Rachel — Rediscovering Herself in the Midst of Transition
Client Background
Rachel came to coaching during a profound season of personal transition. She was in the midst of unraveling and rebuilding, seeking to reconnect with her true self, the “wild and natural” version that had long been buried beneath roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
The Challenge
Internally, Rachel felt a swirl of confusion, impatience, and frustration. These emotions sometimes escalated into anxiety and panic. While she knew she was in the midst of transformation, she needed a space to pause, breathe, and discern what was truly emerging. More than anything, she longed for a trusted and sacred space to process it all.
The Coaching Process
Rachel had worked with several coaches before, each offering something valuable, but she found something uniquely grounding in her work with Crystal. Through deep listening and spiritual sensitivity, Crystal held space not only for Rachel’s thoughts but also for her identity as a woman, a mother, and a person of faith. Their sessions became a sanctuary, a place where Rachel could connect with the deeper, less tangible parts of herself and begin to bring scattered pieces into alignment.
Turning Point or Insight
The most significant realization Rachel uncovered was the transformative power of being deeply heard. “Having a listener that I trust is everything,” she reflected. That safe and sacred listening presence became a mirror, allowing her to see herself with new clarity and compassion.
The Outcome
Rachel’s growth is hard to measure in a single moment or metric; it’s been a collection of both big and small shifts. She describes it as movement forward, a gentle but powerful reordering that has expanded her capacity to breathe more freely, think more clearly, and trust herself more deeply.
In Her Words
“Crystal is the coach I most need because she hears my womanhood, my motherhood, my faith, and my search for me inside all of that. She creates a sense of space where there is a thinness between here and beyond here. I can wander into the less physically bound atoms of my being. Like her name, Crystal assists with the crystallization of things hanging a little out of order. My lungs have a greater capacity for inhaling and exhaling after a conversation with her.”
