“Our adventures with Missy are ours to decide, she's our guide, she will change your life.”
I was a mess, a big mess. I desperately needed help beyond self help books, podcasts, and other self help methods. I was done trying to fix my mindset and conditional survival habits on my own. I'm a working mom, grandmother, wife and you name it for my family. I also work in a very large global organization that the demands never end, in fact over the years have gotten steadily worse. I was at a point where my mental and physical health were in very bad shape due the the major stressors coming from all directions. It was time to stop the madness.
Enter, my introduction to Missy, what a lifesaver!
Missy's coaching from beginning to end is spot on. To start she gets to know you first, helps you define what you're looking for, introduces you to assessments and joins you in discussion to understand your core values and goals. Throughout the 3+ months that I coached with Missy, I progressed each and every week. I even named my journey, "Me First". This was hard for me, all of my life was spent pleasing other people, ensuring that my family and my jobs were always taken care of first, and I was always last, if at all.
The benefits of my time with Missy are priceless, and they will continue for the rest of my life. She taught me to proactively think about what type of energy that I wanted to lead my life with, how to adapt to unexpected moments, and how to plan ahead for difficult situations that I knew were coming. She taught me how to "pause" when I was caught off guard, take the time to feel the emotion, but to wait and not respond until I could effectively react in the best possible way. I have a precious notebook full of notes and reflections from my time with Missy. It's full of her most impactful quotes and my most important reflections during my adventure with Missy, and is my go to every single day.
I'm a new person now. I'm no longer a puppet in the wind, swaying here and there, based on all of the external forces beyond my control. My mental and physical health are my top priority and will remain so the rest of my life. I cannot thank Missy enough for her compassion, friendliness, down to earth, and caring approach. Our adventures with Missy are ours to decide, she's our guide, she will change your life.

“Missy is warm, funny, kind, and extremely good at what she does. After my time with Missy as my coach, my life has been changed for the better. With Missy’s gentle guidance, my perspective has shifted, and I have gained powerful self-awareness.
Through Missy’s coaching, she will help you see the ins and outs of your thoughts, as well as help you understand the root of your internal decision-making process. Not only do you leave Missy’s coaching sessions mentally more aware, but you also leave with numerous resources to help you continue to build your foundation of transformation.
Coming into this process, I struggled to make important life decisions and was not prioritizing my self-care. Over the past 8-weeks, we worked as a team to alter my perception of myself and my motivation for change. At the end of the sessions, my decision-making is more focused, and my well-being has become a top priority. I feel noticeably emotionally lighter as the stressors that used to weigh me down have been lifted. Not only did we work on my internal thought process, but Missy applied ELI assessments to our coaching which blew me away. ELI assessments were used to center my value system and enlighten me on what matters most in my life. Throughout these assessments, Missy clearly communicated the process, and the results, and walked me through the ways I could apply this knowledge to my self-growth journey.
My family, my spouse, and - most importantly- myself have benefited from my time with Missy. I cannot recommend this process enough to anyone who is struggling with the heaviness of everyday life, or someone who would like to learn more about how their thoughts impact their life. Trust Missy, trust the journey, and trust that you’ll learn how to become the best version of yourself."

“Missy and I worked together for a brief three months. It’s amazing what three months can do. I’ve never had a life coach before, and I began our journey having no idea what it would be like or how I would respond to it. I’ve only known traditional therapy to be honest. In my experience, therapy has been talking through the toughest parts of life and learning how to move through them. But after my first session with Missy, I hung up the phone realizing how wildly different this would be. Not only was I on the receiving end of a kind and compassionate human, but I realized I had just met my biggest fan. Someone who wanted me to live my best life, whatever that meant for me. And whereas therapy in the past, for me at least, has mostly centered around “working through things”, my sessions with Missy were about discovering what I wanted in life, not how to survive it.
My favorite part about Missy is she’s both your coach and your biggest cheerleader. She’s your accountability bestie, who shows up every session with thoughtful (and sometimes really hard!) questions. She makes you think, re-evaluate, and make a plan. With action items. And follow-up questions. And follow-up questions to the follow-up questions. She’s there every session, cheering you on to make sure you’re moving towards your goals.
Thanks to those sessions, I found myself more cognizant and intentional of my life choices; giving earnest thought to who I was, wanted to be, and what life I wanted for myself. It’s so difficult at times to parse through everything there is to do in this world, prioritize it, and make it happen. Missy helped with that so much! And over time, really small changes that she encouraged and advocated for, culminated into really huge wins. Wins that made me start living the life I wanted to live. I started spending time with the people I loved, taking mini vacations that made my heart happy, and picking up old hobbies that I had sadly left behind because they “weren’t important”.
It’s not crazy that who we are and how we live become tragically out of sync over time. That’s no doubt where I was. Missy helped me re-learn and better understand who “me” was. And once I had that, the rest weirdly and effortlessly fell into place. I’m still a little surprised by how different my future looks like compared to this time last year. I’m truly excited and emotionally ready for it. And I believe anyone who has the opportunity to be on the receiving end of Missy’s thoughtfulness and friendly nudging (I can hear her right now saying, “but how do you know you’ve succeeded?”), will have a remarkably different, and incredibly hopeful, future as well.”

Missy will meet you wherever you're at and have your back along the journey. Furthermore, she makes sure you learn how to have your own back and retain the necessary tools for life beyond coaching.
“Coaching with Missy Frisch was genuinely life changing and I will be continuing to use many tools I've gained from our sessions together. She is an incredibly personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic coach.
During sessions Missy is focused on your specific goals and is supportive of your thoughts, emotions and questions. She makes you feel heard and respected in order to give you a safe space to talk through anything you need. Through our sessions I gained a new perspective on life and how to approach it for myself as an individual, on both a big and small scale.
Missy has an abundance of resources to work with, including an ELI Assessment through which I learned about my energy levels and the lense through which I personally view the world. This was a great new viewpoint to navigate my life; I was able to see how that lense both helps and hinders me, and more importantly how I can change that lense and energy to my advantage for whatever life may bring.
Overall, Missy helped me realize that there are always attainable steps on the path to whatever goals you have in life, big or small, and working on changing your mindset will get you a lot farther than you may think. Though it may sound easier said than done, Missy will meet you wherever you're at and have your back along the journey. Furthermore, she makes sure you learn how to have your own back and retain the necessary tools for life beyond coaching. I truly can't thank Missy enough for our time together and all she's taught me!”
