Hey, I’m Lori Youngdahl.
I help people get out of their own way. Without losing your mind and yourself.
I bet you’re wondering…
“Where did my bliss go? Is this it? Am I stuck here? Will I recover and have a “normal” life again? Why am I so ‘meh’ about my life when on paper my life actually looks pretty good? When will I stop feeling so OVERWHELMED? I thought success would feel better. Why do I feel GUILTY for thinking this way?
Yeah, I felt all. of. it.
For 21 years my entire focus was being a stay at home mom. Then in middle age I found myself standing at the entrance of the dreaded “divorce tunnel” – a dark tunnel with no windows, no doors, and it’s definitely not warm and comfy. There’s no way out except to travel to the other side of it. And it ain’t a pretty journey to the other side. Some people get lost inside.
It’s SO hard to see clearly inside the tunnel. It’s disorienting. Problems pile on top of each other. Doubt, regret, anxiety become unwanted pets. I found myself spinning in circles indecision, getting nowhere. I wasn’t this person. I was well educated. I “knew better”. I’d accomplished things. And yet, the constant dread for the future was exhausting. I tried all the usual things like therapy, journaling, reading books, blogs, listening to podcasts. They helped… some. But I found I was STILL getting what I nicknamed “emotional drive-by”. Out of no where I was struggling with things I thought I’d already “dealt with”. Nope. Still there. SO I found myself in a very reactive place. Not really even feeling like I was myself any more.
Then a little voice inside me asked:
“How do you want to show up / react in this difficult time?”
I knew immediately I wanted to look back on this time of my life and feel good about how I chose to show up. This one little thought sent me down a path to discover what else I could use to not only get through tough times but also build the life I REALLY wanted. Daring to dream again. I found simple + practical (like, not kidding simple) tools that I now teach. Because they work. For ANYONE. For any problem you face. REALLY. I’m a super practical person so this really made sense to me and it might for you too.
If I’d had these tools earlier on, I could have avoided SO much unnecessary emotional suffering. I could have created this life I love now so much sooner.
I learned a lot about getting through a life challenges in one piece, and I’m here to guide you as you navigate your own tunnel. Doesn’t matter where you are in the process… the tools work.
I’ve created a life I actually want for myself. It took a lot of growing my self-awareness (which is difficult for everyone) – but today, I’m steady and strong. You can get to this place much sooner than I did, without as much trial and error. Without as much needless suffering. While creating the life you truly want.
I know you’re here because something is off balance and you’re in search something to help you become more resilient, to find that harmony in your life again. I get it.
And I know it’s important for you to be in the driver’s seat of your life. I’ve got you. This is why I teach a self-coaching tool– you won’t need me forever.
My Steady & Strong Method is a tool you can use for the rest of your life.
“Lori quickly helped me uncover where my life was all tripped up. I wasn’t believing I had any control but she took off my blinders to this. I was really feeling like I was constantly putting out fires in my life… just surviving. Lori showed me how to look at everything in a way that I feel like I’m in the drivers seat. I use the tools in so many areas of my life (parenting, work, health habits) —SM
