My name is Lynn Ely and I facilitate moms achieving fulfillment in all areas of their lives.  I hold a Masters Degree in Training and Development, and have served as the Director of Human Resources in a variety of business environments, including manufacturing, health care, and corporate real estate.  I am trained as a Life Empowerment Coach through the Institute for Professional Empowerment Excellence in Coaching, and as both a Career Coach and Purposeful Entrepreneur Coach through the Career Coach Institute.  About 8 years ago, I left a very successful 10 year career in Human Resource Management for a new career – being a full-time Mom, with the birth of our first daughter.  Since then, my husband and I have had another daughter, and our girls are now ages 8 and 5. As much as I absolutely loved the experience of staying home with my girls, I consistently found myself pulled in so many different directions and so busy taking care of everyone else’s needs, that I often felt I had lost sight of who I was and what I really wanted from life.

Once my youngest daughter began to attend Pre-K full-time, I decided to finally spend a little of my time thinking about me.  My kids were becoming more independent each day, so I wondered, “Where does that leave me?  Who am I?  Who do I want to become in this next phase of my life? ”I felt like I had lost touch with much of my “old, successful, career-self”, but wondered if I really wanted to be that same person again, or try something new – something that would really excite the person I am today.  By making the conscious choice to pursue becoming who I want to be, I have been able to combine the aspects of my HR career that I loved most - the helping people grow part - and combine it with both my “career experience” as a full-time Mom and my training as a Life Empowerment, Career, and Purposeful Entrepreneur coach, to create my dream job as founder of MomEvolve.  Through an openness toward self-awareness and personal development, I have successfully restored more balance in my life (and continue to work on it!) and freed up energy to focus on my own wants and needs.  The results have been phenomenal, for both myself and my family! Every day, I wake up excited, enthusiastic, and energized about the opportunities my day holds, both personally and professionally, and I have so much more than ever before to give and share with my family and others in my life!  I want to help other moms feel this way each day too! I know what it is like to feel that loss of self, and the loss of balance and lack of confidence that go along with it. I talk with so many moms who feel stressed out, run down, torn between what they feel they have to be and what they might actually like to become, unable for various reasons to pursue the choices that would allow them to “have it all”, and all the while, living with so much guilt over their completely normal and understandable feelings.  I also know how my own journey of increased self-awareness and renewed passion for all aspects of my life, have been life-transforming for me, as well as my entire family.

Through MomEvolve’s offerings, I help other moms restore balance in their own lives, so they can free up energy to discover & share their gifts, pursue their passions, and achieve their dreams!  I help moms evolve!
