"Create the life you want. If you are creating goals based on the judgment of others, you will not have the same motivation to reach your goals, or sustain the progress you have made." ---

Laurie Kroeger, speaker, author, and certified trauma-informed life coach, possesses a unique perspective shaped by life’s highs and lows, much like the majestic mountains of native Colorado. She believes in the inherent beauty of people and is dedicated to helping them find authentic happiness in their lives.

Like you, my life was once riddled with challenges, mistakes, and the burdens of shame, guilt, and depression. I grappled with anxiety, worry, self-doubt, and fear to the extent that I contemplated leaving this world.

Like you, I sensed something was fundamentally wrong with my approach to life. I believed there must be a better way.

I spent 15 years in the corporate world, during which time my son attempted suicide and my spouse battled with alcoholism. Even a mere glance from a computer could unravel me emotionally, leaving me to feel as though I was constantly hitting my head against a brick wall.

Therapy was a turning point. I learned to recognize my triggers and understand why I felt compelled to shoulder the burdens of others. However, when it became clear that my therapist couldn’t guide me to where I needed to go, I knew I had to change. I needed to become the person I aspired to be, not the one I thought others needed.

Early Life and Personal Struggles:

Born and raised in Colorado, My journey is one of resilience and transformation. My life accelerated early; I was married at 16, became a mother at 18, and faced divorce by 20. Battling challenges in relationships, communication, and self-worth, I reached a turning point. I chose to alter her life's trajectory through extensive self-education and introspection.

Professional Journey and Philosophy:

Immersing myself in learning, I confronted my struggles head-on, developing healthy boundaries and effective communication skills. I have turned my pain into purpose, vowing to help others avoid the hardships I experienced. My life coaching is rooted in the belief that seeing potential in everything is key to overcoming any challenge.

Mission and Motivation:

I am not just a coach; I strive to be a beacon of hope for those navigating life’s complexities. My mission is to guide people towards a life of genuine happiness and fulfillment. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and deeply empathetic, driven by a passion for seeing others thrive.

​

Final Thought:

"Make it a great day!" - This simple yet powerful mantra encapsulates my optimistic outlook. I seek to inspire not just through words but through my life’s remarkable story, encouraging everyone to create the life they desire, free from the limitations of others' judgments. ---
