Therapy digs into your past to heal wounds and understand patterns that might be holding you back. It's about processing trauma, working through deep emotional blocks, and healing from the inside out. If you're struggling with postpartum depression, unresolved childhood issues, or serious mental health concerns, therapy is going to be your go-to.

Coaching is all about moving forward from where you are right now. We don't spend tons of time analyzing why you got here - instead, we focus on where you want to go and how to get there. It's like having a supportive friend who holds you accountable and helps you create the life you actually want. Perfect for when you know something needs to change but you're not sure what or how.

Consulting/mentorship is when someone who's been where you want to go shares their roadmap. They've walked the path, made the mistakes, and figured out what works. A consultant gives you their expertise and proven strategies, while a mentor guides you with wisdom from their own journey.

Here's the thing - you might need different approaches at different times. Maybe you start with therapy to process some deep wounds from your past, or to get from healing to functional. Then you move on to coaching and consulting/mentorship to work on a plan to achieve your goals and dreams, or to get from functional to unstoppable.

The Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC approach combines pure coaching with consulting/mentorship (sometimes called "hybrid coaching"). This approach allows clients to lead their own transformative journey and to find their answers from within through the coach's empowering and challenging questions and exercises and also offers an additional layer of support/learning through Lori's personal and professional expertise, stories, and experiences.

The key is knowing where you are and what kind of support will actually help you move forward. No judgment, just the right tool for where you're at right now. And, during your free consultation call, Lori will help you to figure out if coaching is right for you right now. If it's not, Lori has a large network of colleagues that she can refer you to for your specific needs.

The duration of coaching varies depending on individual needs and goals and the type of program you enroll into. Typically, in order to see real, sustainable results, one-on-one coaching lasts for a minimum of 6 weeks (if working on only one or two goals) and can become an on-going relationship for those with a lot of goals and/or those who are committed to a lifetime of growth.

Currently, Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC offers one-on-one coaching programs (a 6-session package that can last up to 2 months, an 8-session package that can last up to 3 months, a 12-session package that can last up to 4 months, and a 16-session package that can last up to 5 months).

Launching in Fall 2025, Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC will also be offering an online coaching flexible membership program via month-to-month, 3-month, 6-month, and annual subscriptions that will offer group coaching, a community for clients working towards similar goals in motherhood, core course content along with individual exercises and challenges, guest expert presentations, and much, much more. Make sure you subscribe to the Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC email newsletter to be among the first to learn more about this exciting program and gain exclusive access and discounts as a founding member.

Professional coaching gives you something most of us don't have: someone completely focused on helping you create the life you actually want, not the one you think you should want.

You get clarity on what matters most to you. So many of us, especially as moms, get caught up in everyone else's expectations that we forget what we actually care about. Coaching helps you cut through that noise and figure out your real priorities and values.

You stop spinning your wheels. Instead of feeling stuck or overwhelmed by all the things you could or should do, you create a clear plan with actual steps. No more endless research or waiting for the "perfect" moment. You start moving forward.

You have someone in your corner. Your coach is not someone who's going to judge you or tell you what to do. Your coach is someone who believes in you and keeps you accountable to your goals. Your coach is someone who won't let you give up on yourself.

You learn to trust yourself again. Coaching isn't about your coach having all the answers. It's about helping you reconnect with your own wisdom and instincts. You already have the answers within you, your coach just guides you to reconnect with your truths and possibilities.

You create real, lasting change. Coaching allows you to strive for more than just surface-level fixes. It helps you create deep shifts in how you think about yourself and what's possible for your life. These kind of changes stick because they come from within you.

The best part? You don't have to have it all figured out to start. You just need to be ready to commit to investing in yourself and the life you want to create.

The cost of coaching varies depending on the program that's best for you. Unlike therapy, coaching is a 100% out-of-pocket cost and is not covered by health insurance. However, Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC strives to provide financial support to those who need it. Apply for a free consultation call for more information on pricing.

Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC programs are designed for anyone who identifies as a mother, at any stage of motherhood, and has been conditioned to take on the traditional demands placed on primary caregivers by society.

Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC consultation calls last between 45-60 minutes. You and Lori will spend some time discussing your individual goals, including conducting a brief exercise to get an understanding of where you are currently when it comes to the most common challenges in motherhood. Lori will provide more details about what coaching entails so that you and she can assess whether one of the Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC programs is right for you. And finally, Lori will provide more in-depth information, including pricing, about the program(s) she believes would benefit you the most, leaving ample time for you to ask any remaining questions you may have.

Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC's one-on-one coaching programs are comprised of a series or package of sessions, with each session lasting around 45 minutes and conducted via video conferencing or telephone between the client and the coach on a weekly basis.

During the first session of every coaching program, the client and the coach will engage in a goal setting exercise in order to establish areas of focus customized to each client's individual needs. After this session, the coach will create a customized Client Success Tracker. Over the course of the program, the Client Success Tracker will measure progress towards the client's customized goals, provide the client opportunities to reflect on their goals and achievements to ensure alignment and to celebrate wins, and give the client a formal way to provide their coach with feedback on what's working well and on what may need some adjusting for optimal results.

Clients enrolled in one-on-one coaching programs through Monarch Motherhood Coaching LLC can also expect to complete "homework" assignments between sessions and live exercises during one-on-one sessions. These assignments and exercises are meant to help guide one-on-one sessions and provide deeper reflection opportunities outside of scheduled sessions. It is important to note though that all one-on-one coaching sessions are always client-led. So even if a specific assignment is completed for the next session on one topic, the client can always show up to that next session with a topic to explore that is weighing on them more than the assignment topic.
