Question 1

What is life redesign coaching?

Accepted Answer

It's structured, 1:1 partnership to clarify your values, prototype alternative futures, and build a life aligned with who you're actually becoming—not who you thought you should be. You work with a coach to turn insight into concrete experiment.

Question 2

How is it different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy addresses wounds and patterns; coaching builds toward possibility. They often complement each other. Therapy might help you heal from divorce; coaching helps you design what comes after. Coaching assumes you're fundamentally capable—it just helps you author the life.

Question 3

Do I need to quit my job to do this?

Accepted Answer

No. Most life redesign happens while you're still in your current role. You prototype changes gradually—a side project, a conversation, a boundary shift—before major moves. Major transitions are tested, not rushed.

Question 4

What if I don't know what I want?

Accepted Answer

That's the entry point, not a barrier. "I don't know" is where coaching starts. You'll clarify through values work, experimentation, and honest reflection, not through introspection alone. Your coach helps you discover what emerges when you actually try things.

Question 5

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

3–12 months depending on the scope. Redesign is iterative. You're not seeking one "aha"—you're building momentum through small experiments and deepening clarity. Most clients work bi-weekly or monthly, which allows time between sessions for real-world testing.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Sessions range $150–$500 depending on the coach's experience and location. Most clients work bi-weekly or monthly. ICF data shows 86% report positive ROI; many say the cost was worth it to avoid one wrong turn—a job taken in desperation, a relationship forced to fill the void.
