Coaching
What’s making this so hard?
When you’re caring for your kids and your parent at the same time, everything feels hard at once. It’s tough to tell what’s actually wearing you down. I help you find the one or two things making this season harder than it has to be, and we choose the right tools to help, so you leave with a clear place to start instead of a longer to-do list.
Where to Begin
$750
Three sessions over about six weeks to figure out what’s making this so hard and where to begin.
​
First session (90 minutes): You tell me your story, and I’ll listen for what’s working, what isn’t, and where you need more support. We’ll find your pinch point, and I’ll teach you one or two tools to try.
​
Check-in (50 minutes, two weeks later): We look at how the tools are working in real life and adjust.
Final session (50 minutes, about a month later): We review what’s sticking and plan how to keep going.
​
We’ll schedule all three at the start, so a hard week doesn’t knock you off track.
A free 15-minute call to talk about what’s going on and whether coaching is the right fit.
Ongoing Support
3 months: $550
6 months: $1,000
Caring for your parent isn’t a one-time problem. A new diagnosis, a fall, a move, or a hard talk with siblings can change everything in a week.
Ongoing Support gives you a 50-minute call each month, so we can adjust your plan as things change.
​
Ongoing Support clients can also request a between-session call when something shifts quickly ($150 for 50 minutes, based on availability).
Available after Where to Begin, so we can pick up right where we left off.
Why Work With Me
I’ve been a social worker for more than 20 years, including seven years in pediatric oncology at Lurie Children’s Hospital, sitting with families on some of the hardest days of their lives. I’ve also lived this myself. I was raising a little one while helping my dad through his cancer, which is why I wrote Pulled in Two Directions.
You don’t need another reminder to take care of yourself. You need someone to help you see what’s really going on and what to do next.

Is coaching right for you?
Coaching is practical, focused support for a hard season. It isn’t therapy, and it doesn’t include diagnosis or treatment. If you’re looking for therapy, visit Joni Lamb Therapy. If we start coaching and I think therapy would serve you better, I’ll tell you and help you find the right fit.
Coaching isn’t crisis support. If you’re in crisis or worried about your safety, call or text 988 or contact your health provider.

The fine print
Sessions are held by video. Where to Begin sessions should be used within three months of purchase. Ongoing Support sessions should be used within four months for the 3-month option and eight months for the 6-month option. You can reschedule with 24 hours’ notice, and I’ll always work with you when a true emergency comes up.
