About me

Hi! I am Joie Lacourse and I teach people to let go of things that no longer serve them. Whether that be people, jobs, or habits, the goal is always the same - Becoming clear on what you truly want out of life and building a measurable results action plan to get there.

My Story

I am a Life Coach and graduate from the Health Coach Institute and am also certified in CIJ Clarity Catalyst, CIJ Insight for Life, and CIJ Culture Catalyst by Stanford University. I struggled severely with my self-confidence for many years. My relationships, intimate or not, suffered for it. I was NOT a nice person; therefore, I drew people into my circle that were on my same frequency and then wondered why they treated me the way they did.

As I got older, I slowly started to realize that I was the problem, not my friends. I had a bad attitude and I needed to change it. But how?! Where do I start?! It was a very challenging process as I first needed to evaluate the relationships that I created, and the people in my circle that had no intention of growing with me. That wasn’t the hard part though. The hardest part was looking at myself in the mirror and convincing myself that I deserve better, I am worthy of better, and that I love myself and all my flaws. This meant sleepless nights while confronting old ghosts, it meant picking myself up off my bathroom floor after crying for hours, it meant talking to my doctor, and starting a new journey to heal so I could become whole for what felt like the first time in my life.

When I finally decided it was time, my healing journey began with a book. One small, short, yellow, self-help book called “You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero. This is where my process of picking up the pieces that I left on my bathroom floor started. I became “addicted” to the images I had in my head of my future self. That person is SO happy. She is SO loved, and SO admired. She is successful. I WANT TO BE HER!!

And voila… Here I am! I am constantly trying to be better than the person I was yesterday. I am constantly growing and loving myself every moment through it. I get to travel whenever I want to, I have AMAZING friends in my circle now, and I have built a trusting relationship with my family that is sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does coaching work?

Coaching is an interactive experience where we discover your goals and your passions and use them to help you travel down a path to the life you want.

How are you different from other life coaches?

Been there, done that - Heard the saying? There are not many obstacles I haven't been through to get me where I am today. Because of this, I have a much deeper understanding and empathy for those who are struggling with their feelings and changing their habits. So first and foremost my coaching is about transforming beliefs and mindsets so that my clients can be present with themselves and their lives in a whole new way. I follow that work with step-by-step guidelines around healthy ways to navigate through emotions. Because my focus is very narrow and I have personal experience overcoming many challenges, what you get with me is a deep level of expertise on what works to recover from a place of sadness and disappointment. I’ve become an expert at many topics and that’s why my clients get great results that they are thrilled with - and we have a lot of laughs along the way!

How long does it typically take to see results?

The time that your coaching process will take depends on the complexity of your goals and your commitment and openness to your process.

WHAT TYPE OF PERSONALITY DO YOU WORK BEST WITH AND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME?

My programs are created for high achievers who are absolutely ready and fully committed to having a new relationship with themselves, and a strong desire for a bright and successful future.

The Unstoppable Confidence program is NOT for those who aren’t ready to commit financially to their future, and it is NOT for those who just want a list of “do this, not that” (because if that worked for my type of client, it would have worked already). Another kind of person I won’t work with (without exception) is the whiner or the chronic skeptic, as well as individuals who consistently don’t show up to sessions or make excuses in order to keep putting themselves and their health last on the list of priorities. If you are one of these people, I gently and respectfully ask that you not schedule an initial conversation with me and I hope you understand why. We’ll probably just not work well together and I wouldn’t want you to waste your time or money.

Consider what you’ll do with me to be a transformational experience where you’re consistently taking action. No more worrying that your life will never change; you’ll open up to a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve this incredibly exciting goal: ending the war within yourself so you can experience ultimate happiness.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

You can expect to:

-Create a vision for what ultimate happiness looks like for you.

-Anchor into your Big Why (this is the real reason why making this change matters!)

-Clear clutter (emotional and physical) from your life so you can make space for the new you.

-Optimize your lifestyle by discovering all the nutrients that feed your body and your soul, like: Sleep & Movement, Love & Sex or Fun & Play.

-Become honest about what’s working and what’s not working in your career, relationships, family life, spiritual connection and more (where do you say “yes” when you really mean “no”?)

-Learn how to receive help and support (you’re always giving, but who’s giving back to you?)

-Put yourself and your health first (this is YOUR time - no more putting yourself last on the priority list)
