Live a life of authentic joy

Start making candid choices free from the overwhelm of overthinking and focus on what brings you joy.

Have you ever

Felt uncertain, like you were swimming upstream and couldn’t move forward.

Felt like your own worst critic and second-guessed yourself?

Felt exhausted from the mile-long to-do list, like a hamster on a hamster wheel?

Felt powerless in a relationship? 

If so, you have come to the right place and you are not alone.

It is possible to

Feel alive instead of living life on autopilot, with progress and purpose instead of procrastination, direction instead of distractions, clarity instead of confusion, and focus instead of frustration.

Have healthy expectations of yourself…and others

Prioritize activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

Have hope in your relationships instead of helplessness.

I believe you were created to enjoy spending more time being fully present than spending time stuck in your head

Hi I’m Kaley 

I have experienced the overwhelm of feeling like I was completely stuck in life, like a victim in my relationships, depleted from trying to do everything all the time, and like I was never good enough. I doubted my decisions because I was making them from a place of fear, which led me to overthink and live in my head most of the time. I learned joy the hard way during ministry school, figuring out how to be myself and focus on being present.

I started Joie de Vivre coaching not because I think it will be easy because investing in yourself takes time and intentionality, but because I wish I had a toolbox while I was on my joy journey. I completed my Masters in Psychology and certification in life coaching, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Studies, so that with my life experience and relationship with Jesus I can provide practical tools to help others get out of their head, get unstuck from the overthinking overwhelm, and begin living a life full of authentic joy.

I hope to help others go from overwhelmed to overjoyed.

Are you ready to go on your joy journey?

you’re Ready to become the most joyful version of Yourself, Here’s how you Start.

1. Schedule a call so I can answer any questions and you can decide if the joy journey is right for you.

2. Create a plan that is individualized to you and begin to address the areas of your life where you feel overwhelmed.

3. Leave each session with a toolbox that will empower you on your joy journey so that you can stop feeling overwhelmed.

With the help of the Lord I began to understand that meaningful things in life aren’t always comfortable. Authenticity is uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable to say no, ask for what you need in relationships, and not people-please. It is uncomfortable to rest in a world that puts hustle culture on a pedestal forever feeling like you’ll get behind in life if you don’t perform. It is uncomfortable to celebrate growth and redefine success on your terms instead of the unrealistic perfection of never failing. But it is so worth it once you begin to live the joy-filled life you’ve always dreamed of.

What people are saying

  • "Recently, I took a break from working, and life coaching with Kaley was a key experience during this time. Kaley saw me through a strengths based perspective that was so helpful in creating a personal toolbox for my life. I always think back to the time she said, "Amazing, that is viable," when talking about my dreams because such a simple sentence transformed the way I saw what was possible for my own self. Her expert direction and encouraging nature made it a safe place for me to open up about where I'm at and where I'd like to be in the future. I'm 10/10 confident in recommending Kaley to anyone who is considering life coaching because of the leaping, invaluable gains it will leave them."

  • "I had trouble with work and direction which was causing a lot of stress and discouragement. I decided to reach out to Kaley to help me understand the situation better. Our session was incredibly eye opening as she took me through my strengths and identified where my frustrations, lack of motivation and stress came from. After identifying my strengths and key drivers I have felt empowered and enabled to understand and take responsibility for my needs in order to get them met in a healthy way so that balance can be restored. Our session was incredibly fruitful, and I am so thankful for her knowledge, wisdom, empathy and skill."
