Joy Coaching. A Guide to Mood Hacking your life.

We’ve been asking people for years what matters most. Almost always, the answer is living a happy joyful life. And, almost all of the time, there are snags that get in the way. Joy Coaching is basically a guided tour for Mood-Hacking your life - your personal life, work life, or both - ensuring all aspects of your life are aligned with joyful living.

As Curators of the Good Life, we are obsessed with living, working and playing with more joy and vibrancy. Which is perfect since our jam is showing stressed out female entrepreneurs how they can live and work more joyfully through a revival coaching Xperience taking them from survive to thrive.  We’re on a mission to empower these women to take their lives back from overwhelm and experience greater clarity, peace and purpose. Joy might be on their list; maybe even their ultimate “why.” But, they feel they don’t have the time, energy, support or resources to get there. It may not even be on their radar.

Sound familiar? Want to chat and see how we can add some zest to your life? Before we get into the proverbial sandbox together, we do a Discovery call to find out where your Joy Bucket needs to be filled, or even if you knew you had a Joy Bucket. And, to see if we’re a good fit.  Book a Discovery Call with us - a brief 30 minute, no-pressure, courtesy call to share what you’re interested in working on, see if the fit is right and, share different ways we might work together. 

Sometimes, steering your own happiness takes a little nudge.

There’s much that goes along with dreaming big to create a more joyful and aligned life — but it doesn’t have to feel big and it doesn’t have to be a dream. It’s a process. We provide a model for that transformation. We explore what matters most to you, what contributes to or detracts from joy in every aspect of your life and, together, create a roadmap for living and loving a more joyful life. Then, we help you take the wheel. 

The Zest Joy Coaching Process

When you’re ready to Jumpstart your Joy Journey, we commit to becoming partners and outline what that looks like. A thoughtful and creative journey begins: We ask questions. You spill open. We listen deeply, ask more questions and uncover how not living and working IN JOY is getting in the way. The back-and-forth dialogue you’ll engage in with us is like no other. We guide you to live in capital letters, as we love to say, so you can live a happier, healthier more joyful and fulfilling life. We incorporate a Zest Lifestyle Overview ensuring your emotional and physical resilience and well-being is optimal. We use and recommend pure essential oils for a very wide range of emotional and physical applications such as grounding, centering, balancing and uplifting. After all, you can’t get to Joy without feeling your zest best self!
