I'm a Project & Creative Life Coach
Behold! I am standing next to cut plants that aren't dead yet! Truly, a marvelous feat I want everyone to take a moment to appreciate because that is an area of growth for me! 5 points to my "green-ish thumb" skill!
MY NAME IS LINDSAY RINGENBERG
and when I introduce myself, a lot of people ask me "what is a Project Coach?" Well, I'm here to help you actually FINISH all the amazing crap you manage to start but just can't seem to push across the finish line! From the concrete to the existential, "projects" run a wide spectrum:
-
Remember that dream pantry with the orderly jars and color coded labels you bought half the stuff for? But then when you excitedly dove in on a Monday night you got so overwhelmed you ended up sitting in the dark eating a sleeve of Oreos until the bad feelings went away... and all the supplies ended up in a... box... somewhere? Maybe the garage? And now the guilt about all the money you spent on those supplies haunts you the same way the resin box haunts you the same way the stitch-'n-bitch group chat you ghosted haunts you the same way...
I digress.

The project can also be more philosophical than that. Remember those life goals you set for yourself? The "life project" you imagined for yourself - where you thought you would end up before the age of 30, 40, 50, or beyond? Has life completely derailed or gone in a direction you don't recognize or particularly like? Those "projects" need to be addressed and can be particularly tricky to pin down because they are subterranean.
And I want to help because I know this struggle intimately and I also know it doesn't have to stand in your way. There is a way through the forest of competing ideas and demands.
BUT WAIT - WHO ARE YOU?
I am a Creative Entrepreneur, Author, Business Owner, and Life Coach with a Masters in Counseling Psychology.
In another season of my life, I worked for over a decade in the fields of education, social work, and mental health, and most recently I ran my own private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington State.
My bicultural/bilingual experience as a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) deeply informs my perspective and multicultural work with my clients. I am also fluent in American Sign Language. I jokingly refer to myself as a neurodiverse skittle that comes in every color of the rainbow - I can also be a neurotic squirrel sometimes, but in a charming, if the squirrel wore a bow-tie and had a colorful punk tied tail or something.
I have a lot of creative interests including karaoke, fine tequilas, baking, writing books, video and board games, and graphic design. I am direct, funny, I don't take things personally, and I do cuss quite a bit. I've lived a lot of different lives, from full-timing in a travel trailer to homesteading in Montana to living in the city! I love Atlanta and I live here with my partner, four hairless cats, and potato head dog.
