Rachel Oglesby 
Life Coach
I have been in counseling on and off since my teenage years. While it was beneficial in helping me process some past issues, I was often left wanting more. I felt like I had been given the map of my history, but I had no clear direction for the future. This is where life coaching came in and changed the game.
The action step pieces I had been missing, I found through this journey of life coaching. I was able to work one-on-one with a coach and create clear objectives and goals with measurable steps towards the future. I was hooked from the moment I began, and I have continued my education and training to help others ever since.
Often, we know of the issues in our lives, we struggle with them every day, but it is hard to figure out the why and how of dealing with them. Life coaching works to meet you where you are at and provide tools to address the roadblocks and find ways around them.
It takes time, anything worthwhile does, but you will build confidence with every success and find plans that work for you. “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, but it also was not built alone. It took time, teamwork, and dedication. I will be with you to support you, through the good, bad, and the ugly.
Whatever your “Rome” is, I look forward to working with you to build the future you want.
What a session with me is like
Hello! I’m Rachel, your dedicated life coach here at the Toolbox, and I’m thrilled to welcome you on this journey.
As your coach, my mission is not to give you some “one-size fits all solution”, if those worked, we would stop writing self-help books, and I wouldn’t have a job. Life is messy and difficult, and there is no magic solution that fixes everyone’s problems. I want to work with you to find the tools that work for you and your life.
Together, we will explore your options with practical strategies that empower you to build the roadmap you want for life. Life’s real challenges, like setting boundaries, managing difficult emotions, and building self-esteem, are not accomplished overnight. They take time, and I will be with you every step of this journey.
You are the expert in your own life, as a third-party viewer I am able to provide perspective and ask questions for further exploration. I tell my clients, you are in the movie, and I am the audience. You are in the movie, doing your best to thrive. I get the privilege of seeing the foreshadowing. This unique partnership allows you the space to “pause the movie” and investigate what doors you want to open.
You are worth it. Maybe you are thinking that other people have it worse. If you break your pinky and someone else breaks their collarbone, does your finger magically heal because someone is “hurt worse”? No, your pain is valid, and you deserve to heal, too.
You may feel like your experience isn’t normal, well, “normal” is only a setting on a washing machine. And here is another little secret: no one has it “all together.” Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have; you aren’t behind. You can't be behind in a race if someone else doesn’t know they are running. Your before photo is someone’s after photo. Comparison is the thief of joy, my friends.
If you’re wondering if things can truly improve, I’ve wrestled with that same doubt, and I can promise you, growth is real, and change is possible. It’s common to feel both excitement and nerves as you move toward a healthier mindset. And here’s the best part: you’re not on this adventure alone.
I can’t wait to support you by establishing action steps, providing individualized tools, and as you discover the confidence to pursue your dream! Let’s get started, change is just around the corner!
