Stacy Barnard
Life by Design Coach
Before I became a coach, I spent nearly 15 years working in therapeutic residential programs. I supported teens, mentored staff, and eventually moved into leadership roles in admissions and business development.
​
That chapter gave me a great understanding of people, systems, and transformation. And while I'm deeply grateful for it, over time I felt the pull toward something more direct and more personal. I wanted to return to what I’ve always loved most: helping people reconnect with themselves and create lives that they're excited about.
​
My own journey has included becoming a mom through both heartbreak and miracle, a lot of healing work, some new pink-haired flare, and more than a few poorly timed dad jokes. I know what it’s like to burn out trying to be everything to everyone. I’ve also learned, sometimes the hard way, how to come back to myself with more clarity, compassion, and joy.
​
Today, I coach humans of all ages: teens, young adults, and grownups who are in transition. People navigating change, craving momentum, or simply figuring out what’s next.
​
We work on everything from imposter syndrome to executive functioning, life direction to tiny-but-mighty mindset shifts. Whether you're stepping into college, early adulthood, new parenthood, or something else entirely, I'm here to help you move forward, even if you don’t have it all figured out.
​
If you’re looking for someone who can help you take steps with clarity and confidence (and a little levity!), I might be your person.
