Let me introduce myself…my name is Chrissy Cordingley and I am the founder of Rise and Thrive Wholeness Coaching and host of The Flare Up Show. As a human, I am a mom of two, a romantic partner, a daughter, a friend and lover of life. My career has had many twists and turns where I have been a safety specialist, a sales director, a travel agent, an executive, an entrepreneur, a professional writer
, speaker, and through it all I have discovered my greatest joy and talent - coaching. I love helping people discover their inner greatness, helping to turn their walk of shame into a stride of confidence. Help them discover what their unique awesome sauce is and walk beside them as they live to create a happy and successful life on their terms. In 2022 I thought I had it all figured out.

I have had abundant opportunities to learn and grow, including the launch of a partnership corporation with Ignite Purpose, helping corporations be
Once I learned to love my WHOLE self and treat myself with dignity love showed up everywhere, even in my romantic life! I want you to love your whole self too and have what your heart desires, in the way you want to make it happen. When you work with me, you are the drive, I am just the tour guide who will make sure you have everything you need for a safe and successful trip!
