Welcome in
You are loved and you matter more than you know
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. Unexpected grief, betrayal, or chronic illness, church hurt, or major life transitions can leave us carrying burdens we never imagined. While trying to hold everything together, it’s easy to lose sight of who we are— and wonder how to move forward.
There is a way through.Through compassionate, faith-informed coaching, you’ll rediscover your God-given identity, gain clarity for the road ahead, and take intentional steps toward hope, healing, and purpose.
Meet Karen
Hi, I’m Karen, owner and Founder of Lea Cole Coaching. I believe every season of life presents an opportunity for growth. I believe hope opens the door to new possibilities. And I believe you can move forward with renewed clarity, confidence, and purpose- no matter what chapter you’re in.
For more than three decades I’ve walked alongside women through seasons of uncertainty, growth, and transition. Along the way, I’ve learned that most of life’s greatest lessons are not learned in a class room, they’re discovered as we navigate challenges and choose to keep moving forward— anchored in our faith.
Today, as a Coach with a background in ministry and Human Development and Family Science, I partner with women who are ready to gain clarity about the present, identify meaningful next steps, and intentionally create a future that reflects their values, strengths, and God-given purpose.

A meaningful Collaboration
Coaching is a collaborative, future-focused partnership designed to help you gain clarity, identify meaningful goals, and take intentional action toward the future.Rather than focusing on diagnosing problems or treating the past, coaching helps you recognize your strengths, explore new possibilities, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence and purpose.As your coach, I won’t tell you what decisions to make or provide all the answers. Instead, I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer encouragement and accountability, and create a safe space for you to discover your own next steps—guided by your values and your faith.“For coaching to succeed, God must be at the core.”
— Gary R. Collins, Christian CoachingFor those who desire it, my coaching integrates biblical principles with evidence-based coaching practices, creating a faith-informed approach that honors both your relationship with God and your personal responsibility to grow, make wise choices, and move confidently toward the future He is calling you to embrace.Coaching isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about discovering what’s possible.
For the ministry wife
For more than thirty years, I served in ministry as a minister’s wife. I know the joy of the calling—but I also know the quiet expectations that often come with it.
Too often, pastors’ wives carry responsibilities that were never theirs to carry. They fill roles they were never called to fill, set aside gifts God uniquely entrusted to them, and spend years meeting expectations they never chose.
Over time, it’s easy to lose sight of the woman God created you to be.
If you’re ready to belong to a community without the pressure to perform or protect an image—a community of women who understand and are committed to encouraging one another through a journey of rediscovering your passion and calling that are uniquely yours, you are welcome.
