Meet Your Coach
Lifestyle Design & Transformation Specialist
Meet Monica McCown, the life coach who once thought she was destined to join the ranks of the eternally miserable. But a decade ago, she had an "aha" moment: life doesn’t have to be a rollercoaster of stress and dissatisfaction. Armed with a degree in psychology and a keen sense of humor, Monica decided to get a certification in professional life coaching and straighten out her own life—and then made it her mission to help others do the same.
As the brains behind Straighten Out Your Life, Monica isn’t just about giving pep talks and cheerleading (though she’s great at that, too). She’s developed the Make It So Method, a holistic approach to lifestyle design that’s as practical as it is profound. Monica helps clients navigate the tricky maze of self-awareness, aligning their lives with what truly matters—because, let’s face it, we all get a little lost sometimes.
Her expertise spans from stress management and work-life balance to mindset shifts and leadership development. But here’s the kicker: Monica’s not about making sweeping changes that leave you gasping for breath. Instead, she’s all about the slow, steady tweaks that add up to big, beautiful transformations. Think of her as your personal GPS, rerouting you gently and efficiently towards a life of harmony and fulfillment.
In her free time (yes, she actually has some!), Monica channels her passion for community development as Vice President of the Orlando Hospitality Alliance. She’s also a proud Mensa member, which she likes to downplay—unless she’s beating you at trivia night.
Monica’s journey from self-professed misery to mastery of lifestyle design isn’t just inspiring; it’s downright relatable. If you’re ready to get unstuck, turn your life around, or simply add a bit of sparkle to your everyday routine, Monica’s here to guide you every step of the way.
Embark on a journey with Straighten Out Your Life and discover the power of a well-designed life. Reach out to Monica today—because everyone deserves a shot at a life that’s as unique and joyful as they are.
What I Do
Ever had one of those days where you look around and think, “Is everyone miserable, or is it just me?” About ten years ago, I had that epiphany. It dawned on me that life doesn’t have to be this way, and I decided to embark on a mission to straighten out my life—and help others do the same.
Straighten Out Your Life isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a holistic approach to enhancing every nook and cranny of your existence. We’re talking about material improvements across the board—because let’s face it, everything is interconnected. A boost in your career can sprinkle magic on your relationships, and a tweak in your health can make your financial worries vanish (well, sort of).
The magic formula? Knowing what you really want. It sounds simple, but thanks to a lifetime of unconscious programming, most of us are clueless about what truly makes us tick. That’s where I step in. I guide you through a journey of self-discovery, helping you unearth what you genuinely desire and crafting a life that brings you joy, stability, and fulfillment.
But hold your horses; we’re not about drastic overhauls here. Change is a tricky beast, and our bodies and minds prefer a gentle nudge rather than a shove. I help you develop systems to introduce changes incrementally and sustainably, ensuring that your success is not just a flash in the pan but a long-lasting glow.
Whether you’re a young whippersnapper fresh out of college, looking to design your dream life from the get-go, or you’re navigating the choppy waters of a career change or breakup, I’ve got your back. My specialty lies in helping people turn their lives around—without the need for a dramatic blow-up.
My mission? To decrease human misery one lifestyle transformation at a time. By fostering self-awareness and holistic lifestyle design, I aim to support your transitions and transformations, guiding you to a life that’s not just straightened out but perfectly aligned with your deepest desires.
So, are you ready to ditch the misery and embrace a life that’s uniquely yours? Let’s get started on straightening out your life, together.​
