Welcome! I'm Gracie Miller, Career and Life Purpose Coach for people who are READY to clarify and go after their dream life. I help multi-passionate people design and begin their perfect career faster and easier than doing it alone. I help you finally claim the life you were born to live.
I can help.
A little about me- In my early twenties I watched as my friends all chose careers that made them pretty happy... while I was shaking my fists at God asking, "Why can't I figure this out? Why can't I just do ONE thing?" I had done the "right" things, gone to college, got good grades, worked hard... but I didn't know what to do. I wondered if something was wrong with me, or if I was expecting too much from life to want to enjoy my work. Second guessing yourself all the time is exhausting, and I wasn't getting anywhere. I knew I was meant for more than the low paying jobs I was doing in an effort to find myself. I was worried I'd never find something that would make my family proud and I'd be living in the basement forever.
When I was in my mid-twenties I had the good fortune of having a life coach as part of my Americorps position. Those 10 sessions were so transformative for me, and I could see myself helping others in a similar way once I had more life experience. My coach helped me understand that not knowing what to do professionally could be a great way to get to know myself better. She didn't judge me when I had no clue who I was. She didn't say I had to use my degree exactly as it was written. In other words, she was there for me in a tough time and helped get me on track.
By my mid-thirties I had gathered quite a bit of experience managing non-profit programs, and I started to wonder who I was if I wasn't the manager who held everything together. Who am I if people don't need me 24/7? I realized my self-worth and identity had been wrapped up in a little box and couldn't breathe. Maybe I wasn't passionate about my work-- maybe my work was passionate about ME. I realized I didn't need to be fearless to make a change-- but I did need to be willing to take that leap.
I started putting together the fact that I love teaching, coaching, writing, mentoring, finding resources for people, being a supportive confidant, and being an independent entrepreneur. I realized I was too creative to fit into a box and needed to make my own career doing what I love, and I was going to have to create it. After several years of certifications, trainings, and travels I'm a successful Career and Life Purpose Coach, here to show you that ANYONE can put their passions, purpose, and dreams together to form a life they can be proud of.
- If you have a variety of skills, interests, and abilities and don't know how to blend them into a career...
- If you are spinning your wheels trying to figure out what is the meaning of life...
- If you're feeling frustrated, full of self-doubt and lacking direction…
I can help.

First we identify who you are NOW, what your passions, values, and blocks are, and then create concrete, detailed steps to live a life you will love. Knowledge is power- If you know what you want! And then of course, knowledge is only half the battle- you need practical and effective tools to make change. If you knew what you wanted AND had the tools you needed you'd be LIVING the life you love, right?

I understand the pain of knowing you need a change but not knowing how to do it, because I've been there. No single career felt like the right fit. Everything was too limiting. Plus I had a lot of different, seemingly unrelated passions. I was often told I could do anything I put my mind to. Well sure you CAN do anything you set your mind to, but why wouldn't you do something you LOVE, that MATTERS? And how do you narrow that down?
I get it! After working in everything from landscaping to landlording, non-profit management to Djing, I know how hard it can be to 'find yourself', let alone apply that to a career when you are multi-passionate. I'm here to support, guide, and provide clarity on your journey. I'm here to lay out a game plan while holding you accountable to your dreams (even if you've forgotten what you dream life looks like). I'm here to show you the life you never knew was possible. IT GETS BETTER.
I want you to experience what so many of my clients have experienced...
You can have all of this. But... You have to choose to go for it.
To prove I'm not just all about work...
A few fun facts:

IT GETS BETTER.
I want you to experience what so many of my clients have experienced...
- Identifying and finally BREAKING THROUGH the blocks that have held you back from becoming the BEST possible version of yourself
- Figuring out not just WHAT you want to be doing, but HOW to get there- no matter what field(s) you choose
- Having more time to do the things that you love (rather than trying to stuff them in at the end of a busy, stressful day) instead of worrying 'what should I be doing?'
- Real support and guidance from someone who won't judge you in this process because she's been there
- A permanent shift in the way you see yourself and your life's possibilities
- Laser-focused decision making and direction
You can have all of this. But... You have to choose to go for it.
To prove I'm not just all about work...
A few fun facts:
- I've been known to travel for up to 6 months at a time, from Thailand to Portugal, to India and Argentina (that's me in Jamaica riding a dolphin)
- I have a lazy and ridiculously adorable cat named Carmela
- The only way I'll do weights is if I'm lifting my body weight in a circus class (that's me in a silks class)
Why do I love helping creative people find their greater purpose? Because I know the pain of not knowing what to do, when you have so much to offer. It's not fair that the kids who grew up knowing for sure that they wanted to be a doctor never had to go through the identity crisis of not knowing 'what to do with their life'. My passion and purpose is to guide those who are READY to their dream life. Not just help people find a better job-- any career coach can do that. I don’t want to help you keep settling. I want to help you LOVE YOUR LIFE.
