Why I have chosen to work with Special Needs Parents:

#yesican Coaching with Karen

Coaching special needs families as a Life Coach is a support and guidance tool I am developing to help navigate the unique challenges you face, that I have faced, that we can face together.

Life Coaching for Special Needs Families:

 

  1. My service offers personalized coaching for families with special needs members.
  2. My services include helping you prepare for your future.
  3. My services include providing you with a path for positivity.
  4. My services include your commitment to change.

I will introduce you to:

  1. Various local organizations provide you with medical as well as community information for additional learning in a non-judgmental environment.
  2. Families and services in your area for socialization, for your loved one and for you!
  3. Self-care – It’s the old adage that you must put your oxygen mask on before helping others.

I will become your Cheerleader:

  1. As someone who has traveled your path I can provide you with empathy.
  2. As someone who has traveled your path without support I can provide you with guidance.
  3. As someone who has traveled your path I can lead you to creating new relationships.
  4. As someone who has traveled your path I understand that you may need more than you are willing to change.
  5. As someone who has traveled your path I will assist you in developing your toolbox.

I will provide you with:

  1. Active Listening:
    1. You will get my full attention – whether I agree or not (no judgement) I will validate your feelings.
      1. I will ask you how those feelings/thoughts are beneficial.
  2. Goal Setting:
    1. I will provide you with short term objectives
    2. I will ask you to take baby steps.
    3. I will encourage you to celebrate each step you take.
    4. I will offer guidance on advocating for your child.
    5. I will offer guidance on advocating for yourself.
  3. Behavioral Strategies:
    1. Often when the parent implements positive changes this positively affects their loved ones,
    2. Together we will develop tools and strategies that work for you.
  4. Problem-Solving Skills:
    1. Instead of looking at the negative we will brainstorm for the positive.
    2. With mindfulness we will identify what works.  (We do not have to look at what doesn’t work!)
  5. Stress Management:
    1. If exercise, message, or outside modalities are affordable they may be used to strength your needs.
    2. Independently practicing mindfulness is important as well as relaxation exercises ad well as physical exercise.
    3. Learning to ask for help and not expecting perfection.
  6. Resource Navigation:
    1. As your coach I will provide guidance on accessing and utilizing resources such as therapy services, educational programs, and support groups. (You get to choose if you wish to follow this path.)
  7. Visual Supports:
    1. As your coach I will recommend visual aids like schedules and charts to provide you and other family members direction.
    2. It is imperative that you learn to ask for help.

 “Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.” —Bill Ayers.

(Learn to be kind to yourself)


8/29/24

Let me guide you as Your Coach – Evolve, do not let the time stop you from being your best.


8/28/24

Don’t let anyone JUDGE YOU – YOU Are the Master of YOUR SUCCESS.

 


8/27/24

Ask me how to turn obstacles into challenges, challenges into opportunities, and opportunities into success.


26 August 2024

Identify your purpose – Ensure you are evolving into the Best Version of YourSelf!


25 August 2024

Yes, it’s ok to listen to the voices in your head.  It’s your voice talking to you, encouraging you to fulfill your life – no judgement.


24 August 2024

Do you know what your purpose is?   I thought I did until I realized I was living everyone else’s purpose.  When I chose to listen to my heart and soul I found my purpose and I am living it.  Are You?  If not you may need a little guidance.

 


17 August 2024

Don’t strive for perfection – Strive for self fulfillment – together we can achieve your passionate purpose.


16 August 2024

When you believe you are Unique and Special (not full of yourself) you have a POSITIVE WORLD Ahead of YOU!


Join me on a Coaching Journey!

For years I thought I wasn’t OK.  From a very early age I wanted to be someone else, but still be me.  I looked up to my cousin Gloria who was beautiful and petite.  However, I was never petite, and I felt like an amazon despite the fact I was never identified as fat or overweight.  Although I knew I would never be Gloria, I envied her and so many other females in my life.  What I didn’t know then is what I know now, it’s OK to be Karen the person I was meant to be.  I also didn’t understand I had the ability to truly be the best form of myself, but I needed to know what that meant and find the tools to evolve into that form.

What Coaching Taught Me

  • Marrying young followed by divorce did not make me a flawed individual. What I learned was that the choice my first husband and I made did not work for either one of us.  The ‘hate’ we felt for each other and our situation was a negativity that we could have eliminated if we had the right tools. Initially I did not let divorce lead me to the correct tools to find my happiness through positivity.  It took me years to resolve the anger I felt and have found a peace and calmness in living my best life each day.
  • Living my best does not always include money, gifts, romance, and all the Hallmark™ movie themes. I have learned that my best come with self-care and recognizing how shifting my thoughts can bring the sunshine into my heart on a rainy, cloudy day.  I also accept the fact that it will not always be rainbows and lollipops and as long as I continue to look ahead I will live my best.  I will be where I need to be at that time.
  • I must be happy before I can share and influence others to be happy. If I am sad and lacking the tools to infuse happiness, I will not be at my best.  When I am in a mood of sadness, frustration, and or confusion I know now I need to work through it finding the tools to reach my positivity.
  • The tools are not hammers, saws, or screwdrivers. The tools include using PQ reps which I learned and continue to practice through a coaching program called Positive Intelligence. The practice of PQ reps is one tool used to disassociate from the negative thoughts that may appear to be controlling you.  However, when you understand you have the choice to change those thoughts with a miniscule movement it can be rewarding in living your best.
  • It’s OK to not be OK but it is not OK to stay in spot. Avoid the Maze (my podcast) and Avoid the Maze-You Are Special (my newest podcast), share the journeys of people like you and me that have made choices to be OK and go beyond.  However, nothing is constant and that is when coaching and the tools you will gain will assist you, sometimes with a kick in the Ass.

As Your Coach I will provide you with:

  • One- on- One Zoom Sessions @ 50 minutes each
  • Exercises for you to perform between each weekly or bi-weekly session – This may or may not include something physical that may work for you or something more decisive like creating lists.
  • Our personal sessions, although not under HIPPA will be private between you (client) and me (coach).
  • I will respect your needs and thoughts without judgement – this is your journey I am here to guide you down a positive path.
  • If I am not the best guide for you I will provide you with leads to other coaches that may be best to meet your needs.

Coaching Comes at a Cost:

  • As a certified life coach and communication major, my fees are not covered by insurance. I am not a therapist or counselor.
  • I have a fee range to accommodate my clients. Fees are paid prior to each session and will be discussed prior to your first paid session.
  • I provide a ½ hour introductory get to know you Zoom meeting (no fee) that allows for both you and I to determine if this is a good fit.
  • A typical client meets with me weekly or bi-weekly while working on exercises and changes in between sessions.
  • The first stage of coaching is a minimum of 6 sessions however depending on personal needs and re-enforcements some clients are ongoing for months.
  • For those who may want more of a community coaching experience I do offer a 6-week group program (lower fee). The concept is in addition to working with me the group members can work with each other.  This often helps like minded group members to forge new friendships and develop accountable skills.

As a coach I learn from my clients almost as much as they learn from me.  I work with clients that I personally relate to and often my life experience is what makes my coaching style successful.

Changing Focus – thank you to Martin Clausen https://youtu.be/fZHQC6vNyuU

Avoid the Maze will be transitioning to “Avoid the Maze, YOU ARE SPECIAL”.

This new podcast version will provide me with a platform to reach out to Special Needs Families.  We all have possibilities, and we have the opportunity to choose personal success.

I am a parent of an adult child who has excelled on the Spectrum as well as my husband who was diagnosed late in life.

Today I am proud that I am succeeding, and life may not be perfect, and it is MORE THAN SPECIAL!

For many school children, teachers, school staff, and moms, summer vacation is winding down.  In Northeast Ohio, at least in my community, classes resume on or about August 19th, that means all personnel begin their return on the 1st of the month.  As we begin yet another transition in our community that may touch our lives, it may be time for us to nurture our needs.

Learning never ends, as we evolve we continue to learn, however there are many of us who may learn but do not apply the process to become our best selves.  If we as adults strive for our personal betterment don’t you believe that our children/society will learn that is not about being better than the next person, it’s a personal journey.

As your children, grandchildren, or you yourself are returning to school maybe it’s time to think about what you need to be at your best.

At 74 I have learned that it is never too late to care for myself.  I have discovered that as much as I wanted to be needed helping and assisting others must not be done in a manner that depletes you.  Educating myself and acquiring the knowledge there is a right way to help as well as a wrong way.  You do not want to go down the road against the traffic (unless you are walking or riding a bike).  Becoming a Life Coaching has facilitated my grow in developing a toolbox that has turned challenges into opportunities and I offer those tools to you through podcasting and coaching.

Did you know Life Coaches also work with Coaches to continue to improve and gain insightfulness in areas that may not be part of their evolution.  However, it is necessary in this global society that we listen, and understand, even when we do not agree.  It is not for us to judge, we are all unique individuals, and we all have talent!  It’s now time to find yours and your purpose and live life fully without regrets.

Life Coaching will help you identify and work towards personal development.

      • Set goals that you want to achieve
      • Goals should be set with doable milestones – don’t plan to run a marathon without training for it first.
      • Learn about self-care, not selfishness.
      • Identify balance at work, home, and personal pleasure – you have choices.
      • Listen to your body for signs of physical and mental issues.
      • Accept that we all have an inner voice (sometimes more than one) that tries to hi-jack our thoughts and choices.
      • CLAIM yourself!

Coaching will not be successful unless you choose to make a commitment to yourself.  Don’t change for someone else, change is for you, not them!

Why delay the change you’ve been longing for? The future is swiftly approaching, and yet, discussions about making beneficial alterations to your life persist. It’s time to take action today with #yesican Coaching with Karen. As your coach, I pledge to devote my time to help you unlock your untapped potential. I am here not to judge, but to actively listen and steer you in the right direction. As a client, your commitment is key!

Embark on a journey that adds value to your life and joy today. Own this day and make it meaningful, it’s truly yours for the taking.

 

 

Coaching is like having a friendly chat where you can freely discuss your worries, hurdles, and personal growth in a cozy corner. It’s also a fun way to cultivate a mindset that encourages trying new things and pondering over experiences. This can guide you towards profound and lasting changes in your behavior.

 

According to 2024 data, the standard cost of a life coaching session in the United States averages around $90, typically lasting between 45-60 minutes. Prices, however, form a wide range, from nominal to premium. My professional fee is set at $65 per session, with the average client engaging in 6 sessions, excluding the initial complimentary session. All clients are required to remit payment 24 hours prior to their Zoom session on a weekly basis. I am pleased to announce a special offer valid until July 4th, where I am making available 10 client slots at a discounted rate of $25 per Zoom session. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to invest in your personal development.

Mental Health is something we all should be actively aware of, to become mindful of those stray thoughts before they become deep wounds.  As a Life Coach, I am providing services, not as a Therapist, Psychiatrist, or MD to assist my clients in finding their passion and purpose in life.

My experience and educational training and certifications have assisted me to be mindful of what is important.  The should a’s and would a’s are not important.  Today I concentrate on being the best version of me.  I work at developing my skills and thoughts to lead to positivity.

My main focus as a coach is to help the following individuals live their best lives.

  1. Mothers, fathers, and families, caring for a special needs individual. This may be a child, and or elderly parent/grandparent.
    1. I have been in the role of a special care provider as a child with my grandfather, with my youngest child, and with my mother in the last months of her life.
  2. Women who want or need to make lifestyle changes as they reach an age where they feel invisible. This often happens around age 50 when they want to change careers, facing empty nest syndrome, of finding themselves single again either by divorce or death of a spouse.
    1. I have been in the role, returning to college, advancing my degree. I also was forced into early retirement due to the culture in the workplace.  Empty nest syndrome was difficult as well liberating for me and my coaches assisted me through this process.

In various career jobs through the years, I played the role of a coach.  This was my signal to achieve my certification in Life Coaching, although one need not be certified to offer these services.

What you need to know:

  1. Coaching Services are not covered by Insurance – all sessions are direct pay.
  2. My services are provided via zoom and each session is 45 – 60 minutes.
  3. The first session is at zero cost and therefore there is no commitment at that time. This session provides us with a roadmap and determines if we are the right fit for each other.
  4. The next 5 sessions are designed to be weekly on a set day and time. This is important for consistency and positive results.  [Additional sessions may be warranted and will be discussed on an individual basis.]
  5. You will be invoiced via PayPal two days prior to your session. Payments may be paid via PayPal or Zelle.  [Details will be provided during your first session.]
  6. If you No-Show without notice, you will be responsible for that missed appointment. [Life happens so a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to reschedule is expected.]

At the age of 18 my dream was to become a FAMOUS or at least well-known radio or TV personality.  My journey took a fork in the road and instead I married and worked to put my husband (at the time) through Dental School.  I was naive’ and thought this turn in my path would make me HAPPY and I took this on as a new path.   I did very little observing walking around with blinders on.  I felt unworthy and for many years after I short changed myself well helping others find their passions.  When I have the opportunity to guide and share, helping bring clarity to a situation I am fulfilled.

I have developed yet another avenue for me as well as you as a Coach Advocate – let me lead you to coaches who may have similar experiences and needs as yourself.  Coaching can be a very methodology and yet with the guidance that fits your needs it may just rejuvenate you.  Contact me at newclevelandradio@gmail.com

Let’s find Fulfillment Together

Coach Advocate this is who I am!  Are you looking for guidance?  You are never too old to learn new habits and discard the habits that are no longer working with for you.  I have made some significant changes and my behavior is more in line with the person I have wanted to be.  Similar to going on a diet it takes commitment to change and we cannot expect changes to occur when we snap our fingers.  It is not about wishing it’s about doing.  As a coach advocate my services are ‘free’ any fee incurred will be with Karen – newclevelandradio.net and the coach I assist introducing you too.  Initially I will ask you some of the questions the coaches will ask of you – I will lead you to a minimum of three coaches a maximum of five that will help you through your journey.  It begins with a conversation – getting to know you.  Email me at newclevelandradio@gmail.com
