You love your student. Your student is struggling. How can you help them get back on track and help them develop better habits in school without anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelm? A life coach for college students can make all the difference. <\/p>
Hey Missy! is a life coaching program for college students to support them by creating a safe space to share concerns and create a focused plan to maximize success. <\/p>
Life can be scary, frustrating, overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing. College is one of the first major life transitions that young adults make. By setting your student up with a life coach, you can build a foundation of emotional stability and healthy coping skills, not only during school, but afterwards (and onwards).<\/p>
Young adults (they are still our kids), often have trouble talking to their parents about the deep issues in their lives. Let\u2019s face it – our grown kids have a history with us as parents, we\u2019re known everything about them for their entire lives. College is often the first time that our kids start living their own lives. <\/p>
What does a life coach do? Think: combo counseling and empowerment coaching. Hi. I\u2019m Missy Seigle, LPC, owner and founder of Hey Missy!, coaching for college students. I started my journey into life coaching for young adults after I built my counseling practice (Conundrum Counseling<\/a>) and realized that I needed to follow a passion of mine: growing a student support coaching practice to reach the young \u201cme\u201d and be the person I needed when I went to college. <\/p> You can read my story here<\/a>. You see, I went to college thinking that I had it down! I mean, I did well in school, had made friends, and had a social circle there, but when I moved and had to \u201cstart all over again\u201d – I found that the social aspect and overwhelm was, well, overwhelming!!!<\/p> Plus, everyone else seemed to have the college thing down. I felt out of place. And, it all made my question my self-worth and self-esteem. I struggled. I wanted to quit, but I couldn\u2019t face that – thinking it would be me essentially becoming a failure. My perfectionism made it so that I was burning candles at every end too, and instead of my work and life being more perfect, the anxiety and self-induced pressure was a ticking time bomb. <\/p> What does a life coach do? And, how can you find the best life coach for students? These are valid questions (and very common!). Firstly, a life coach for students checks in with them in a nonjudgmental way and provides a safe space to vent, dissect the issues they face, and create a plan for success. There are many influences at college and a life coach can help your student lean on a solid support during their transition into college and for the times when everything is simply \u201ctoo much.\u201d <\/p> And how can you find a virtual life coach for your college student? You can look online (hello!). Then, you can decide which program fits your student the best.\u00a0Finally, we recommend scheduling a free breakthrough session with Missy to learn more and discuss what’s going on.<\/a><\/p> Have more questions?
