This is released on Thursday, September 5th. A mere 24 hours ago, I realized I had cruised right on by the 4th anniversary of HK Coaching. I have been so consumed by and focused on what I’m currently creating. But the realization hit me like a ton of bricks, so naturally, I took a little time to reflect on where I was four years ago.

When I started HK Coaching, I was scared and exhilarated. Despite having a business degree and well over a year of experience in the corporate world, I had no idea what I was doing. But I had a wildly powerful knowing that starting a coaching business was what I meant to be doing.

People always say this about entrepreneurship: it can be lonely, sometimes incredibly cringy, and deeply satisfying. It turns out all of those things are true. I tried to find my stride during my first three years of business. I started with business coaching because business is what I was known for. I knew I wanted to get deeper with people but didn’t know how. I incorporated two tools I have found fun and empowering: astrology and human design. Then, in October 2023, I did something I never thought I would do: apply for my Master’s in Counselling Psychology. 

Quick detour. As a teenager, I knew I wanted to be a marriage and family therapist, and I had it all planned out. The school, the courses, the practicum, the private practice, the whole shebang! I had a miserable conversation with a Psychologist who scared and discouraged me away from that dream, which left me feeling disenfranchised, confused, and directionless. I lost some of my fire at that point, and I don’t think I fully recovered it (until recently). Beginning my Master’s has been a wild roller coaster of a ride so far, and I wouldn’t change a thing. It has been interesting to recognize how important it was for me to do this for 16-year-old Heather. 

Reflecting on the last four years in business, I couldn’t help but feel proud and rather impressed with myself. It has not been easy. But it is more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. It has felt like a long road to get to where I am, but it also feels like time has flown by. I am truly blessed and so grateful to spend my days helping others think better, feel better, and live better. It’s the best thing in the world. 

So, where am I at right now? Around May or June this year, everything clicked for me. I realized exactly what I wanted to create within my business, my purpose and mission, and how I will deliver on those. I have spent the last several years gathering training and certification, and now, I have degrees relating to personal development and mental well-being. I have an abundance of knowledge, skills, and tools. And it drives me crazy that not only are these things not taught in school, but they’ve only recently started to become less stigmatized. Mental health resources are often not easy to access and can be expensive. You’ll hear me say this a lot now, so please join me and shout: Your Mental Health Is Not A Luxury. And we need to stop treating it like it is. 

Every single job I had existed in an unhealthy environment. I normalized burnout. It’s awful and a systemic issue that desperately needs to change. 

HK Coaching is now offering affordable, accessible, and enjoyable coaching sessions. Our private coaching is delivered in an “a la carte” style without requiring you to purchase pre-bundled packages. We work together to clarify your goals and the level of support you need and create a solution completely tailored to you and your budget. Having a coach on your side will change the game for you, even at the basic level of knowing you have a safe, unbiased advocate here to listen. 

Everyone needs a coach and/or counsellor on their support team roster, and I’m happy to do my best to make that achievable for more people. 

HK Coaching is now offering group programs! In September, I will be hosting “Dare To Be Loved” as both the in-person and virtual versions. This program is centred on falling in love with yourself and mastering the universal laws of attraction. We will cover healing, self-love, self-acceptance, boundaries, writing rules, confidence, intuition, and building relationships. As an option, I recommend having a copy of Katherine Woodward Thomas’s “Calling In The One” as a supplementary resource, but it’s not required. 

Self-Paced Coaching Mini-Bundles are coming! Stay tuned for details on those, but I have about 12 of the most popular topics lined up. These will include a pre-recorded workshop and the coaching tools you need to work through it. This is perfect for someone who prefers to go at their own pace or not too sure about booking a session yet. 

Her Mental Wealth Group Program is coming soon! This group program is a game changer and is about a topic I am obsessed with. Mental wealth is the combination of your mental capital and your overall well-being. By breaking cycles and patterns and learning to alleviate limiting beliefs, doubts, and negative emotions, you can increase your mental capital and well-being and generate mental wealth. Her Mental Wealth will support you by increasing your mental wealth so you can create the life you know you’re meant for and the generational wealth that matters most.

We have also revamped our business coaching and consulting services in the spirit of mental wealth. We now accept entrepreneurs, teams, and organizations to help create a more robust corporate culture supporting mental wealth and well-being. 

This season has a whole new elevated vibe. I am so excited to be here with you. Everything is better when we do it together.
