Discover Your Purpose Course

A note about this course: I created this course during my previous work as a midlife coach and have kept it available as a free educational resource. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor in Illinois and no longer practice as a coach. This course is for education and personal development and is not psychotherapy or a substitute for individualized mental health care.

This Discover Your Purpose course is aimed at women 40+ who want to find clarity and direction in the second half.

Step by step, we work through the Proven Purpose Formula, in order to help you reach your goal: your own unique purpose statement—one you feel excited and challenged to live out every day!

We do this through video lessons and exercises you can work through at your own pace. Be sure to download the Follow-Along Guide that comes with this course. You’ll find places to take notes as well as detailed instructions for each module’s assignments.

I’m Hélène Stelian, LPC, NCC, MBA.

I created this course during my previous work as a midlife coach, when I focused on helping women navigate personal growth, reinvention, and meaningful next chapters.

Since then, I’ve embarked on a new chapter of my own. I returned to graduate school and am now a Licensed Professional Counselor and psychotherapist in Illinois, working with adults and couples at Skylight Counseling Center.

I’ve kept these courses freely available because I believe they continue to offer useful opportunities for reflection, learning, and growth.
