About
I'm Life Coach MaryAddison Yates
And I’m all about building more positive, empowered communities one woman at a time
Are You Going Through the Motions?
I did what I thought every “good girl” does. I got married, had boy-girl twins, and accepted the roles of employee, wife, and mother.
And maybe you can relate…but I wasn’t feeling connected with myself, my husband, or my kids.
I drowned out my burning desire for more with alcohol, TV, the kid’s activities, and housework. I was just going through the motions: wake up, go to work, collect paycheck, pay bills, drink myself to sleep—on repeat.
Until I couldn’t take it anymore.
So I started therapy, got sober, and really began my journey to empowerment. I worked my ass off in recovery from alcohol, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.
I started to discover who I truly was and became transformed from the inside out.
Along my journey, I developed a conscious connection with my Higher Power and learned how to feel my feelings, be kind to myself, recognize my boundaries, give myself compassion, not take myself so damn seriously, and how to truly love and care for myself.
One near-death experience, a pandemic, and quitting my dental assistant career later…
I was scared shitless.
What was I going to do with my life? Did I have a deeper purpose?
After struggling through my doubts, I hired my own life coach and finally discovered what feels like my calling: helping women on their journeys to empowerment.
If you ever feel numb, scared shitless, or wonder “what the hell am I doing with my life?!” like I did, I got you, mama.
You Deserve a Life That's Fulfilling and Joyful
But as much as I’d like to tell you it’s rainbows and sunshine, the journey to empowerment truly requires you to work your ass off.
You’ll have to leave your comfort zone, face your fears, and battle your demons, but all you need to start is to be willing to try—you’ll never be ready.
That’s why I became an ICF-certified life coach through the internationally ICF-accredited life coach training program at Inner Glow Circle and started my coaching business, Journey2Empowerment—because I don’t want you to have to take that journey alone.
