Developing Purposeful Leaders and Values-Driven Entrepreneurs

Helping align your actions with your values to transform your life through coaching.

Do you ever feel like life is missing something?

Does it feel like you're just going through the motions without a real sense of direction or fulfillment?

Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same routine, feeling more confused, anxious, or isolated than you’d like. Are decisions harder to make, and do connections with others sometimes feel a bit shallow? You might wonder, “Is there something more meaningful out there for me?” or “Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out except me?

What if you could redesign your life to be filled with purpose, guided by meaning, and mindfully balanced?

The good news is you can, and I can help!

How Horses Led Me to My Purpose


Hi! I’m Hannah Waen, ACC - ICF-Certified Coach

Growing up, I never knew who I wanted to be. I knew I was strong, independent, curious, loved horses, and deeply cared for others. Despite my creativity, adaptability, and drive, finding a career path was challenging. My corporate years working in marketing felt unfulfilling, often leaving me deflated and exhausted. Yet, the barn was my refuge—my space to reconnect with nature and my authentic self, practice mindfulness, feel confident, and nurture my potential.

In 2020, during global uncertainty, I learned to trust my intuition (one of many lessons the horses taught me). This inner strength led to a career shift, a move to a new state, and a coaching career. By shaking everything up and starting fresh, I discovered my passion for supporting others dealing with conflicts of meaning and identity. Working with clients, I quickly realized my purpose was to help others find theirs. Looking back, I recognize horses were my guides, helping me find my path to coaching and fulfilling and meaningful life.

Today, as an ICF-certified life-purpose and leadership coach, I’m dedicated to helping you uncover your truth through personalized coaching and group sessions. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, professional, or artist, I’ll help you reconnect with your authentic self and turn your dreams into reality. Life is more fulfilling with purpose—I can’t wait for you to discover yours!

What guides you?

We’re experiencing a loneliness epidemic and are still trying to make sense of the impacts of the pandemic. Many of us have experienced a shift in our needs and priorities, so we must reevaluate what drives us, brings us joy, and excites us. Throughout life, you will likely have multiple purposes. These meaningful threads woven into life, work, and hobbies fill our hours with vibrancy and creativity and allow us to thrive. If you have lost this sense of meaning, it’s time to commit to building a purposeful life. Whether that means a minor shift in perspective or a full-scale overhaul, coaching can help you refocus, recommit, and reinvent a wonderfully fulfilling life.

  • Hedvika T.

    “Hannah’s approach to branding helped me find my core values, even with a long list to sift through and showed me how to live them authentically. I'm more confident about who I am now as a coach and entrepreneur, as well as what my brands stand for. On a practical level, I finally got past a creative block to finish my rebrand. Heartfelt recommendation!”

  • Kelley H.

    "Hannah is a wonderful coach. She's patient, easy to talk to, and you don't feel any hint of judgment from her during a session. She's able to suck you out of your preconditioned thoughts or the black holes that we get sucked into, thinking we're not able to do certain things because of what we've been told. Our sessions inspired me to make HUGE career and life changes that I would have never made without her coaching. I've left feeling more human, less of an imposter, and like I can do anything I set my mind to."

  • Camille K.

    "Working with Hannah was absolutely transformative to not only the way that I operated in my business - but also how I felt. During our time together I became more and more comfortable pushing myself to do scary or uncomfortable things with the increased confidence our sessions gave me. Hannah also gave me the full permission to be myself - ADHD and all - and encouraged me to build my brand identity and create systems that supported me- rather than making me feel more overwhelmed, which has been so extremely helpful. I highly encourage booking a session with Hannah to help you gain more confidence and clarity in your message and build your business in a way that is uniquely you."

  • Carey R.

    “I have discovered that having a great idea is not enough. You have to be able to get it out for people to see. This morning, I woke up motivated instead of overwhelmed. Thank You!"

  • Rachel O.

    "Each session with Hannah is like a dance. Oftentimes, I am the one leading, while she stays in perfect step with me. And, when I need it, she takes the lead and guides me in steps I didn’t know I could do. Everything we do together is grounded in integrity, and that for me is the music that makes my heart sing and my soul rejoice. Because of the work we do together, I am finding out who I am – and who I want to be – in my own coaching business and in my marketing. I am so grateful for Hannah’s keen listening, her insight, and her empathy."

  • Rebecah W.
