From anxious autopilot to authenticity

Coaching so you can Stop overthinKING and start making authentic choices in your connections and calling.

Have you ever felt stuck on autopilot?

Powerless in relationships, pleasing others by saying yes to things you didn’t want to do, all for acceptance.

Second-guessing yourself, procrastinating because you’re terrified of making a mistake.

Exhausted from the mile-long to-do list and everything you have to do to perform for your worth or value, like a hamster on a hamster wheel.

If so, you have come to the right place and you are not alone.

Hi I’m Kaley 

I see you and I’ve been you.

I have experienced the overwhelm of feeling like I was completely stuck in life, like a victim in my relationships, depleted and burned out from trying to do everything all the time, and like I was never good enough. I doubted my decisions because I was making them from a place of fear, which led me to overthink and live in my head most of the time. I learned joy the hard way during ministry school, figuring out how to be myself and focus on being present instead of living on autopilot.

I started Joie de Vivre coaching not because I think it will be easy because investing in yourself takes time and intentionality, but because I wish I had a toolbox while I was on my joy journey. I completed my Masters in Psychology, Ph.D. in psychological and counseling studies, and certification in life coaching, so that with my life experience and relationship with Jesus I can provide practical tools to help others get out of their head, get unstuck from the overthinking overwhelm, and go from anxious autopilot to authentic joy.

Are you ready to go on your joy journey?

It is possible to

Feel hopeful in your relationships instead of helplessness…making decisions will look like growing in being present with self-discovery by becoming aware of your emotions, needs, values, and understanding your motivations, fears, and strengths to express them in your connections and in your career.

Have healthy expectations of yourself…and others. This means broadening your definition of what it means to be successful in relationships and meeting your goals. Making decisions with self-compassion, knowing that every “failure” is a learning experience that will help you grow in adaptability and self-development instead of staying stuck in them. It also means being intentional about celebrating accomplishments, even the small ones.

Accomplish everything you need to in a restful state without being busy for busyness sake. This looks like making decisions based on what is important to you and what you are good at, even if it means delayed gratification. Growing in self-discipline looks like choosing to focus on a goal that won’t provide instant gratification instead of completing mundane tasks that aren’t fulfilling, just to say that you checked something off your to-do list.

Feel alive instead of living life inauthentically, stop living on autopilot, and begin making decisions that spark joy, with purpose instead of procrastination, direction instead of distractions, clarity instead of confusion, and focus instead of frustration…

I believe you were created to enjoy spending more time being fully present than spending time stuck in your head

With the help of the Lord I began to understand that meaningful things in life aren’t always comfortable. Authenticity is uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable to say no, ask for what you need in relationships, and not people-please. It is uncomfortable to rest in a world that puts hustle culture on a pedestal forever feeling like you’ll get behind in life if you don’t perform. It is uncomfortable to celebrate growth and redefine achievements on your terms instead of the unrealistic perfection of never failing. But it is so worth it once you begin to live the joy-filled life you’ve always dreamed of.

What people are saying

  • "Recently, I took a break from working, and life coaching with Kaley was a key experience during this time. Kaley saw me through a strengths based perspective that was so helpful in creating a personal toolbox for my life. I always think back to the time she said, "Amazing, that is viable," when talking about my dreams because such a simple sentence transformed the way I saw what was possible for my own self. Her expert direction and encouraging nature made it a safe place for me to open up about where I'm at and where I'd like to be in the future. I'm 10/10 confident in recommending Kaley to anyone who is considering life coaching because of the leaping, invaluable gains it will leave them."

Our session was incredibly eye opening as she took me through my strengths and identified where my frustrations, lack of motivation and stress came from. After identifying my strengths and key drivers I have felt empowered and enabled to understand and take responsibility for my needs in order to get them met in a healthy way so that balance can be restored. Our session was incredibly fruitful, and I am so thankful for her knowledge, wisdom, empathy and skill."
