VANNESSA MISSO-VENESS, founder of Cascade Train Teach Learn, reflects on her approach to life coaching. “Every stage of life brings its own set of challenges and triumphs, especially for women empowerment – from single to empty nester,” says Vanessa. The Hong Kong-based transformational life coach has the privilege of guiding women through their unique journeys, offering support tailored to their specific needs.
# Empowering single women
Amidst societal pressures and the pursuit of personal fulfilment, women may find themselves questioning their paths. My coaching helps to articulate their values, passions and aspirations, while setting intentions for the future. Benefits include enhanced self-confidence, clarity in dating or career choices, and the ability to manifest a life they truly desire.
# Supporting mothers on their journey
Every phase of a mother’s parenting journey is about getting to know herself – discovering her values, expectations and fears. By encouraging self-compassion, I help mothers set realistic expectations, prioritise their wellbeing, and be part of a supportive community. The result is a more harmonious family dynamic and empowered mothers who feel confident in their parenting choices.
# Navigating the empty nest stage
This transitional period can evoke a sense of loss, identity crisis or newfound freedom. My role as life coach here aims to help women navigate this stage with grace and purpose, exploring new pursuits, reigniting old passions and redefining goals, allowing them to embrace this change with excitement rather than fear.
Every woman has a story, and within those stories lie the seeds of love, hope and a vision of a better self. I help clients harness their innate strengths, creating a safe space where clients can explore their desires, uncover limiting beliefs and set actionable goals.
Regardless of your life stage, I invite you to explore the transformative potential that a life coach can offer.
