Support for people navigating life transitions, uncertainty, and the space in between

Alicia Richard

You may be in a season of change that doesn’t have a clear map yet —
a shift in family life, identity, location, health, work, or direction.Sometimes life opens in ways we expected.
Sometimes it breaks open in ways we didn’t.Either way, familiar structures can fall away before the next ones begin to take shape.Often there is grief in that space — the grief of letting go of what was known, or the anticipatory grief of sensing that a chapter of life is ending.This is a place to slow down, reflect, and think things through with steady support.You don’t have to figure it out alone.

About Me

I’m Alicia Richard, a coach who works with thoughtful people navigating meaningful transitions.My path into coaching grew out of years spent working alongside families in self-directed educational communities.I saw how much changes when people are given space to think for themselves, rather than being rushed toward solutions.Today I work with parents, empty nesters, and people navigating identity shifts, major life changes, or international moves — including parents of LGBTQ+ teens and young adults.I also work with people facing midlife career transitions, health challenges, or the complex emotional terrain of caring for aging parents.Often these moments arrive when familiar structures are falling away and new questions are just beginning to emerge.This isn’t therapy or advice-giving.It’s a steady, relational space to talk honestly about what’s changing and what matters now.

Who This is For

This work may be a good fit if you:

  • Are parenting a teen or young adult and feeling stretched, uncertain, or alone

  • Are navigating an empty nest or a significant shift in family life

  • Are facing a midlife career transition or questioning your direction

  • Are caring for aging parents or navigating health challenges in your family

  • Are navigating the end of a relationship — separation, divorce, or a difficult breakup

  • Are preparing for or adjusting to an international move

  • Feel in between identities, roles, or chapters of life

  • Have outgrown quick advice but still want thoughtful support

  • Want space to reflect without pressure to rush decisions

Many people reach out when a transition has started to affect their relationships, sense of direction or ability to move forward.

How I work

I offer one-to-one coaching in a focused, multi-month container designed to support clarity, steadiness, and integration over time.

  • Biweekly sessions via Zoom

  • Thoughtful, relational conversations

  • Space between sessions for reflection and integration

This work is about accompaniment — having a reliable place to think, feel, and make sense of what’s unfolding.

Next Step: Discovery Call

If you’re curious whether this kind of support would be helpful, I offer a free 30-minute Discovery Call.
This is a chance to:

  • Share a bit about what you’re navigating

  • Ask questions about how I work

  • See whether working together feels like a good fit

Transitions often ask more of us than we expect.When familiar structures fall away, it can help to have a steady place to pause, reflect, and orient yourself again.Clarity often begins by talking things through with grounded, thoughtful support.
