How My Life Coaching Dream Became the KIP App

Every visionary has that dream, the big one that whispers to you for years but seems entirely too vast to tackle alone. For me, after decades spent coaching and sharing modalities that blend science, ancient wisdom, and disciplined practices to ignite emotional and mental well-being (which, let's be honest, is hard work!), that dream was an app. How do you take decades of passion and put it into a tiny icon? I knew I needed to stay relevant and share the life-changing content of my Pursuit of Balance (POB) program with more people. What I lacked, however, was a brilliant technical mind, and given my well-earned "trust issues," I was apprehensive for a business partner, or so I thought.
Enter Mike L., courtesy of a perceptive, recently graduated POB student, Denise M. She was the spark. She loved the course but simply wished for a way to stay connected to her daily practices on the go. Then, almost as an aside, she mentioned her friend in 2022, when she came for a visit, a genius software engineer named Mike, who might be interested. What followed felt divinely orchestrated. Mike instantly grasped the deep, soulful content of POB. He didn't just code; he created a container of total, judgment-free collaboration. For two years of weekly meetings, he held the vision for my long-ago dream, asking thoughtful questions and truly listening. It was an incredible experience that proved to me that sometimes, the universe knows exactly the type of partner you need to see a project through, a kind of double blessing, thanks to our mutual, wonderful friend.
And so, in August 2025, KIP (Koach In Pocket) was formally released! KIP is not about chasing endless productivity; it’s a habit-tracking app designed to improve your mental health, emotional well-being, and inner calm. It seamlessly blends thoughtful habit formation with weekly expert guidance, drawing directly from the acclaimed Pursuit of Balance™ lifestyle program. It’s been a fun, fascinating journey watching the design, creation, and execution unfold. My heart is truly grateful for the trust, the technology, and the dear friend who knew exactly which two people needed to climb this mountain together. Now, the tools for intentional living are right there with you, always. Don't wait, press the button to get started!
