Guided Choices Inc.

03/23/2026

The time is near. On March 30, 2026 Guided Choices Inc. will close its doors after 30 years doing business.

I am thankful for all of you I served in California and Illinois, specifically San Diego, and McHenry Counties, and beyond. I am grateful for all of the amazing, women, children, and men I have had the honor to serve. You will always be in my heart.

However I came into your life; as a hypnotherapist or a life coach, I hope
I served you well and made a difference in your journey. I have watched some of you go from a child to grown men and women. I am so proud of you all. Thank you so much.

I will be continuing as the executive director of the nonprofit ChatterGirls the girl’s self-esteem program which has been my other passion for 13 years. I will continue writing and speaking. This all has been a wonderful journey. I will still be in Crystal Lake and will be opening a new office in April for ChatterGirls. I would love to continue to hear from you about your journeys now. Follow me on ChatterGirls page or my Alicia Birong page.

Coffee and conversation—two ingredients for a perfect connection! On International Coffee Day, why not invite your daughter, a peer, or a parent to grab a cup and dive into a meaningful chat? It's the perfect way to slow down, catch up, and have a conversation that matters. Whether it's with a friend, daughter, or parent, ChatterGirls believes in the power of connection over coffee!
