About Alyssa Lee, Your Life & Career Coach
Why choose me as your coach / mentor?
With 14 years professional industry experience and as someone who has created a happy and balanced life, I feel ready to serve in a giving role to teach and mentor others of what I have learned along the way.
When I was getting started out on my own, I deeply valued those that took the time to take me under their wing and teach me about different aspects about life.
Whether it was a small piece of advice or ongoing support, it all helped shape me to who I am today. I want to be this for you and would be honored to be a part of your journey.
My journey hasn’t been a straight line, and that’s exactly what makes me so passionate about this work. I’ve faced my own crossroads and moments of “What now?”—and through it all, I’ve learned how important it is to have support, clarity, and someone in your corner who really gets it.
I bring a blend of empathy, real-world experience, and practical tools to help you reconnect with what matters most. Whether you're looking for more balance, searching for purpose, or ready to finally put yourself first, I’m here to walk alongside you—not to tell you what to do, but to help you discover your own path and move forward with confidence.
Coaching with me is a safe, judgment-free space to get honest, dream big, and take real steps toward a life that actually makes you happy.
