Find the Joy Coaching with Mindy McLane

Learn to Coach Yourself

Build a life you love.

Your life is an adventure & you're the HERO!

→ Maybe you're facing a dragon right now.

→ Maybe you feel overwhelmed, stuck, alone, afraid, or completely unsure what to do next.

→ Or maybe life is pretty good—but you know you're capable of more. You have things you want to experience, relationships you want to build, and dreams you want to chase.

Either way, here's something I fiercely believe:

You are far more capable than you know.

You don't need someone else to take over your story. You need great tools, meaningful questions, real experiences, people who believe in you—and the courage to keep going when things get hard.

That's what Find the Joy is about.

You bring the adventure. We'll bring some tools.

Around here, we believe...

☀

We fiercely trust young people.

We don’t remove your dragons. We help you discover that you can slay them.

You can become someone you trust to build a life you love.

WHAT FIND THE JOY ACTUALLY IS

This isn’t another course to sit through.

Find the Joy is life coaching you actually practice. You’ll learn tools for understanding your thoughts, handling hard things, building great relationships, pursuing meaningful goals, and taking care of the mind and body carrying you through it all.

But learning about something isn’t the same as knowing how to do it.

So we practice. We try things. We get uncomfortable. We pay attention to what our brains do. We fail forward. We ask questions. We get coached. We try again.

You can do it ugly until you can do it pretty.

Because confidence doesn’t mean knowing exactly what to do. Confidence means knowing you can figure it out.

Four parts of an extraordinary life.

Build the whole you.

MIND

Master Your Thoughts

Understand your mind, manage your thoughts, and create beliefs that help you thrive.

Connect

Build real Relationships

Strengthen friendships, have crucial conversations, and create connection that lasts.

Dream

Build Your Future

Discover your passions, explore your future, and create a life you're excited to live.

Thrive

Care for your whole self

Nourish your body, energy, and spirit so you can show up as your best self.

About those dragons...

A dragon is something in your life that feels bigger than you are.

Fear. Comparison. Perfectionism. A friendship that's falling apart. A belief that you're not enough. A habit you can't seem to change. A dream you're terrified to pursue.

We aren't going to promise you a life without dragons.

Dragons are part of the adventure.

They give us opportunities to rise—to become braver, wiser, kinder and more capable than we were before.

And here's the really cool part:

Every time you face something you didn't think you could handle, you collect evidence:

I can do hard things.
I can learn.
I can change.
I can figure things out.

That's how real confidence is built.

We aren't trying to create a dragon-free life.

We're becoming really good dragon slayers.

How the Program Works

☀

Learn it. Try it. Get coached. Try again.

A rhythm of learning, experimenting, noticing—and trying again.

Learn a Tool

Each month begins with live training and a practical tool you can use in real life.

Take the Challenge

Turn the tool into action with one real-world challenge. Not homework—an experiment.

Daily Sparks

Short 5–9 minute audio messages help you stay connected to what you’re practicing.

Watch Your Brain

Notice your brain’s opinions, excuses, doubts and stories—with curiosity instead of judgment.

Get Coached

Bring something from real life, submit it privately, or listen and learn from someone else’s coaching.

Keep Going

Change can feel uncomfortable. Keep practicing, learning and trying again—even when your brain wants to quit.

You do the becoming. I’ll help you keep going.

Hey there!

I'm Mindy.

And I fiercely trust young people.

MEET MINDY

I've spent the last eight years working with teenagers at Acton Leadership Academy, where I've had a front-row seat to something extraordinary:

When young people are given meaningful challenges, great questions, useful tools and the genuine belief that they can figure things out—they do incredible things.

My job as a guide wasn't to stand at the front of the room dispensing answers.

It was to create the game, ask the questions, step back—and watch the magic happen.

But there's another reason I created Find the Joy.

I needed this when I was young.

I spent years feeling like other people's choices determined whether I could be okay. I felt powerless over parts of my life and didn't understand how much influence my own thoughts and beliefs had over my experience.

It took me decades, great coaches, transformative books, difficult experiences and a whole lot of practice to discover tools that changed my life.

And eventually I found something I desperately wish teenage Mindy had known:

I wasn't powerless.

I could learn to manage my mind.
I could stop trying to manage everyone else's journey.
I could face hard things.
I could build beautiful relationships.
I could create a life I loved.

I found the key.

And now I want to hand young people the tools much earlier than I found them.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Maybe you're ready for more!

Find the Joy might be for you if…

• You have a dragon you’re ready to face.

• You overthink, compare or doubt yourself more than you’d like.

• You want stronger, more meaningful relationships.

• You have a dream—but you aren’t sure how to begin.

• Life is going pretty well, but you know you’re capable of more.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

You just need to be willing to get curious, try something new and keep going when it gets uncomfortable.

The driver’s seat is yours.

Joy isn’t the absence of hard things. It’s learning to find meaning, connection, growth and possibility—even when life isn’t easy.

I’ll bring tools, ask questions, create challenges and coach you when you get stuck.

But I can’t live your adventure for you.

And I wouldn’t want to.

Because this is your life. Your journey. Your becoming.
