Welcome to On Purpose Coaching

Hi, I’m Lily, and I am excited to share what got me here today.

My journey to this work began with a near-death experience in 2015. This touch with death sparked the beginning of a clearing-out phase. During that time, I spent a LOT of time doing shadow work. I also launched Open Space Design, a holistic decluttering business supporting people to release what is no longer serving them.

I got to know my “clutter” VERY well during that time, and I supported hundreds of people to do the same!

But I was beginning to get bored of my “stuff.” I desperately wanted a breakthrough. At a low point, I called out to the universe “OKAY!! I AM READY!! Please help me release whatever else is holding me back, even if it’s painful. I am ready!” And the universe heard.

 Over the next 3 weeks, I lost my home, a significant romantic relationship, two close friendships, my co-parenting arrangement, and a full-time client. More clearing- ugh!

Around that time, I started tapping into a community of conscious creators. Supporting and being supported by these creative, conscious, and leveled-up folks helped me to emerge from the darkness and have several profound realizations that got me here.  

I had been so fixated on clearing out the past, and swimming around in the shadows that I didn’t have time for the creation. I also realized that I couldn’t wait around to be fully “empty” or “perfected”- “the time to step into my magic is now!”

And so I did! From that shifted mindset, Open Space Design quadrupled its impact and profit in two months and profit in 2 months, On Purpose Coaching and On Purpose Collective have emerged, a magical retreat is about to be announced, as well as a surprise offering that I will share over time. 

The founding belief behind On Purpose Coaching and Collective is that you have unique magic that you’re here to create in the world. Maybe you know exactly what it is, and maybe you don’t. Most of us spend the majority of our lives waiting for the “right” time to step into it. But you don’t need to wait any longer! 

You could go at it alone, struggling and fighting the way that I did! But why not get the support and community that you deserve (and do it all much faster!) 

On Purpose Coaching and Collective is here to support you with community, coaching, and other services, to step fully into your unique magic, with the backing of the collective, to manifest whatever you are here to create! Don’t wait another day to make a big impact and step into your happiest, most vibrant, financially abundant, joyful, aligned and embodied self.

I do things differently.

I use a combo of intuition, strategy, and play to support you in getting connected to your inner wisdom and getting where you’re trying to go. I have formal training as a mindfulness instructor, Somatica Sex and Relationship coach, and I am also a practiced licensed social worker. I have several advanced degrees from Harvard (in case you are into that). I have worked as a business coach and consultant, as well as business manager and sales director for 10 years. I have worked with small businesses, creatives, start-ups, mission-driven organizations, and entrepreneurs. I have a LOT of energy and experience with businesses, humans, and hearts. I like to get to know my clients and explore together what is needed. I am not a specialist in marketing, sales, or social media. Instead, I am more like a partner in business or life. I support you by getting in it (whatever it is!) with you and not leaving your side until you’ve arrived where you are meant to be.
