EnLīven Wellness Life Coaching

EnLīven Wellness Life Coaching enLīven Wellness Life Coaching | Toledo's personal growth practice. Coaching, courses, workshops. Perhaps none so much as those failures that you must own.

I fully believe that you have to go through trials to be the best versions of yourself. If you (and I) are not pushed, pulled, and stretched, you do not experience the impetus to consider greater purpose in our lives. Sometimes you experience these trials through things beyond your control such as the death of a loved one, a natural disaster, a job loss, but you may bear responsibility for your failures and struggles. All of these difficult experiences, while unwanted, have the potential to be hidden blessings to make you a person of amazing potential and to make you a person with uncanny grit, strength, passion, and perseverance. Every day I wonder what my life might be like if I didn't "screw it up". But if I move through the question and see all that I have gained from what I have lost, I recognize that I had to break and heal and break again to heal again (you know your bones usually get stronger when they are broken and stressed and heal) to gain the insight and knowledge to support other people to grow. I am not special in that way. You have this capacity to take your failures, when you identify your internal and external resources, and to capitalize on them to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. As a former school psychologist turned personal growth coach, I focus my efforts directly on the stress and mindset needs of my clients, especially those committing their life to serving others in mental health, physical health and medicine, education, and public safety. It is so vital that these dedicated professionals have an outlet and the tools to function at the top of their personal and professional capacity. By stepping into your stress and challenges you (re)discover the strengths and gifts you have carried all along. It is so rewarding to watch clients accelerate into the life they have dreamed about when they dedicate themselves to personal growth. I'd be honored to take your referrals to hard working friends, family or colleagues that are ready to achieve their goals and grow their capacity to love a purposeful and fulfilling life. I am available for coaching via video conference as well as in-person in Toledo, OH and surrounding communities. Learn more at http://enLivenWellnessCoaching.com or http://LifeCoachToledo.com

When everything in life feels up in the air, what do you hold onto to stay grounded? 🤔

There's a wonderful exercise called 'Values Clarification' that helps you find your internal anchor. Your job can change, your relationships can evolve, but YOUR core values—like connection, creativity, security, or adventure—stay with you.

Here’s how you can find yours:
1️⃣ Grab a pen and paper and just write down all the words that feel important to you in life.
2️⃣ Look at your list and circle the top 3-5 that really, truly feel like YOU.
3️⃣ Ask yourself: What's one small thing I can do tomorrow that honors one of these values?

This helps you focus on living a meaningful life, right now, no matter what's going on around you. What's one of your core values? Share below!

It's so easy to get stuck on the negative when we're going through a hard time. Our brains just seem to zoom in on what's wrong! If you can relate, we wanted to share a gentle tool called 'Benefit Finding'.

It’s the simple practice of looking for the unexpected silver linings that come from tough situations. It's not about pretending to be happy, but about noticing the strength you're building along the way.

Want to try? For the next few nights, take 5 minutes to answer these questions:
1. What was one unexpected moment of peace I felt today?
2. What did I learn about how strong I am today?
3. What's one new possibility I can see now that I couldn't before?

Let us know if you try it! What's one small good thing you can notice today?

Have you ever felt like the ground was shifting beneath your feet? Maybe it's an empty nest, a move to a new city, or starting over completely. These moments feel chaotic and unsettling, and it's okay to feel that way. ❤️

But there's a comforting thought: "In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity." This doesn't mean ignoring the pain of the change! It just means that the breakdown of our old routine is exactly what makes room for something new—and often, something more 'us'—to be built.

It’s an invitation to get intentional about what we really want in our next chapter. What 'chaos' are you navigating right now? Let's share and support each other in the comments.

Feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of a big life change? 🤯 Let’s try a quick visualization exercise together. It’s called Connecting with Your Future Self. Take 10 minutes today to close your eyes. Imagine yourself one year from now. You’ve made it through the hard part. You are settled, happy, and strong. Now, ask that future version of you: "What advice do you have for me right now?" Write down the answer and stick it on your fridge. It’s amazing how much wisdom you already have inside you!

We know that when life gets hard, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. But have you heard of "Benefit Finding"? It’s a gentle practice of looking for the silver linings—not to ignore the pain, but to recognize your own strength. Try this weekend ritual: Grab your journal and ask: "What is one unexpected lesson this messy time has taught me this week?" Maybe you learned you are more patient than you thought, or you discovered a new hobby. Share one small "unexpected gift" from your week below! ✨

Have you ever felt like you're standing in the "great in-between"? Maybe the last box is packed, the retirement papers are signed, or you just dropped that last kid off at college. You aren't who you were, but you aren't quite who you will be yet. Brené Brown calls this the "Messy Middle." It feels chaotic and uncomfortable, but believe this... It’s actually where the magic happens. This is the chrysalis stage. It’s okay if it feels messy right now... that just means you’re growing. Tell us in the comments: What life transition are you navigating right now? 👇

This quote by Melody Beattie speaks to the heart of what I do. When you are navigating a major life transformation, it is easy to only focus on the "chaos" and "confusion".
Gratitude is more than just a holiday tradition; it is a tool for resilience. It helps ground us, turning what we have into enough, and helping us find that vital path from confusion to clarity.
I am are grateful for you and the trust you place in me to be part of your journey.
We hope your day is filled with peace, connection, and a feast of gratitude.

Question for you: What is one small thing, a "stranger turned friend" or a "house turned home", that you are grateful for today? Let me know in the comments. 👇

I want to share a beautiful and transformative exercise with you all called **'Future-Self' Visualization.**

Imagine your future self—one year from today—happy, thriving, and at peace. Now, imagine that version of you sitting down to write a letter to the you of today.

What would they say? What wisdom would they share? What challenges would they tell you you've overcome? What are they most proud of you for?

This isn't just wishful thinking; it's a way to tap into your own inner wisdom and get a clear vision that can pull you forward with hope and excitement. It’s an act of deep kindness to yourself.

If you try this, share one word for how your future self feels! 👇

My Story

I’m Todd Smith, founder & director of enLīven Wellness Life Coaching, Toledo's premier personal growth practice. I help hard working, conscientious people who are really struggling with daily stresses or stress from difficult situations. I'll help you understand and use stress to your advantage and thrive in it instead of waging the constant battle against it. You'll tap into your inner resources so you can make the changes needed to feel empowered in challenging situations and create your most fulfilling life. We'll work with your thoughts and behaviors, and use mindfulness to manage your most harmful symptoms of distress.

As a former school psychologist turned personal growth coach, I focus my efforts directly on the stress and mindset needs of my clients, especially those dedicating life to serving others in mental and physical health, education, and public safety. I love seeing people recognize that stress is part of life and from stressful situations comes true purpose.

By stepping into stress you (re)discover the strengths and gifts you have carried with you all along. It is so rewarding to watch clients accelerate into the life they have dreamed about when they dedicate themselves to personal growth. I'd be honored to work hard with you to help you achieve your goals and grow your capacity to love your life.

I am available for tele-coaching anywhere in the world, and in-person in Toledo, OH and surrounding communities.
