and the guidance of someone who’s been where you are and who’s soul is thriving?
As a coach, I guide and support professional women in their 40s and 50s, who are at a crossroads in their career, to find their soul’s path in their work, so they can feel whole, truly be their authentic self and live with renewed confidence, passion and energy.
It may help you to know how I got here. Corporate Vice President, Strategic Consultant, non-profit Director of Operations, small business founder and chocolatier, and now coach. I have made many BIG work transitions in my career looking for my soul’s purpose and I am my own best client.
I know how hard it is to take that first step to leave a job, stride confidently into a new career, or design and create a business of your own. I’ve been there. It can be daunting, scary and even paralyzing, but it doesn’t have to be.
If you’d like a companion and guide on your journey of discovery, design and realization of a soul-fulfilling career, one that has purpose and passion, and is authentic to who you are and who you are becoming, I am that coach.
Does finding your soul’s path sound right and true and beneficial for you?
If it does, then join me on a journey towards your soul’s path, and you will
- Discover your unique gifts, skills and strengths
- Get clear about your soul’s path and feel aligned with it
- Have renewed energy and feel passionate about life again
- Feel a sense of wholeness as you live into your authentic self
- Have the confidence and inner resources to take action
- Receive your own Soulscape –landscape of your soul of how to be, what to do, and what you need to reach your goal and live into your soul's path

Sick of the daily grind, but don't know what else to do?
What if you could pinpoint your purpose, take steps toward the livelihood that's right for you and make the rest of your life the best of your life?
My name is Sara McArdle, and I coach mid-career professional women to find the work that delights and energizes them, and aligns with their sense of purpose.
Dreamy, right? Because if you’re like my clients, you’ve been dissatisfied doing what you’re doing for a living—for years. You’re stressed out, frustrated, uninspired or possibly flat-out unhappy, and it's having an impact on your well-being. Maybe you're not getting the respect and appreciation you need. Or, perhaps what you’re doing just “isn’t you.”
Whether you’re clueless about what else to do, you’re scared of losing your cushy pay and benefits or changing your career field is simply too daunting to dive into on your own, I’ve got your back. My programs are designed to help you leave the daily grind behind. We’ll shine a light on which areas of your life are supporting your career change and which ones are holding you back, and we’ll uncover your deepest values and hidden talents. You’ll clarify the work you’re called to do, you’ll have a roadmap and strategies to get from here to there and you’ll begin to take courageous steps toward the livelihood that’s right for you.
Why me? Well, I’ve been down the road of career change, myself. I certainly wasn't born with a clear "calling.” I picked my field in one, five-minute conversation when I was 17 years old. And while I knew as soon as I started working professionally that something was missing, it took me 20 years to try something different. I wish I’d known how much more quickly and easily I could find fulfillment, with the right help!
I have the credentials, too. I’m a Whole Person Certified Coach through Coach Training World and I’ve been practicing NVC since 2013—a discipline that helps people transform their negative self-talk and take actions that bring increasingly greater satisfaction.
Why wait another minute to connect with your calling and do what makes you come alive? Book a free, 30-minute strategy session today at www.saramcardle.com. Let's go!

I work with people who are ready and able to engage in developing their own self-awareness and start leveraging it to accomplish their goals.
If you're looking to take action on your goals, your self-awareness and/or your dreams, I'd love to talk with you.

I'm a divorce and transition coach. I help midlife professionals create their authentic life through planning and execution. In addition to years of related training and experience (as a lawyer, negotiator, mediator, HR manager and consultant), I completed my amicable divorce in 2017. I never thought I'd get divorced, but it was the right decision for me. In 2015, I began my self-help journey, reading every self-help book available and listening to hundreds of hours of podcasts. I became interested in coaching by studying the work of Tony Robbins, Jennifer Bailey, Wayne Dyer, Brene Brown, Abraham Hicks, and Gary Zukav, to name a few. I completed course work on the Science of Happiness (under EdX). In 2017, after my divorce, my life has improved dramatically, I created a divorce Meetups group, to help those at various stages support each other and learn about the process. I found that people are afraid of divorce and ill informed. My divorce was amicable and I didn't want others to experience the confusion, self-doubt, and judgment that plagued me. Although, I have the experience and training to help people confront major life decisions such as relocation, divorce, separation, career change, co-parenting, life dissatisfaction, and illness, I also have the personal experience of taking action in major areas of my life and overcoming adversity. If you're struggling with your relationship, career, or other situation, and are considering whether to move on; or if you're just plain stuck, I can help you identify the issues, organize them, and develop an action plan to move you forward, and live your most authentic life. Your fulfillment has no price tag. Investing in yourself is critical to your well-being, and essential to your growth. My process entails forging a strong, safe, and trusting relationship with my client, reflecting and observing, using proven coaching techniques, asking the right questions, and holding my client accountable for his or her commitments. If you're ready to own your situation and improve it, and you're least thinking about what to do, please schedule a complimentary "get acquainted" session, at no cost. I'm looking forward to hearing from and learning about you!
As an intuitive relationship and leadership coach, my mission is to support others in gaining the skills necessary to build high-quality, successful connection and to develop, connect, and empower leaders to be the love they want to see in the world, creating positive change via their contribution.
With my support, you can become your greatest asset and use the skills developed to create a massive impact for yourself and others! You will become the source of everything great in your life. You have the ability to manifest it all, let me show you how.
The inward quest. With a trustworthy guide.
So here’s what I can offer you—what you can’t seem to find on your own—Clarity. It’s not divining and it’s not some fancy gimmick. It’s a process of discovery and inquiry that we will rigorously work through together.
If you are at a crossroads in life,
If you feel stuck and can’t seem to un-stick yourself,
If you are ready for a new chapter,
If you want to find your way back to yourself,
If you are done with constantly seeking distraction,
If you want more out of life, to be more,
Then I’m your guy. Because I have been where you are at. I have crossed those rivers, many times. I know what it’s like to keep spinning the same damned wheel and wonder where it’s all going. I’ve felt powerless and small. And what is that about? Who told me to feel small, took my power away?
Call me a coach, a guide, a mentor. I don’t really care. What you’re after is Clarity. Because that’s your next step to momentum, to creativity, to full self-expression. And that’s what I’m going to help you unlock in yourself.
Best to hop on the phone, chat about where you are at.
If you are looking for the meaningful coaching partnership, that will help you achieve your goals and start or change your career in alignment with your personality, interests and values, I would love to work with you!
How can I support you?
My educational background in psychology, psychotherapy, management of human resources and coaching, together with more than 10 years of experience in training facilitation with individual contributors, leaders and trainers (in NGO and multinational corporation) have helped me to understand the needs and challenges of professionals and to define my coaching method.
I also went through personal career transformation several times, so I've been where you are right now, and I know you can get to your desired destination!
We will start by defining together your goals, your amazing potential and challenges that you would like to overcome, and then define winning actions for the success and happiness in your career.
Interested?
Just drop me an e-mail, so that we can arrange a 30 minutes call, to meet and start your career development journey!
Hi, and welcome Visionaries, Creative Entrepreneurs, and Innovators!
I'm Gail.
I champion you to be your most courageous self, and help you to unleash your projects and your visions.
As someone who’s done everything from creating large-scale arts and entertainment productions, to collaborating on new technologies and immersive experiences, I get it—it’s easy to feel stuck—like you’ve hit a wall, when you’re working so hard to create something new.
This is why I draw from all of my experiences, including my lifelong exploration of innovation and consciousness, to help you move forward.
Most importantly, I help you to harness your courage. Why?
Because stepping into the unknown and trusting in the process of innovation takes courage.
This is when move beyond your comfort zone, break-through old boundaries, change whatever needs to be changed, heal whatever needs to be healed. You act.
I would love to help you to take this leap—
Make your invisible dream VISIBLE and ACTIVE, and do what you care about the most.
Consider contacting me for a complimentary coaching call!
Why work with me?
Because I was you! I struggled to find my place both personally and professionally. It wasn't until I started working with a Coach that I finally found my passion...Helping others achieve their goals and become the best they can be. Now I work with individuals looking to make a transition or achieve a new goal.
I follow the Whole Person Coaching method while blending in concepts from my experience as an Agile Coach. There is something for everyone!
Do you want to understand where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow? Are you ready to identify what is holding you back and start moving forward? We'll work together to identify your target state and design a coaching plan to get you there. Let's get started!
CIAO!

FOUNDER OF WAVES OF CHANGE & YOUR LIFE DIRECTION COACH!
As a certified life direction coach, I believe in the waves of change we find our true direction. Either we choose to make a change or we are navigating trough difficulties in our life, I can tell you that every obstacle we experience will lead us to the right path. We might feel lost, or overwhelmed by the multiple possibilities we have in front of us, but when we are in alignment with our true selves, than even the most scary change can be faced with positivity and can bring us to that amazing stage of our life where we feel fulfilled, happy and in peace! And this is why I am here! to help you get crystal clear on your whys, give you all the tools you need to finally find your direction and live a life behind your wildest dreams!
MY STORY
For as long as I can remember, change has always been a primary factor in my life. Either because I decided to explore more, get to know different cultures and reality, or because it had been imposed on me.
As Joshua J. Marine said "Challenges are what make life interesting. Overcoming them is what makes life
meaningful". And yes, with my ups and downs, everything was quite "interesting"! I got my master degree in International business, I had lived in 6 different countries, I had two changes of careers and I was than able to move to Hawaii. But I knew there was more of me to discover. My soul was screaming out to be heard amongst the chaos and busyness of my life, but I was not ready to listen, not yet! Until one day a big change was imposed to me: my soul mate left me.. That was the most devastating yet empowering experience of my entire life! Thanks to that experience...I WAS FINALLY READY TO FIND MY LIFE DIRECTION!
In that life changing experience I did the only thing that felt right for me: pray. I prayed for answers, I prayed for healing, I prayed for a better outcome, and the universe responded. I needed to go in worth and find find myself back, get crystal clear on my values, my strengths, my believes and use them to find my true direction, my purpose! I stayed positive and kept believing there was something better waiting for me, and that was on the other side of my fears. Luckily for me, I found life coaching and I learned valuable tools and strategies to
heal myself and get my power back. I worked on releasing my fears, I changed my belief system, I started recognizing the voice of my ego and than give more space to the voice of my soul. In few simple words I released all the blocks to the presence of my magic!
Today I am living a life behind my wildest dreams. I worked hard to get my coaching certification to be able to guide as many people as possible, to discover the magic within them and finally live a happy life. I know how scary and overwhelming can be to find yourself alone in those life changing moments, but luckily you don't have to face all of this alone. I am here to help you find your true life direction and shine brighter than you ever did. Because if there is something I learned from all the life changing experiences of my life is that there is always a better plan awaiting for us, and each obstacles we encounter is just a detour in the right direction. Everything will be ok, you will be ok, you will be smiling again, you will love again and you will find your power back and finally be ready to shine!
As Marianne Williamson said: "We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”
HOW I CAN HELP!
I believe we have all been brought to this World to shine bright and be happy, the way we do that is our own unique magic. I do believe we are all powerful behind our imagination, and in a World that teaches us to always plan for the worst is crucial we instead find our own direction to shine bright and manifest everything we want in life. Helping people to find that source of love, power, energy inside of them is what I've been brought to this world for. Is never to late to find your way in life, each obstacles you have encountered brought you closer to
what you are meant to be. This is the time for you to believe again, to fall in love, to dream big, to smile, to laugh, to leave fears behind, to realize whatever you put yourself into... to be stronger, to be healthier... to BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF!
If you are ready to invest in your dreams and finally find your power and shine bright than I am the right person for you!

As your Whole Person Coach, I will help you find your own authenticity so you can live a life you thought was only possible in your dreams. This is not therapy – we won’t focus on the past or diagnose you based on an existing set of conditions. This is not consulting – I don’t provide advice or “do the work” for you. What I will do is create a confidential, judgment-free space for you to express who you are as you learn to feel at home in your own skin. We will go through some exercises together to help us both identify and understand the areas you’d like to work on together. I will remain curious with you, asking dozens of thoughtful questions, hearing you fully and completely as you unravel your own brilliance.
I will help you define your dream life and, most importantly, I will help you get there.
With love, light and gratitude,
Raychel

ANSWER THIS QUESTION: WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY?
I’m Robin and I help depleted givers discover joy. You’ll hear my story later, but… could this be yours?
You are a GIVER: Busy, involved, committed. Your life feels complete. You have important people and situations to pour your heart into. But you have been giving so much to so many, you are depleted. You want to feel joy and excitement, but you are overscheduled. Joy isn’t even on your list. Answering the question of “what brings me joy” stumps you at first. You’re not sure if it’s ok to ask for more. Your life is full and should feel very rewarding. You worry that if you want to seek joy for yourself, you will appear selfish or ungrateful.
You admit you can’t stay depleted forever. You want to have a full bucket so you have something to share. This is what really matters to you. You could be more helpful to others if you had more within.
And, if you are honest, you want to have a full bucket for you. You want to have energy, zest, spontaneous adventures and fun. You want to feel great about your life, the whole thing, even the self-care part… the part that always comes last, if it comes at all.
Spare time is nonexistent, and you don’t believe you should slow down to focus on yourself. You don’t want to give anything up, but you recognize that if you had the time, things would be different. You would add in some of the things that used to make your heart sing, things that used to make you feel most alive.
Life is full, life is busy, yet your deepest fear is that this is all there is.
Sound familiar?
I’VE BEEN THERE AND IT ISN'T FUN
I was last on my own lists. Who am I kidding, my name never even made it onto the page. I love being a giver. The world is hurting and I can do something about it. All of my endeavors have involved giving: Contributing to a marriage, being actively involved in the lives of our two children, running a nutrition counseling practice for those with eating disorders, building a youth ministry program, providing life enrichment for senior citizens in care homes.
To me, giving is as natural as breathing.
But giving to myself… that’s another story.
I rarely factored myself into any of the above. I did not want to address my own needs. I didn’t think there was time. And I believed it was selfish. My thought was, “I am selfless, I am here for others!” I ignored multiple warnings from loved ones. You know, “You have to take care of yourself if you want to be able to take care of anyone else.” I thought they were wrong, that I am not like other people. I am a giver.
Then it happened… I ran myself into the ground. It all came to a screeching halt. I crashed and burned.
I became apathetic – me! – I didn’t care.
I did NOT care.
You know those stories of people who survived their own deaths? I could relate. I felt like I had flatlined. Let me say, it was scary, uncharted territory, and I did not like being there. My bucket was empty and I could no longer give.
I did not know that seeking joy for myself could have prevented this. I had been a happy person, living the life I wanted. But happiness and joy are different. I had neglected my own personal joy for so long– never addressing what brings ME joy. It was all about bringing OTHERS joy - and I had mountains of inner work to do as a result.
I got professional help. It took so much time out of my schedule. I missed 6 weeks of work. I could not face the fact that I didn’t care about work, so I didn’t go in. I didn’t get paid. I felt like such a failure. I learned that I had become depressed because I had not been meeting my own basic needs. For the first time, I thought, “What in the heck do I NEED?”
I realized that one of my greatest sources of joy was self-care and I was no longer going to ignore my needs.
BEAUTY FROM THE ASHES
I now try to prioritize my needs because of the joy it gives me. It feels great! I still love reaching out to others, I just remember to reach out to myself.
When my personal joy bucket is full, I have so much to give. THE TRUTH IS, WHEN I AM JOYFUL, I HAVE EVEN MORE TO GIVE THAN I EVER HAD BEFORE! I would love to help you add joy to your life before it’s too late, before you have nothing to give. Let’s figure out what brings YOU joy. Let’s fill YOUR joy bucket together and watch it overflow!
Here is the beautiful thing that must not be overlooked: Seeking joy is not selfish! It’s the exact opposite, because joy is contagious! It’s impossible to fill your joy bucket without it spilling over. Simply put, joy coaching is like a “buy one, get a load free” investment.
JOY COACHING IS A THING BECAUSE I SAID SO
I had never heard of a joy coach, but that didn’t matter. I knew that I could help depleted givers add joy to their lives, so I took a leap of faith and got the training and certification I needed. My clients have LOVED adding joy to their lives! Every one of them has had a different answer to the “what brings you joy” question. Some find it in adventure, some find it in stronger relationships, others find it in improving their health, adopting quiet time, strengthening their faith, or finding a career they love.
JOY WITH YOUR CHILDREN: A working mom wanted a closer relationship with her son. Through joy coaching, she learned that she really didn’t know his interests, so she asked him questions to feel better connected. They discovered they both enjoy some of the same music and began attending concerts together. They now share songs and discuss the impact of the music on their lives. She is overjoyed at knowing her son on a deeper level!
JOY WITH YOUR SWEETHEART: An author was having trouble with his marriage. He and his wife were living on separate continents and she wouldn’t open his messages or take his calls. Through joy coaching, he realized knowing God brings him joy. As he spent more time deepening his relationship with God, it changed his thinking. He viewed his marriage differently. He wrote his wife a 10-page love letter from his new-found perspective and she opened it. They are now eagerly waiting to be reunited.
JOY AT ANY SIZE: A budding entrepreneur wanted to have confidence in her body and start dating. Joy coaching helped her discover that dancing makes her feel alive. She began to incorporate dance breaks as rewards into her workday. She loved the feel of the dance breaks and extended them. Without even trying, she began to love her body. She has since begun meeting new people.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What’s your story?
You must be a giver or you wouldn’t have made it to the end.
Be honest, are you feeling depleted? Did you know that adding joy on a personal level can keep your bucket from running empty and add richness that can be shared?
And, the big question: What brings you joy? I can help you answer the big question, and I can help you obtain whatever it is that brings you joy. My hope is that joy coaching can help you do what you love most: Give fully to the people and causes you care about, by also giving to yourself.

After spending more than a decade developing educational content for the corporate world, I felt burnt out, overwhelmed, and completely frustrated with all the rules and hierarchy.
I really wanted to work with people who are in the business of creating true transformations — no matter how big or small.
I believe we need to shift the paradigm where our fear of not-enoughness is driving our decision-making and creative processes. When we let scarcity run the show, we rush, make mistakes, and forget about the people we are trying to serve.
It’s time to create a world where we value connection over consumption and put people and relationships at the center of our lives.
I help creative business owners create content and business structures that drive real transformations - no matter how big or small. As their content creator, I use exploration + pattern making + sense making + artistry to create content and structures that support their business and their customers. As their content coach, I support them in creating and staying aligned with their personal navigation system so they are empowered to carve their own path.
Open to senior coach those who are looking for alternative pathways to incorporate coaching into their lives, business or job.
