A LIFE OF MORE - REQUIRES LESS . . .
To experience what you truly want, something has to be released.
It’s rarely about adding more. It’s about removing what’s in the way.
Much of life is spent reacting to what we don’t want—and that reaction quietly shapes our choices. Learning to recognize distractions, patterns, and unconscious responses is a skill. A self-coaching skill.
When you understand what pulls you off-center, your life begins to reorganize itself. You move toward greater clarity, purpose, and steadiness. Relationships deepen. Well-being improves.
You deserve this kind of life.
DOING YOUR WORK
This life asks us to grow if we want to have and be what we most desire. We often call this “doing your work”—and yes, it is work.
But it’s meaningful work. Work that brings you back to yourself.
There’s no judgment here. Your best life is defined by you. It’s no one else’s business.
I simply know this: you want more.
- More freedom.
- More connection.
- More fulfillment in your work.
- More health and well-being.
- More financial ease.
- More meaning.
When you’re ready to do your work, we’re here to support you.
Life is difficult — and it doesn’t have to be this hard.
If you’ve lived enough life, you’ve skinned your knees and taken a few hard hits along the way. Challenges are part of the human experience. Navigating them can be exhausting.
And if you have dreams and goals (of course you do), you already know how often obstacles appear—sometimes endlessly. Stress, doubt, confusion, overwhelm, and the quiet feeling of being alone can creep in, especially when you’re not sure how to change things.
Highly successful people share a few key characteristics that set them apart. One of the most important is this: they understand that life and business are fields of obstacles.
The real work isn’t avoiding challenges—it’s learning how to navigate and respond to them.
The most effective people aren’t surprised by obstacles. They don’t panic or spiral when something goes sideways. Instead, they anticipate challenges and stay present when they arise. Why? Because obstacles aren’t interruptions. They’re part of the journey.
In this way, highly successful people become athletes in the game of life.
Shifting into this awareness—and developing the skills to meet obstacles with clarity and confidence—changed everything for me. I practice these skills daily, and I watch them change my clients’ lives as well.
The obstacles don’t disappear. But your relationship to them does.
When you know how to meet challenges with steadiness, strategy, courage, and self-trust, everything changes.
Did you know there are skills you can learn to navigate obstacles more effectively?
- Skills that help you enjoy your work and life more.
Skills that improve focus and decision-making. - Skills that help you move through relationships with greater ease and honesty.
- Skills that help you feel better—internally and relationally.
The ability to navigate life isn’t something you’re born with or without. It’s something you can learn.
There is a defined path for developing self-observation, self-regulation, and self-coaching—so you know when to step in, how to respond, and what actually supports change.
The Self Coach HABIT™ is a grounded way of learning these skills and integrating them into real life. It doesn’t require perfection—only willingness and honesty.
BECAUSE LIFE IS
DIFFICULT
ARE YOU READY TO WORK WITH US?
There are two primary ways to work together:
EXPANDED — 1:1 Private Coaching
High-touch, personalized coaching with Marianne, designed around your current season and challenges.
LEADERS — Coaching for Executives & Teams
Customized coaching for leaders, business owners, and teams who understand that leadership is an inside job.
Both paths are grounded in The Self Coach HABIT™—developing the internal skills required to lead yourself, your relationships, and your work with clarity.
EXPANDED - 1:1 Private Coaching
You’re my kind of people.
You go straight to the source. You want momentum—but you also know when something isn’t working.
You may see the obstacle clearly and still feel unsure how to move through it. That’s where this work shines.
I’ve got you.
LEADERS Coaching
Leadership is our human responsibility.
“Soft skills” aren’t soft at all. The ability to regulate yourself, communicate clearly, and stay grounded under pressure determines everything.
Your organization’s future depends on leaders who can lead themselves first.
The LIE
Somewhere along the way, we were told life was supposed to be easier than this.
When it isn’t, we assume something is wrong with us.
Burnout. Divorce. Illness. Parenting challenges. Financial stress. Loss. Body struggles. Comparison. Shame.
We’re capable, driven, and willing—yet peace and fulfillment feel just out of reach. We hope things will magically work out, but we don’t have a clear way forward.
I’ve been here too.
And what I discovered is this: we’ve been believing a lie.
THE TRUTH
Life is a series of obstacles.
They’re meant to shape us.
Each challenge stretches us, teaches us, and builds resilience. Over time, we become stronger, wiser, and more capable—not by avoiding life, but by learning how to meet it.
Imagine moving through challenges knowing you have the tools to stay present, grounded, and clear—even when things are hard.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!
No matter what life has handed you, this is your moment to choose differently.
The obstacles will keep coming. That’s part of being human.
But you don’t have to meet them alone—or unprepared.
Your people need you grounded.
Your work needs you awake.
Your life is waiting for you.
Hello my friend!
I’m Marianne MacKenzie Peterson —Master Coach, teacher, and founder of The Self Coach HABIT™.
I’m practical, grounded, and deeply committed to helping people navigate the real moments of life—not just talk about change.
This work was shaped through my own challenges—moments that broke me open, dismantled my identity, and forced me to listen more deeply to myself.
Along the way, I learned how to align mind, body, and truth. How to trust internal wisdom. How to stay present when everything felt uncertain.
I didn’t find this work in one place. I gathered it, lived it, and integrated it—so you don’t have to do it alone.
You have a calling too.
And I’m honored you’re here.❣️
