Courtney Daniels, Life Coach

"At some point in life, the questions get louder: Is this all there is? What now? What if I finally did the thing I keep thinking about?

I help people answer those questions with clarity, courage, and action. Whether you want to launch a passion project, reset your daily habits, or rediscover your voice, my coaching is part encouragement, part strategy, and entirely focused on helping you create the next chapter you most want to live.

For three decades, I’ve brought ideas to life—writing and directing three feature films, publishing two books, and developing the habits that sustain a creative, fulfilling life. I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and help you turn insight into action.

You’ve done the hard part. Now let’s do the thing you actually want.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with people who are ready for their next chapter — whether that means starting the project they’ve always dreamed about, reimagining their career, or simply feeling more alive in their day-to-day life. My clients often tell me they’ve spent years taking care of everyone and everything else — now they want to create something for themselves. Together, we clear the noise, tap into what really matters, and turn those long-held ideas into a life they love.

  • Courtney will want to get a good sense of where you're at now before the two of you start to home in on what you'd like to do next. She'll ask good questions, listen closely, and start to assemble a mental picture of your past, present, and desired future. 

  • Coaching with me is about taking that dream or whisper in the back of your mind and making it real. Whether you want to launch a passion project, shift your daily habits, or simply feel more alive and creative, we work together to get you unstuck and moving toward what you really want.

  • If you’ve been hearing that quiet “what now?” in the middle of the night, coaching might be exactly what you need. Our free 15-minute discovery call is a no-pressure space to talk through what’s on your mind and see if we’re a good match.


  • Therapy often looks back to heal old wounds, while coaching looks forward — focusing on your goals, your energy, and the concrete steps you can take today. I’m here to be part strategist, part cheerleader, helping you build what you want next.

  • Sessions start at $175 for 50 minutes. I also offer starter packages and half-day intensives if you want to make faster progress or go deeper into a project or transition.

  • Book a free discovery call. We’ll talk about what’s calling to you right now, and I’ll share how I can support you. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll get your first session on the calendar.
