Heyyyyy, I’m Coletta and a few years ago, if you would’ve asked me who I was, I probably would’ve answered with the roles I carried.

A wife.
A mother.
A daughter.
A caregiver.

But life has a way of stripping away the things we attach our identity to and forcing us to ask a different question: Who am I when I take away all those titles…

After a 14-years of marriage ended, I found myself starting over. Not just in my marriage, but in my life. I moved back to Ohio after living in California for 6 years. I had to learn who I was outside of being someone’s wife. I had to learn how to trust myself, make decisions for myself, and build a life that felt aligned with who I was becoming. I mean how do you be with the same man for 14 years who always bought your tennis shoes to now have to buy them yourself, like a little help here.

God has a plan for putting you right where you need to be when you need to be there because then life happened again. After moving back October 2025, rushing my mother to emergency surgery for colon cancer. To losing her April 13, 2026,

One of the hardest experiences I’ve ever faced, she was only 60!

And while I wish I could tell you I handled everything perfectly, I didn’t.

I cried.
I questioned things.
I had moments where I didn’t know what was next.

But I keep going.

Not because I have all the answers, but because I learned that growth isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about taking the next step anyway. My relationship with God became stronger. My relationship with myself became stronger. And for the first time in a long time, I started listening to my own voice. That’s where my coaching comes from.

Not from perfection. Not from a textbook.

From lived experience.

From knowing what it’s like to start over.

From knowing what it’s like to grieve.

From knowing what it’s like to rebuild your confidence after life doesn’t go according to plan.

From knowing what it’s like to wake up every day and choose yourself even when it’s hard.

I’m also a mother to an amazing little girl named Journee. Motherhood is still teaching me patience because wow okay, (her favorite phrase now) accountability, consistency, and the importance of leading by example. It reminds me every day that people learn more from what we do than what we say.

I’m in the gym every day, and that has become another part of my journey. Not because I want a perfect body, but because discipline changed my life. The gym taught me that growth happens when you keep showing up, even when you don’t feel like it. The same thing applies to healing, relationships, business, and personal growth.

Today, I help women find their voice through honest conversations, accountability, and real-life experiences.

Through coaching.
Through writing.
Through travel.

Because sometimes the thing you’re looking for isn’t a new life. It’s the courage to fully live your own.

Because it’s those parts, the ones you were taught to bury, that hold your true power. Never thought I’d be a single mom, but life happened and here we are.

This is the space in between and it’s where you remember who you really are.
