Sarah Levis
Owner, Transition Coach
Hi — I’m Sarah.
I’m a secular life coach who works with people navigating change, uncertainty, and transitions that don’t come with clear instructions. My work is grounded, practical, and shaped by lived experience — not hype, quick fixes, or belief-based frameworks.
I support thoughtful people who are trying to make sense of what comes next, especially when life no longer fits the old story.
How I Came
to This Work
I didn’t arrive at coaching because I wanted to “optimize” my life or help others do the same. I arrived here through lived experience with transition — the kind that reshapes identity, capacity, and direction, and doesn’t resolve neatly.
Like many of the people I work with, I’ve spent time in that in-between space where the old answers stop working, but the new ones aren’t clear yet. I learned firsthand how disorienting that can be — and also what actually helps when thinking harder isn’t enough.
Those experiences shaped how I work: slowly enough to be honest, practically enough to be useful, and with respect for real-world constraints. I'm a disabled women who can't drive, who has lived in a rural area for over two decades - I know that some realities are difficult to change.
What Shapes
My Approach?
My coaching is informed by:
-
lived experience with major life transitions
-
deep listening and reflective inquiry
-
an understanding of grief beyond death
-
respect for disability, health changes, and fluctuating capacity
-
evidence-informed tools from psychology and behavioral science
I’m not interested in pushing people past their limits or reframing pain into “lessons.” I’m interested in helping people think clearly, make deliberate choices, and move forward in ways their lives can actually support.
You don’t need to be “ready” or know exactly what you want, to work with me. Many people come to coaching because clarity hasn’t arrived yet.
If You're Considering Reaching Out
You don’t need to commit to anything right now.
You’re welcome to:
-
read what happens in a coaching session, or
-
reach out with questions before deciding
There’s no pressure, no expectation, and no requirement to be certain.
If you take your time with decisions, you’re in good company here.
