Stop living by DEFAULT, start living by DESIGN
Symptoms of "Living by Default"
- You feel like a hamster on a wheel, constantly running but going nowhere.
- You react to the urgent - crowding out the important things that matter most.
- You long for a vibrant faith, but go days without even thinking about God.
- Your days run together - you're not sure when the last time was that you stopped to enjoy fresh air, laughed so hard you couldn't breathe, slowly savored a favorite meal, or shared your heart with a dear friend.
- You numb out for hours at a time on distractions like Netflix and social media because it's easier than living your own life with vulnerability, risk, and intentionality.
- You're constantly DOING things for your family, but BEING with them and engaging their hearts happens once in a blue moon.
- You say you want change in your life but don't know where to start or how to find momentum.
- Something is missing, you just want more out of life.

Why Choose Veleda as a Life Coach?
I’m well-acquainted with the benefits of counseling, therapy, and mentoring. But until I started meeting with Veleda, I had no idea what a unique and valuable process life coaching could be. Veleda doesn’t give me answers, she helps me find the questions I need to be asking. She doesn’t tell me what to do, she helps me determine the paths I want to move toward and those I want to move away from. She doesn’t push me beyond where I am ready to go, she invites me to a larger expression and experience of my creativity, my writing, my life. And she does all of this with grace, compassion, and a contagious hopefulness that re-energizes me every time. Again and again she calls me back to that small step, that first step, that very next step that makes the task doable, the challenge possible, and the aspirations achievable.

Veleda is a nurturing, grace-filled, intuitive life coach that helped me put feet on the ground with re-starting my creative career. She’s a good one to have standing beside you when you are brave enough to face the Giant. She has a remarkable ability to listen deeply, see the dots in order to connect them, and empower me to walk the baby steps. Her questions were intuitive and thoughtful and she has amazing insight. I still find myself channeling my inner-Veleda when I need to ask the right questions. She equipped me with the ability to actually follow through with my projects and not be afraid of the process. I feel incredibly grateful for Veleda’s guidance and support when I needed it the most.

As a freelance graphic designer, I’m my own boss—which means I can procrastinate and live on the edge of stressed out. Add to that mix several personal situations and the anxiety rose to a fever pitch. Enter Veleda. Her questions, kind accountability, and mirth were just what I needed to help me focus on what I really wanted to accomplish but couldn’t map out on my own. She has the ability to help break down any goal into bite-size pieces that makes even the biggest elephant edible. My goals were met because of her clarifying questions and guidance. I am sincere when I say I couldn’t have done it without her!
