My Journey to Healing

Who I Am

 

​Hi, I'm Renata 👋

I'm a clarity coach for Christians who just need someone to talk to.

Maybe you're stuck at a crossroads and can't see which way to go. Maybe you're carrying something heavy that you can't tell anyone else. Maybe you have a problem that feels monster-sized and overwhelming. Or maybe you just need space to think out loud with someone who will actually listen.

 

That's what I do. I listen. I help you see clearly. I create safe space.

My Professional Background​

Before I became a coach, I spent over 15 years in Talent Acquisition, currently serving as a Senior Director of Talent Acquisition. I've interviewed thousands of people, heard countless stories, and sat across the table from individuals from every walk of life imaginable.

 

Here's what 15+ years of really listening to people taught me:

People don't always need solutions. They need to be heard. They need someone who asks the right questions. They need space to think out loud. They need someone who can see their situation clearly when they're too close to see it themselves.

 

I learned how to:

  • Listen beyond what people are saying to hear what they're really asking

  • Ask questions that help people clarify their own thinking

  • Identify patterns and provide perspective

  • Create safe space for difficult conversations

  • Help people see their own strengths when they can't see them themselves

 

Those same skills that made me effective in recruiting? They're exactly what make coaching powerful.

The difference is: In recruiting, I was helping people find their next job. In coaching, I'm helping people find their next step—whatever that might be.

My Personal Story

 

But my journey to coaching isn't just professional. It's deeply personal.

When I was almost 13 years old, I was molested by a close family friend. I held that pain silently for decades - not because I didn't want help, but because the shame felt too heavy to speak out loud.

When I finally found a safe person to share it with, everything changed. Not overnight. Not magically. But gradually, I could finally think clearly. I could see options I couldn't see before. I could move forward instead of staying frozen.

That experience taught me something powerful: Sometimes you don't need advice. You just need someone who will listen without judgment while you figure it out.

Combining my professional experience of listening to thousands of people with my personal experience of needing a safe space myself-  that's what shaped my approach to coaching.

 

What I Believe

  • I believe the answers you're looking for are already inside you. You're just too close to see them clearly right now.

  • I believe that talking things through with someone who really listens changes everything.

  • I believe you don't need someone to fix you—you need someone to create space for you to discover your own path forward.

  • I believe that faith provides the foundation, but YOU get to make the decisions about your life.

  • I believe monster-sized problems become manageable when you break them down into bite-sized pieces.

 

 

And I believe that you're stronger, wiser, and more capable than you're giving yourself credit for right now.

 

How I Help

I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to help you figure out what YOU want to do.

 

After 15+ years of having meaningful conversations with thousands of people, I know how to:

  • Ask the questions that help you see what you couldn't see before

  • Listen for what you're really asking, not just what you're saying

  • Provide perspective from outside your situation

  • Help you identify patterns you're too close to notice

  • Break down complex problems into clear, manageable steps

 

I create judgment-free space where you can:

  • Talk through what's really on your mind

  • Think out loud without interruption

  • Process difficult decisions

  • Share what you've been carrying alone

  • Gain perspective on overwhelming situations

  • Discover your own answers (they're already in there)

 

I'm your thinking partner. Your sounding board. Your safe person. Your clarity guide.

 

Why I Do This

 

Because I've sat across from thousands of people in my career, and I've learned that everyone - at some point - needs someone who will just listen.

Everyone has moments where they can't see clearly. Where they need perspective. Where they need to talk things through with someone safe.

And I remember what it felt like to not have that person. I remember the isolation. The confusion. The stuck-ness.

 

Now I get to be that person for others. And honestly? It's the greatest honor of my life.

 

Outside of Coaching

 

I'm based in Buffalo, NY, where I balance my work as a Sr. Director of Talent Acquisition with my passion for clarity coaching. I love good coffee (no sugar needed), deep conversations, and helping people see possibilities they couldn't see before.

I'm a woman of faith who believes God uses our hardest experiences to prepare us for our most meaningful work. And I'm someone who genuinely believes that clarity changes everything.

 

Let's Talk

If you're reading this and thinking, "I just need someone to talk to" - that's what I'm here for.

No judgment. No agenda. Just safe space to think out loud, gain clarity, and figure out your next step.

You don't have to have it all figured out. You just need someone to help you see clearly.
