It’s Time to Have That Life You’ve Been Imagining. . .

You know, the one you long for. The one you know is waiting. The one that’s been calling to you as you settled through every decade for less than what you truly desire.
It’s time. let’s do this. . .
WELCOME TO

Your One of a Kind Life


I believe you’re meant to have a life that’s original, creative, and beautiful; a one of a kind life, that only you can live. It’s time to stop pretending to be anyone other than who you truly are.

And, I know what you’re thinking. I had those thoughts, too. I’m too old. It’s too late. My family won’t approve. I can’t leave my job. I’ll look foolish. It won’t work out. What will people think? There’s no time. There’s no money. Someone else might be able to reimagine their life. . .but it’ll never work for me. . .

I promise you, on the other side of every one of those fears & doubts is your one of a kind life. It’s waiting for you. It’s beckoning you onwards. It’s all your Future Self can do to not reach through time & whisper fiercely in your ear, “You can do this! I’m here! I’m waiting for you!”

I’m here to tell you it’s possible. I know, because I felt that way, too. For a long time. But I decided I’d settled for long enough, and it was time to fire Fear.

So, if change feels a little too scary, or overwhelming; if Fear starts shouting at you in the middle of the night, take heart. I’ve been where you are, and you don’t have to do this on your own.

You’re in the right place.

  • Paula was inspiring, loving, and supportive every step of the way. She was always gentle and direct. Before I worked with Paula, I didn’t have the tools or know how to create the possibility to make my best life come true. Now I do, thanks to Paula.

  • Time spent with Paula has brought an energy to my spirit that I was unable to harness alone.

Kind Words . . .

I’ve worked with smart, thoughtful, creative women, just like you, looking to cultivate a life
that’s more authentic, relaxed, and comfortable.
Here’s what they say about working together . . .

  • “. . .feeling grateful for some juicy good moments with Paula Tarrant today. WOW. I feel slightly like I was called out, split open and put back together again in a new configuration. Some parts got rearranged. Some stuff got dropped. All lovely, easy, and gentle. No trauma. New phase of alignment.”
    Claire Sierra
  • I cannot tell you how much your focused, caring healing coaching has done for me. You have a way of getting to the heart of the matter in an easy, relaxed manner, drawing out issues and concerns that otherwise would have stayed buried and kept me “stuck”. You really are a healer, and I appreciate your gift so much. Life can be successful in body, mind, spirit and prosperity. You opened the door in my life, shed healing light in my soul, so I can make that happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Carole C.
  • Paula came into my life during a time of chaos. It was a time of confusion. I was about to change [real estate] brokers, but which one was right for me? There were so many choices, so many questions. Paula helped me organize my thoughts and get really clear about what I needed from a broker. It was through her coaching that I was able to make the right decision for me!
    Gina E.
  • Paula was inspiring, loving, and supportive every step of the way. She was always gentle and direct. Before I worked with Paula, I didn’t have the tools or know how to create the possibility to make my best life come true. Now I do, thanks to Paula. I have had the courage to take a look at myself and a newfound strength to face my fears and make changes in my life. I know this is because of her.
    Debbie Friedman
  • Paula is just a godsend. She truly cares about your development and success in life. She is a wonderful coach who has touched my life. All will benefit from Paula’s coaching and insight, both personally and professionally.
    Michelle Hovey
  • You are a master coach who breathed life into me. It’s true, your voice and words are life forming for those who are “stuck”! It makes me able to stand and live in my own space and truly life my Real Life! Just as beautiful as when you said it!
    Loranda Hellen-Thomas
  • Time spent with Paula has brought an energy to my spirit that I was unable to harness alone. Feeling empowered as I did, I shared some of what I had learned with my mom. Six months later my mom called me, asking if I remembered sharing some of Paula’s coaching thoughts with her. I had forgotten about the conversation until that moment.
    She related how she had made a goal to apply the ideas I’d shared with her to her relationship with my father. She expressed how happy they were, and both felt the previous six months of their near forty year marriage had been the most meaningful.
    The coaching sessions had proven to be invaluable not just to myself but had renewed the spirit of some of my loved ones.

    The Story Behind Your One of A Kind Life

    Some moments are so firmly imprinted in your memory that when you call them up, decades later, they feel as recent as something that happened a few years ago. One of those moments for me happened when I was a new college freshman; full of optimism, ready for all kinds of possibilities, dreaming of what I…

    What Is A One of A Kind Life?

    My vision of what defines a one of a kind life may surprise you. What it isn’t is a picture-perfect version of you, or your home, or your life. What it is instead is the most authentic version of who you are, what you do, and how you are living. A one of a kind…

    A Manifesto for Your One of A Kind Life

    I’ve spent the better part of my adult life getting caught up in the efficiency-obsessed, productivity-driven, personal development seeking culture that has come to dominate our lives. I’ve read the books, taken the courses, hired the coaches, tried all the planners, set the goals, micromanaged the goals, all in the pursuit of “a better life”….
