She Makes Life Better: Meet Melissa Rivers
In what ways does your business help clients better navigate life challenges?
Origins of Peace was birthed during a time when I was experiencing cancer, divorce, and job loss simultaneously. I could not help myself until I slowed down to figure out exactly what my current needs were and what I desired for my future. My coaching programs provide that much-needed space for clarity when life gets hard. I help my clients take a look at all of their wellness areas, understand how they currently show up in each, and then create a plan for forward motion and progression.
What inspired you to enter this industry?
Even before obtaining my coaching certification, I was always asked for help or guidance on how to handle tough situations. I lost my father at a very young age and as friends grew up and began losing parents or close loved ones they would ask me how I got through it. This is what initially made me want to become a life coach.
How do you empower women to cultivate a positive mindset for their overall well-being?
I coach women on how to think above their current circumstances. Truthfully, life is hard AND your faith has to be bigger than those circumstances. My programs are based on biblical scripture and I show my clients how to find freedom and courage in those scriptures.
Can you share a few strategies for overcoming common barriers that prevent many from achieving their health & wellness goals?
My strategies are based on the concept of Peace. Two of my most commonly used strategies are P.E.A.C.E. Goals and Maintaining Peaceful Spaces
PEACE Goals are Purposeful, Examined, Achievable, Centered & Evolving Goals that help individuals set goals based on their strengths, values, and beliefs.
Maintaining Peaceful Spaces is first about giving yourself permission to experience life differently and then deciding to stop revisiting places of past hurt (physically, mentally & emotionally)
