I've never worked with a coach. What is it like?Working with a coach provides you with a space to pause and really think about something. (This is something many of us struggle to do throughout our busy days!) Your coach will listen deeply and ask powerful questions. They can help you organize your thoughts, come up with a plan or find a solution to a particular challenge. Your coach can also help you to stay accountable to your goals and commitments. Together, you and your coach will set an intention for the session, talk through what's on your mind and come up with some next steps. A coach is a great person to have on your team- especially as you navigate parenthood!
-
May I bring my partner to my coaching session?Yes! It can be incredibly helpful for you and your partner to speak with a coach together and chat through your thoughts, plans and challenges as you prepare to grow your family and experience parenthood as partners. Please feel free to bring your partner to any of your coaching sessions.
-
May I give one of my coaching sessions to my partner?Yes! We would love to support your partner too. Please feel free to share any of your coaching sessions with them.
-
Will my coaching session(s) be confidential?Yes! Your coach will not share what you tell them with anyone.

"I loved this program! Thank you to Glen Raven for offering Pathways to Parenthood as a resource during the wild time of becoming a parent, and then the transition to becoming a working parent. My coach's support made such a positive difference in my life!"

"My coach was great in helping re-affirm what I (and we) were feeling as we prepared for baby to come and once he had arrived. She helped us find perspective to what we were thinking and feeling, and provided us with the tools to navigate parenthood."
