From chaos to calm. From grasping control to a life created on purpose.
You’ve already lived, built, and maybe—like me—even burned a few things down.
You don’t need a fresh start. You need a way that meets you exactly where you are, helping you rise with grounded direction, and calm.
There comes a point when clarity doesn’t look like a plan.
It’s releasing of what used to work, for who you are truly meant to become.
No more old patterns, grasping control, or forcing a life—instead, intentionally and creatively shaping the one you envision.
I’m Rhona McBain.
Speaker. Coach. Former university professor and administrator. Lifelong creative.
A woman who has rebuilt her entire life from the inside out.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped people articulate their truth—
not just with their voice, but with their presence, their movement, and the way they live.
My work isn’t born from theory.
It’s shaped by grief, reinvention, nervous system collapse, and the deep clarity that followed.
After losing my husband to ALS, my mother to cancer, and the identity I had carefully built,
I faced a choice: keep forcing forward… or pause long enough to create what was genuinely next.
I chose to understand the pause.
That’s what I offer now:
The language. The mirror. The tools. The calm.
To help you build what’s next—on purpose.
You are capable. Highly self-aware. Often the one others count on. You’ve held it all together, but something inside is shifting. You want more than productivity—you want alignment.
This work is for you if you’re:
✔ Navigating burnout, visibility, or identity shifts
✔ Standing at a personal or professional inflection point
✔ Sitting inside a quiet moment of “what now?”
My purpose is to share a lived path. To offer you the language, the mirror, the tools, and the space to create your own.
