Paula shares her powerful and deeply personal journey from a high-income career in finance to her true calling. She opens up about her own devastating 18.5-year custody battle, a period of profound struggle that led to a spiritual awakening and a promise to help others avoid similar pain. This lived experience is the bedrock of her practice, allowing her to guide clients with unparalleled empathy and a focus on mental strength and holistic health.Paula details the structure of her business, which includes one-on-one coaching, working with attorneys to prepare clients for court, and her goals to launch group coaching sessions to scale her impact. She discusses the challenges of relying on organic, word-of-mouth referrals and her aspirations to expand her services nationwide. The conversation explores the future of With Purpose Coaching, including overcoming the self-imposed limitations of being a solopreneur and her ambitious plans to build a team and leverage new marketing strategies like podcasting to reach a broader audience and help more families navigate difficult transitions with clarity and purpose.
