Purpose & Meaning — Vernon, BC
Purpose coaching in Vernon:
the long way around the lake
One-to-one, in person, for the difference between a life that looks planned and a life that actually fits.
Vernon's the kind of place where the fastest route somewhere is rarely the road anyone actually takes — people go the long way, around the lake, on purpose. This work runs on the same logic.
What this actually looks like
A change of label isn't a change of substance.
A lot of what gets called a "purpose problem" is a fit problem wearing a bigger costume — new job, new town, new relationship, and the same low hum of not-quite-right came along anyway. Purpose coaching doesn't hand you a new plan. It asks what's actually underneath the current one, and whether the plan was ever built around that or just around what looked reasonable at the time.
Sessions start with what's already working, not what's missing. A seed isn't told what a tree looks like — it just needs the shell cracked and the weight off it long enough to reach for what it's already built to reach for.
Who this tends to be for
People whose life looks fine on paper.
The job's fine. The house is fine. Nothing's actually wrong, which is exactly what makes it hard to explain the quiet feeling that something's still off. This isn't crisis work. It's for people who'd rather ask the question now than wait for a louder version of it to ask on their behalf.
It's also for people mid-change — a move to the valley, a retirement, a business winding down — who want the next chapter built around something sturdier than "whatever comes next."
Foundational reading

Book Three
Battles of Belief
Built from classic atheist–Christian debates, but the real subject is what's underneath every position people defend — the choice between Love and fear operating below the argument. Useful for purpose work because most purpose questions are belief questions wearing a career costume.

Sessions
In person, in Vernon, on a real clock.
First meetings happen in your own space, for a scheduled one-hour conversation. Ongoing sessions run in two-hour blocks — enough room to actually work through what's underneath the plan, not just describe it.
Before you write
Questions people actually ask.
What if I genuinely don't know what I want?
That's a normal place to start from, not a disqualifying one. Most of the early work is noticing what already has your attention, before deciding what to do about it.
Is this about changing careers?
Sometimes, but not always. Plenty of people leave with the same job and a completely different relationship to why they're doing it.
How is this different from life coaching?
They overlap. Purpose coaching leans toward the "why" behind the choices; life coaching leans toward the whole shape of how you're living day to day. Most people end up touching both.
Do I need to read the books first?
No — they're there for more depth before or after a session, not as homework beforehand.
