"This has been a fascinating journey. I am surprised by how much I look forward to each new day's assignment, and at how the prospect of others reading what I write motivates me and encourages me to continue." - Terri, Professor


As an Urban Nomad I live and work without a permanent home. As a professional actress, I move all over the country to perform in various musicals. As a certified life coach with Master's degrees in Lutheran theology and organizational psychology, I see life lessons in all of my adventures. My sense of stability comes from strong connections to people and deep commitments to goals. My personal mission is to ignite the experience of discovery in myself and those around me. I believe in the highest quality while working within your resources. I believe in being prepared for unexpected opportunities. I believe in perseverance on the road to overnight success.


Interactive e-courses:
An affordable, convenient way to invest in
high-impact life coaching


"These eCourses have been without a doubt a great use of my time and money.  I have looked forward to reading and writing each day, and receiving feedback from you and the others in the eCourse.  I have been challenged and have grown in my own understanding of who I am.  I have learned how to create healthy habits that motivate me to set larger life goals.  And I am growing, step by step, in how to use my time so as to accomplish life goals that match my values. Thank you Dawn." - Pastor Steve

"Systematize" is best for: Someone who wants to "go wide" (looking at 10 areas of life) instead of "go deep" (looking at one subject from many angles for 4 weeks) or someone who prefers a marathon (4 month course) to a sprint (4 week course). Over the course of 4 months, you'll Define, Align and Refine 10 Facets of Your Life.
