The TLC Catholic Coaching process recognizes that life events can bring a series of painful and often unexpected circumstances that can derail you from your current experience of “Normal” life. These events can be so disruptive that they can challenge you in such a way that you are stunned, like a deer in the headlights, causing you to become stuck and not knowing how to move forward.  Following are common events that would benefit from TLC coaching:

• Infertility diagnosis
• Adopting a child
• Loss of a job/Career transition
• Death of a loved one
• Death of a dream
• Separation and/or divorce from your spouse
• Pregnancy loss
• Estrangement from a child or loved one
• Child going off to kindergarten or to college
• Life-threatening health diagnosis
• Chronic/severe health issues
• Relocation to another State or region
• Caring for a chronically ill loved one
• Loss of a friendship
• Empty nesting transition
• Retirement
• Pet loss
• And many other types of transitions, losses, or crosses

TLC Catholic Coaching incorporates the understanding of the meaning of suffering.  We all suffer from time to time.  Suffering is not mental illness.  It is a common human condition that requires love, understanding, support and faith to navigate from the shock of a painful event to the transformation that comes through understanding the value of suffering and the hope that Jesus will make “all things new.” As a Catholic coach, I am called to accompany those who suffer, to help them carry the burden until it can be released in God’s timing and through God’s plan.  As the Holy Spirit as our guide, you will uncover the treasures of the present moment, and be able to discern how to move forward with trust and joy.
