A Couple Questions

How many times have you tried

to complete your ever-growing to-do list

only to end up feeling exhausted,

defeated, or guilty…

or maybe even all three?!

Pssst!

A list is not

a plan;

it is merely a

tool used to build a ​plan.

Wouldn’t you rather have a PLAN…

a realistic plan that you can truly follow?


  • A plan that is possible for YOU because it takes into ​account all the pieces of YOUR unique life.


  • A plan for what to do when you don’t feel like it, or ​when you’d rather put it off, or when things legit ​come up.


  • A plan that includes your have-tos, want-tos, ​and your dream-ofs.


Destination: Done

Hello!

I’m Michelle - Life Planning Coach.

I’ll be your travel buddy as you journey from

Overwhelming, Never Done To-do Lists

to your Destination: Done!


I’ll teach you the 4 basic steps of trading impossible to-do lists

for possible plans.


Together, we will detour around the most common roadblocks ​(and perhaps some uncommon ones),

until we arrive at Done!


My job is to ensure both the vehicle (plan)

and the driver (you)

are running at top performance!

My Bright Idea

Lightbulb Icon

With a natural talent for organizing and planning,

I had always been able to keep my busy life as a SAHM of five running smoothly.

Until I couldn’t!


After a very dark, difficult few years, culminating in emotional collapse,

I knew I had to get myself together! But every time I made a list of what needed to be done,

I was paralyzed with anxiety, self-doubt, and indecision.


Listen, I know how it feels to go to bed every night disappointed in yourself

and overwhelmed for the day ahead. I know how it feels to be keeping it

together on the outside (or not)

and be kicking yourself on the inside because

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, YOU’RE JUST NOT DOING IT.

During one middle-of-the-night-freak-out, I had an epiphany of sorts:

What if I PLANNED my next day instead of just making a to-do list?

So I did...and the next day I got everything done I had planned!

WHAT IF?...

Then that next night, I had another bright idea:

What if I planned my NEXT 90 DAYS?

And so I sat up most of the night and did just that.


90 days later, I had a business generating enough cash flow

to keep me and my two teenagers afloat,

we had our own place, I was divorced, I had a therapist and a coach,

and I adopted a dog (sometimes you get MORE than you plan for)!


I realized very quickly that there was a HUGE difference

between a To-do List and a PLAN!



Now I combine my planning expertise with my training as a life coach

to help my clients leave behind overwhelming, undone to-do lists.


And whatever the goal…the project, event, or schedule…

we consistently arrive at our Destination: Done!

You Ready to Go?

Great!

I’m ready to travel with you, past roadblocks like

procrastination, fear of failure,

and just plain ol’ having too much on your plate!


Destination: Done! is a system of planning that

takes you toward

confidence, action, and accomplishment.


Listen, ending every day frustrated, disappointed,

and feeling guily is NO FUN.


How about we have some FUN

and get it DONE?!

Pau​l L.

“Michelle has the tools and know-how to get ​an individual to step out of their safe zone ​and start getting real with themselves and ​life's goals.”

Li​se M.

“I have gotten more from working with​ Michelle these last few months than I have​ from years of reading self help books and​ undergoing counseling/ therapy. She has a​ way of coming in and showing you the​ bigger picture, telling you not always what​ you want to hear, but what you need to hear.​ Whatever excuses I made for myself were​ quickly done away with and replaced with​ accountability and empowerment. I​ recommend Michelle to anyone who is​ willing to put in the work for a life they’d be​ proud of living. Thanks Michelle!”​

Ke​lly S.

“Michelle is a real cheerleader - she has just ​the right words to say at all the right ​moments - whether it is for business ​consulting, relationships, or personal ​moments, she honestly knows how to "put ​on her coaching hat" and tell it like it is in a ​kind and calm manner like no one else I have ​ever met (and I have been to plenty of ​therapists!) She knows how to set you on the ​right path and guide you along - well worth ​the time, effort and money.”

“I often have a difficult time receiving any ​guidance, especially when I feel shame. ​[Michelle] broke these barriers with ​consistency and patience...She is a ​dedicated coach, and I have so much ​gratitude for all of the truth & tools I carry ​with me since our time together.”
