Why Vanni started coaching
Vanni came in with 3 clear goals and a very real lived experience behind them:
“To be less stressed”
“To develop healthier habits”
“To feel less overwhelmed by daily chores and expectations”
Underneath those goals is a common pattern: when stress is high, the brain defaults to survival mode, and everything feels heavier, harder, and more urgent than it needs to be.
How the coaching worked
Vanni described the core mechanism of our work like this:
“Edie guided me to think through my thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping me shift my mindset for different results.”
Vanni also noted the practical reinforcement piece:
“Edie provided tools to track habits that support my goals.”
This was not “inspiration-only” coaching. We paired mindset shifts with behavioral structure so the new identity had something to stand on.
The biggest change
Vanni’s biggest shift was not a new to-do list. It was a new self-concept:
“I’ve realized I don’t have to be disorganized, overwhelmed, or stressed.”
“Cultivating a new mindset now keeps me grounded and helps me accomplish what matters on time.”
Vanni’s transformation: physical, mental, and emotional
“I feel lighter and more trusting of myself to reset when I get off track with my goals and healthy habits.”
This is what sustainable change looks like: not “I never get off track,” but “I trust myself to reset quickly without spiraling.”
The unexpected result
“I no longer feel the urge to procrastinate when tasks need completing.”
Procrastination is rarely laziness. It is usually a stress response. When the nervous system settles and the mindset shifts, follow-through becomes easier.
How Vanni describes Edie
“Kind, sensitive, insightful, intuitive, a great listener, very knowledgeable, effective communicator, excellent teacher, and powerful mentor.”
Who Vanni believes this is for
“If you want to peel back old habits and negative thoughts that hold you back from being a healthy, confident, joyful, spiritual human being, Edie is the guide you need.”
Final words
“Edie is an amazing coach. My work with her has been transformational.”
