Frequently Asked Questions

If you go to the “Our Team” page you’ll see an updated list of all of the Coaches that are currently supporting young women who join our Coaching Platform/Community. Shannon Keating, our Founder, is leading all Group Coaching Calls. Then we have Shannon Keating, Ashley Love, Erin Panzarella, and Jessica Erceg currently on our Coaching Team. Each of these women is a young professional who is incredibly passionate about supporting young women. They have invested in continuing education and/or certifications in various modalities and techniques that support their coaching/mentorship role. They bring their own experience, education, and tools to the table.

The best thing you can do is make sure she knows that she can turn to you if she needs or wants to share anything. Being a non-judgmental space for her, listening and truly being present, will help her feel safe and support the areas of her life she’s working on inside of her coaching sessions. Then, checking in with her periodically to see how her time in the Coaching Platform is going is always a great idea!

Our Coaching Platform is holistic and quite robust - every aspect has been included very intentionally. Young women will be learning life skills, receiving empowering tools, and working with coaches to provide them with a professional, safe space to work through challenges and receive guidance in a personalized fashion. They will also be able to join in for a monthly workshops and Q&A calls centered around a topics such as supporting their mental health, creating healthy friendships, or improving their body image. Lastly, they will be able to join in for monthly “Money Dates” - where they can hop on a Zoom call and organize their finances for the entire month - working on skills like tracking, budgeting, paying off debt, and automating savings! They will also be a part of a community of positive, encouraging women so they know that they are not along in anything they are navigated and have a safe, empowering space to turn to to build themselves up, from the inside-out!

Speaking from personal experience, young women oftentimes get distracted from their college studies because their minds are preoccupied with insecurities, worries, and anxieties. What is going on inside of their love lives, inside of their friendships, and with their mental health can be huge distractors if they are not receiving the support they need! Our goal with BabesRising is to give young women tools they can use on a daily basis as well as a space they can turn to to work through their worries/struggles/problems, so they no longer take away from their school/professional focuses. We are also empowering young women with the confidence and clarity to really go after their dream studies, jobs, and life goals - so they can be putting their energy towards the passions, projects, and studies that truly light them up!

Wonderful question! Coaching and therapy share some similarities in that young women are receiving advice from a professional outside of their family/friends. However, Coaching is unique in that it is solutions & tools focused. The young women will be given a space to share about everything that’s going on in their lives and afterwards they will always be given an action step (or a few action steps) or take with them and apply inside their lives. Our Coaches also all have their own life experiences and credentials/certifications that they bring to the table so young women can explore a variety of holistic modalities ranging from breathing exercises to journaling to guided meditation to tapping (emotional freedom) techniques!

Another benefit of using our platform, is that we are mindfully pricing our two different plans so that young women can receive support, without paying the high therapy prices!
