The Shift Coaching - Kathy Varol

The Shift Coaching

This isn’t self-improvement. This is identity reconstruction.

If you’re ready to shed the life that no longer fits, I’ll walk with you through the fire.

You’re not behind. You’re not late.
Your truth doesn’t require velocity—it requires reverence.

Kathy leads you down paths that you never knew existed, which, more often than not, reveals ways to improve your business and yourself.

– Peter Baron

What I Do:

I help people who are standing at the threshold of transformation—those who have outgrown the roles they’ve been performing and feel the quiet ache that something deeper is calling.

My work is about walking with you through the in-between.
Not to fix you.
Not to rebrand you.
But to help you shed what no longer fits and begin to live from the inside out.

Together, we tune the instrument of your life back to its original frequency—the one that hums with truth, wholeness, and your own unique medicine.

This work isn’t about chasing clarity. It’s about creating space for what’s already true to reveal itself.

Whether you’re shifting careers, identities, or entire ways of being, I bring the scaffolding for your softening: frameworks, reflection, deep listening, and just enough structure to hold you while you unfold.

This is not coaching-as-performance.
This is coaching as devotion—to who you are becoming, to the integrity of your path, and to the deep knowing that your next chapter is already inside you, waiting to be heard.

This isn’t life coaching as a warm bath. This is shadow work in a mirror.
If you want someone to validate your stuckness, I’m not your coach.
If you want someone to challenge the parts of you performing for approval and invite forward the self you’ve kept locked away—then I’m in.

The Unfolding Path

Transformation isn’t a straight line. It doesn’t happen on a deadline. It happens in seasons, in spirals, in sacred disruptions.

The Unfolding Path is the rhythm I witness again and again. It offers gentle scaffolding to walk with what’s real, in real time:

  • The Itch: The subtle ache that something is misaligned—even if everything looks fine from the outside.
  • The Funeral: The sacred release of identities, beliefs, or versions of yourself that are no longer true.
  • The Remembering: The rediscovery of your deepest self, your voice, your values—the knowing that never left.
  • The Becoming: The integration. The experimentation. The joyful, messy act of living from the inside out.

This path isn’t something I push you through. It’s something I walk with you, at your pace, with reverence and care.

What We Might Explore Together

This work doesn’t follow a script, but it does have a rhythm—and you don’t have to walk it alone.

These are the most common areas where I support my clients:

  • Shed the Costume: Together, we will strip away the layers of expectation and achievement that no longer serve you, clearing the clutter to reveal the authentic YOU beneath.
  • Reconnect with Your Inner Voice: Learn to listen to and trust the deepest parts of yourself, tap into your intuition, and uncover what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.
  • Figure Out What You Really Want: Discover what true satisfaction looks and feels like for you, and begin to align your life with these newfound values.
  • Identify and Reprogram Destructive Beliefs: We’ll uncover the beliefs in your “internal operating system.” Dive into how these beliefs have been influencing the way you show up in the world, and reprogram them to support your journey forward.
  • Stepping Into Balance: Finding a sustainable rhythm for the holistic you (work + life) where you thrive. Learning to identify what brings you alive and what sucks your soul, so you can move toward aliveness with intention.
  • Discover Your Spark: Uncover the vibrant, rich colors of a life lived fully ALIVE, moving beyond the black-and-white existence of mere success and outside the lifeless grasp of autopilot.

This work will likely ask more of you than you’re used to.
 It might burn.
 It might disrupt.
 But it will never ask you to be anything other than yourself.
 I won’t fix you—I’ll help you reclaim you.

This isn’t hand-holding. It’s soul-tending.
You’ll bring your questions, your resistance, your rawness.
I’ll bring a fierce presence, a clear mirror, and tools that cut through the noise.

Together, we won’t just talk about transformation—we’ll practice it.
Moment by moment. Truth by truth.
Until what’s real is undeniable—and what’s false can’t survive.

Two Ways to Kickstart Your Transformation

1) A Single-Session Insight

Sometimes a single moment of clarity can shift everything. This is a one-time, soul-attuned session to help you reconnect with your own wisdom and move forward with deeper resonance.

What to Expect:

  • Targeted Insight: We dive straight into the heart of your chosen issue, bringing clarity and fresh perspective.
  • Actionable Steps: Leave the session with grounding, questions to explore more deeply, and steps you can immediately implement to address your challenge.
  • Cost: $250 for a one-hour or $300 for a 1.5 hour session.

This session is perfect for those seeking a quick, impactful change or needing immediate clarity on a pressing matter. It’s a glimpse into what deeper coaching can offer, allowing you to experience the value of introspection and guided discovery in a condensed format.

2) A Four-Month Transformation – “The Sparkler”

A 4-month rupture-and-rebuild journey.
We won’t organize the chaos—you’ll walk through it, and I’ll hold the torch to help you see.
Expect transformation. Expect discomfort. Expect truth.

The Process:

Once you sign up, we’ll schedule a 30-minute introductory call to dive into your objectives and current challenges. The introductory call will establish the starting point of this transformative 4-month journey.

This not a passive experience but an active exploration into the depths of who you are and who you wish to become. Over four months, we will work together to peel back the layers of your current existence, and with curiosity and compassion, we’ll dive into the deep vastness of you. The path to uncovering (or rediscovering!) the vibrant hues of YOU requires a willingness to explore your deepest depths. Bringing what’s been waiting to be seen into the light.

The Sparkler coaching journey is for those ready to commit to a profound shift in themselves, by investing their time and energy into increasing self-awareness and crafting a life that’s not just lived, but vividly experienced and deeply enjoyed.

Hi, I’m Kathy

I’ve been exactly where you are right now. Chasing after every goal, ticking off every box on my life’s checklist. I have bar tended in Australia, served coffee in the UK, made rugs and taught kickboxing in Morocco, gutted fish in Alaska, created sportswear strategy in Germany, and developed new beers in middle America. I got my MBA from Georgetown University, graduating with honors, and then scaled the corporate ladder, working in top companies: Microsoft, MillerCoors, adidas…

Only to realize that the rush of “I’ve made it” just didn’t stick around.

Seriously, the buzz from landing that next promotion? Gone faster than a good Netflix binge. It got me thinking hard about what really fuels my happiness and why some parts of my life felt like they were in grayscale rather than HD.

I started asking myself the tough questions about what I truly wanted, how I wanted to show up in life, and how I wanted to feel. I shook things up, ditched those old “truths,” and started rediscovering who I really am. It’s been a game-changer. Now, I’m here to help you do the same. If any of this rings a bell, I’m here to help – like a GPS for navigating out of the funk and into a vibrant life we all deserve.

*A Note For The Coaching Curious And The Skeptics*

If the world of coaching feels like uncharted territory, or if you’re carrying a healthy dose of skepticism about what coaching can do for you, you’re not alone.

Many have stood where you are, wondering if peeling back the layers with a coach is the answer they’ve been searching for or just another buzzword in a world drowning with them.

My coaching isn’t about providing all the answers; it’s about discovering the right questions that lead you to your own insights and breakthroughs. Think of it as upgrading your internal navigation system. It’s for those who are ready to take the helm of their own ship, perhaps for the first time. To chart a course to a more fulfilling horizon. It’s a partnership that respects your uniqueness and builds on your strengths, helping you to see beyond the fog of routine and rediscover the vibrant colors of life that are waiting for you.
