Have you spent a lifetime hustling and striving to be all the world told you to be, but now you’re ready to explore the true callings of your heart?

Hi! I’m Tracy.

As a life coach, I’ve made it my mission to help accomplished women, like you, discover their true passion, fully step into their power, and share their light with the world.

Hi! I’m Tracy.

As a life coach, I’ve made it my mission to help accomplished women, like you, discover their true passion, fully step into their power, and share their light with the world.

Is this you?

You have a history of being adventurous and making bold moves, yet lately you feel stuck and stagnant. You’re restless and tired of the grind, but you’re not quite sure what will help you feel more alive and energized.

You know you need to make a change, but your head is spinning with overwhelming thoughts like: I don’t even know where to start.

Sister, you can start here!

I understand the all-too-common trap so many women fall into of setting seemingly admirable goals based on what they think they are supposed to do to feel happy and complete, only to find themselves feeling underwhelmed, burned out, and drained once they’ve achieved them.

I know it’s not easy, but you don’t have to go it alone. I’ve been there before, and I want the journey to be easier and much more enjoyable for you!
 
If you’re ready to explore what lights you up, I can help! I am an experienced life coach, and I’ve poured everything I know into my programs to help you gain clarity & establish new goals that will give you a rush of excitement and a fulfilling sense of purpose.

My programs offer all the components necessary to help you succeed:

  • leadership
  • accountability
  • support
  • mindset tools
  • inspiration
  • and more.

The first step to working together is to schedule a complimentary consultation. There’s no cost or obligation—so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I’ve made the process easy-breezy for you!

Life Coach for Women

I’m Life Coach Tracy Baranauskas, and I help courageous women, like you, realize their power, activate their true potential, and shine! As a former social worker who worked in the community mental health field for much of my career, I have always found joy in helping my clients discover and embrace their unique gifts and talents. However, in 2014, my self-concept took a hard hit that left me reeling. I felt stuck, scared, and devastated. Moving Forward Life Coaching was born from my determined resolve to come back wiser and stronger—and support other women in their journey to confidently share their light with the world!

Are you still wondering if coaching is right for you?  Here are some answers to common questions about life coaching…

Life coach for women

Why do women need life coaches?

While everyone can benefit from hiring life coaches, we often find ourselves living up to other people’s expectations. Erin Falconer wrote a whole book on the subject:

“… In life, we’re judged according to what we’ve done. And women are consistently assessed more harshly. A New York University study showed that women have to do much more than men to be perceived as equally productive in the workplace. So we keep chugging along. . . . But herein lies the conundrum, if we continue to pursue productivity for productivity’s sake, women will continue to position ourselves diametrically opposed to satisfaction. You may feel like the most productive person alive, but without a purpose, you’re just busy.”

― Erin Falconer, How to Get Sh*t Done: Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything So They Can Achieve Anything

So often, my clients are successful women living inauthentic lives based on standards set by other people, society, their familial expectations, etc. They’ve raised families ahead of their own goals and continue to put their dreams on the back burner until everyone else has their time in the sun. One of the biggest mistakes we can make as a society is to let our fellow sisters shrink while holding up others – everyone has their gifts to share, and it’s my passion to help other women share their light with the world.

Is hiring a life coach worth it?

I believe in the benefits of life coaching so much that I continue working with my own coach today! But, just don’t take it from me. I encourage you to check out the client feedback on my “real results” page to learn about what my clients say about coaching with me.

One of my clients, Ann, said that coaching was the best investment she ever made in herself, and I know you will feel the same way, too!

Whether you’re looking to make a career change, start a new business, create more life balance, or something else to live a more purposeful life, life coaching offers support and empowerment to transform your life and step into the new you!

What does a life coach do?

what a life coach for women does

I am life coach for women who want to find their purpose and re-ignite their passion, whatever that means for you!

When you work with me, we start by identifying what you want out of life. Figuring out what you actually want can take some work because often our inner voice is buried under many years of other people’s expectations and opinions.

Once we hone in on your true passions, we will set up goals to ensure you focus on the things that light you up. We’ll work on growth opportunities and self-discovery. Everything I do is customized to fit your personality and vision! I also keep your goals safe from external feedback and hold you accountable to stick to the plan we create.

I’ve had clients say thanks to the processes we put in place, they were then able to achieve their five-year goals in three. 

What does life coaching consist of?

When working together, we first do an initial consultation to talk, ask questions and give you a feel for my coaching style. If we decide we’re good fits for each other, we get to work right away with a two-hour Discovery Session.

During the Discovery Session, we create a precise vision for your experience. We clarify what you want for your life and map out our work together.  We also identify your values, explore your strengths and abilities, and consider the limiting beliefs and obstacles that are in your way.

After the Discovery Session, then it’s full speed ahead! We continue our work via weekly private coaching sessions to ensure we’re staying on top of your goals and checking in on progress. All sessions are remote using the Zoom app, so our time is flexible and convenient!

How is a life coach different from a therapist?

life coach different from a therapist

Generally speaking, a therapist’s role is to help you heal from the past, while a life coach’s focus is more about guiding you to create “future you.” That being said, our work together will include helping you to understand how your past has contributed to your present situation, and re-framing limiting beliefs that are no longer working for you.

While life coaching is supportive, it is not therapy or any other type of mental health care. It is distinct from therapy or counseling because it is not designed to address psychological issues.

Coaching is not intended to be a replacement for counseling, psychiatric interventions, or treatment for mental illness or substance abuse.

How do I choose the right life coach?

I offer a free, no-obligation consultation before we begin to get to know each other and see if we would be a good fit. This consultation gives you a chance to ask questions and know what I’m about and if my coaching style might be right for you. Taking the first steps towards changing your life can be scary, but I have your back! By scheduling this consultation, you are taking big, bold action towards helping future you and finding the life you are meant to live.

Ready for the next steps? I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your future, awesome, and authentic life! You are too important to keep holding yourself back. The world is waiting for you to show up and shine and I am excited to share this journey with you.

This has been the best investment I ever made in myself.

The most important thing that people should know about life coaching with Tracy is that IT WORKS! I came to Tracy with an idea that I wanted to make some radical changes in my life and live the life of my dreams and she was my guide. She kept me accountable, motivated, and focused through the process and the bumps along the way. This has been the best investment I ever made in myself.
Ann Winegar

I would encourage anyone feeling lost, or stuck, or without purpose to reach out and meet with her.

I have been working closely with Tracy @ Moving Forward Life Coaching for over a year dealing with a tragic and sudden loss in my life. I credit Tracy for helping me heal, inspiring me to make life changes, and to find joy again. Tracy is very encouraging and can break down things in a way that you can move on from the story you’ve been telling yourself for years. I would encourage anyone feeling lost, or stuck, or without purpose to reach out and meet with her.
Jennifer Burnette

If you work with Tracy, be ready for change and new opportunities.

If you work with Tracy, you better be ready for change and new opportunities. She will be your biggest cheerleader and encourager as she pushes you right out of your comfort zone. Doing the work has challenged and changed my beliefs in such a positive way about myself, what I’m capable of, and what goals I want to spend my time pursuing.
