About Cookie Carlson
My Philosophy
At Empower 7, my coaching philosophy is centered around the belief that every individual has the inherent strength and potential to overcome obstacles and lead a fulfilling life. I approach each coaching relationship with compassion, understanding, and a commitment to creating a safe space for exploration and growth. Drawing from my diverse experiences—ranging from my service in the U.S. Army to my journey through education, human resources, and holistic wellness—I embrace a holistic model that integrates mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the power of self-awareness and mindfulness, recognizing that true transformation occurs when we connect with our inner selves and embrace our vulnerabilities. My commitment to trauma-informed practices ensures that each client's unique experiences and challenges are met with empathy and respect. I am dedicated to fostering resilience through reflective communication, tangible strategies, and a supportive community. I view coaching as a collaborative journey, where we work together to navigate personal challenges, set meaningful goals, and celebrate progress. Ultimately, my philosophy is rooted in empowerment—empowering individuals to discover their purpose, reclaim their voices, and embark on a transformative journey toward self-discovery and holistic well-being. Together, we can unlock the potential within and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
As a veteran who has triumphed over my own battle with PTSD, I bring a unique perspective to the coaching field. My experience allows me to connect with individuals on a profound level, fostering trust and understanding as we navigate their healing journeys together. I have not only survived the challenges of PTSD but have also thrived, transforming my struggles into a source of strength and resilience.
Having faced the complexities that accompany trauma, I understand the emotional landscape my clients traverse. This firsthand experience empowers me to offer compassionate support and practical strategies that authentically resonate. I don’t just teach from theory; I share insights that come from my lived experience, demonstrating that recovery is not only possible but also achievable.
In my coaching practice, I create a safe and nurturing environment where clients feel understood and validated. By leveraging the lessons I've learned along my path, I guide others toward their own empowerment, helping them reclaim their lives after trauma. My commitment to fostering resilience and growth stems from a genuine desire to inspire hope and healing in those I serve.
Together, we can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and recovery, proving that the challenges we face can lead to a stronger, more fulfilling life.
