From the moment I started coaching with Ashley, I started feeling less overwhelmed. Before that, I felt like I was drowning in my responsibilities. The coaching sessions helped me make relevant shifts in my life and business systems. I came away from coaching sessions with a greater understanding of my current circumstances and clarity to help me take the necessary next steps.

There was no right answer, no easy solution, and I needed to make a hard decision. Working with Doug, I was able to find the hard truth of my situation and the solution that was best for me and my community.

"Your coaching and support has been transformative for me. Our conversations guide my thinking and make me not only question but also challenge myself. You help me to see myself and my challenges differently and encourage me to face issues that I was previously unwilling to see or entirely unaware of. "
– ICU Nurse, North Carolina
“Doug’s coaching helped me build confidence, improve my communication, and become more self-aware. One of the biggest takeaways from our sessions was how he helped me look at things I wouldn’t normally think about, showing me there’s often more beyond my first thoughts. That really pushed me to grow and become a better version of myself.”
