Hosted by: Coach LaDonna Rae

LaDonna Rae has over 20 years of experience writing, coaching, and mentoring in corporate environments. She also has certified as a Health Coach, Relationship Coach, and Life Coach. Her passion lies in empowering single child-free women. She is launching a Premier Self-Love Coaching Program specifically for single women who have chosen to remain child-free, where she combines her skills, knowledge, and training to tailor it to their unique needs.

In a culture that still predominantly values marriage as the ultimate relationship, LaDonna Rae firmly believes that being single and child-free is a valid, acceptable, and equitable option. She believes that single & child-free women are adults, not just “ladies-in-waiting” for men, marriage & children. She rejects the misogynist view that men are “the other child” and that women are destined to babysit adult men within their relationships. Most women have been trained all their life to focus on relationships with others (especially when it’s a romantic relationships), usually to the point that they neglect the most important relationship of all - the one you have with yourself. She believes that the most important relationship that you will ever nurture is the one you have with yourself and provides guidance that enables you to thrive.

At no other time in history have single and child-free women had such a unique opportunity to embrace their agency, take ownership of their power, and ultimately take ownership of their lives. Through her coaching program, LaDonna Rae helps her clients trust their intuition, accept & love their bodies (as they currently are), break-up with culture expectations and learn to nurture their overall well-being.

By equipping her clients with the confidence to audaciously live life on their own terms, LaDonna Rae encourages her clients to thrive in a culture that typically emphasizes being married with children (or at least in long-term couple-ship, often with children). Her goal is for her clients to truly "Independently Own and Operate" their lives, living counter to the status quo and embracing their independence.
