Real Coaching for
Real Life
with Coach Cheryl Novak
I am committed to empowering women through life’s transitions, helping them navigate challenges and make complex decisions with clarity. My guidance leads them toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. With my support, women discover their true potential and develop lasting resilience.
​Transformation & Growth has Been My Driving Force
Welcome!
​
I understand the unique challenges women face because I’ve lived them myself. I’ve navigated divorce, career transitions, health struggles, and the inevitable ups and downs of life. It wasn’t easy, and there were times I questioned my worth and wondered if I was enough. Sometimes, all I could do was cry—and I’ve learned that’s okay. There’s a healing power in allowing yourself to feel and release those emotions.
​
But after a while, I realized I needed to make changes to move forward. I started by joining a women’s group where I found understanding and support. I sought therapy and coaching. I read books to learn how others overcame life’s major challenges. Through this journey, I discovered that while our experiences are unique, our emotions often connect us. Knowing you’re not alone in your feelings can be incredibly empowering.
​
Now, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges and decisions, define your goals, and take meaningful steps toward the life you deserve. Together, we’ll create a path forward, and I’ll be there every step of the way as you embrace your strength and confidence.
