“When people say they want to know the meaning of life, often what they’re truly seeking is a life of meaning.”

Let’s find yours.

My Story

James McDade
Certified Mindset Coach

"Life is good, but could it be more?” I’ve always appreciated what I have, yet felt there was more to life than just work, weekends, and distant dreams.

I understand the struggle to find fulfillment. The fear of making the “wrong” choice, stagnation, and the desire for growth that can feel overwhelming. But I’ve learned how to break free from these limiting beliefs and embrace a life of excitement and purpose.

My journey has led me through diverse experiences—exploring new cultures, reading thought-provoking books, and diving into personal exploration. Combining my journey outward with discovery inward, I sharpened my intuition and uncovered a purpose that feels profoundly aligned with who I am.

Since returning to California, I completed my training with Coach Training EDU, combining my passion for empowering others with the skills to inspire real, transformative change. Now, my mission is to guide others on their journeys of self-discovery.

This feeling of contentment can’t be beat, and I’d love to help you uncover your unique path to total fulfillment.

What Is “Mindset” Coaching?

Personal Growth Meets Intentional Living

Mindset coaching helps you take control of your life by overcoming mental blocks like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, self-doubt, and low motivation. Together, we’ll break limiting beliefs, reconnect with your authentic self, and gain clarity on what you truly want.

My coaching style focuses on who you are today and who you want to be tomorrow. Bridging the gap between dreams of ‘one day’ and the reality of today by helping you shift your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes to help you create a self-actualized version of yourself that you love.

Every client is unique, and with me, so is each session.

    Lauren

  • "Coaching with James has been life-changing. I always feel so heard and understood. I've never had someone truly listen to me the way he does. He provides such a calm and welcoming atmosphere where I feel safe and able to take things at my own pace, but he also pushes me and challenges me when I need it."
