Meredith O’Leary

Life Coach

Supporting you to manifest your authentic life.

People Hire Me Because:

• They see an opportunity for themselves
• They have a gut/intuitive feeling that coaching is right for them
• They feel a connection with me (I am kind, genuine, competent and professional)
• They have things they want to work on
• I am forward (no sugar-coating) and push them to think differently and take positive action
• They have a breakthrough realization in the sample session that leads to immediate results

People Stick with My Coaching Because:

• They feel heard, seen, supported and validated by the space I hold for them
• Their realizations lead to new positive actions and the results they desired
• They discovered and aligned with their true Self, creating integrity, ease and peace in their lives; they feel more connected to themselves and others, and they’re “glowing”
• Being challenged in coaching had them reflect on their beliefs; they are now able to open their minds and figure things out on their own, and think and Be more powerfully
• The service was what I described, “and then some”
• Their perspective shifted to seeing opportunities to create magic, instead of burdens

Through coaching, you discover how to live a life designed from your Essence, and aligned with your Purpose. While recognizing stops and limiting beliefs, we co-create a plan to move you forward in service of meeting your goals. We discover your strengths and play to them, name your survival mechanisms and integrate them, and recognize each accomplishment and area of growth as we go. While making progress on projects of your choosing, we are also working together to increase self-awareness and recognize when you are and are not choosing from your Essence. By having your thoughts, words and actions aligned with the truth of who you are, you create true integrity in your life, and become an unmessable-with force. Once you are tuned in to your power, and have worked the muscle of Being, you are more capable to apply the tools you learn through coaching on your own. And if you do, you can truly do anything!

My Story

My story is a long one – too much to express all in one place. It is full of love, pain, hope, overcoming the impossible and reinventing myself time and time again.

I’ve always been a helper. From helping with odd jobs around the neighborhood as a child, to the service industry, and however I could help or listen to friends and people in general… I just like helping people! I’ve always been one of those people folks share their life story with, someone who is easy to talk to/confide in, and I’ve always wanted people to feel good about themselves and have hope.

After a lifetime of not fitting into boxes or walking the straight path, I started my own pet sitting company and operated it for 7 years. Because of the stressful duties of running a business, I found myself without as much energy to be with people in the capacity I always had been, and pet sitting was a welcome respite. After a few years, though, I came to miss being with people – and then the pandemic hit. It has been a trying journey for all of us – and has led many of us to reevaluate how we’re living our lives.

I came to realize how I had been a people-pleasing perfectionist, and that I was settling for a lot of things, circumstances and relationships that were beneath my standards. For the first time in my life, I had to choose myself. And it was the scariest thing I had ever done. But once I did, the path forward became clear, and a new life appeared before me.

After doing some deep self-reflection and beginning the process of healing from my past, I was (I have no other way to say it but) divinely guided to become a life coach. I resisted at first, and then realized that I didn’t want to be a coach because I had a habit of being lazy with myself and only investing energy into helping others. That was enough of a reality check to get me out of my own way and choosing myself. After saying Yes, I let go of relationships that held me back, moved out of a toxic living environment, and was floating in uncertainty until the next steps revealed themselves to me. Shortly after that, I began asking for what I wanted, making unreasonable requests and upholding my standards and boundaries.

I completed my ACTP (Accredited Coach Training Program) through Accomplishment Coaching, over the course of an entire year. Throughout the year, I was trained by a team of leaders, coached by my own coach, practiced coaching among my teammates and my own clients, and mentored by many coaches. In addition, I needed to realize my own projects and goals and create possibility for my own life – effectively “being the change.” But it was more than a change – it was a true transformation!

This led to my new life – where my relationships are supportive and interdependent, my life is unrecognizable (in the best ways), and I am finally able to help and empower those who want to help themselves! I had to choose myself first, and I had to work for it. It wasn’t easy, but it was totally worth it! And I am continuing to choose myself and put in the work, because that is the stand I am for others, so that they can do the same.

If part of you was moved by my story, then that is your soul asking you to step up for yourself. If you do, I can promise you that you won’t regret it!
