Yet, there were moments when a coach or mentor gave me support and helped guide me - this was invaluable. I experienced so much growth when I was encouraged to open the door and take the next step towards a new beginning into the unknown. When I found myself suddenly having to switch from a stay-at-home mom, to life as a working single mother, I had to rely on my faith; I also found a great coach and re-assessed what really mattered to me. I came to the realization that for many years I had given up on setting life or career goals because I was afraid of being disappointed. Blocking myself from dreaming had poisoned me with resentment and smoldered my spark. Besides my role as a parent, what was my purpose?
In the meantime, I met another single mom and without hesitation, offered to support her. I was thrilled when she got into a funded training program and then immediately landed a job. This mom also needed help setting up and managing resources for her neurodiverse child who was also autistic, which I gladly supported her with. I then began to see my own hopes, dreams and spark re-ignite. I didn’t know at the time that God was giving me a glimpse of my future as a career coach.

I then came across an online summit for Catholic moms and was hooked. Interview after interview, I saw these moms had such a positive outlook on life. They were excited and driven by a love of their faith and careers which were naturally interwoven; but what made it more inspiring was that these women were still able to make their families a priority. Really?! This was exactly what I wanted, to be a mom who was full of energy and life, working in a fulfilling career, surrounded by a community of faith-filled women, so that I could be a great role-model for my young family.

Donna L. Crombie
Career Specialist, Life Coach, Consultant, Writer & Mom
For the last 20+ years, I have coached and mentored youth and women, including providing peer support to infant loss moms and families who are neurodiverse and/or have children with autism. I have experience in small business, employment counselling, HR recruitment, job development and ministry work.
Along with career and life coaching, I enjoy collaborating with others, making connections and building community; facilitating faith-led workshops and mastermind groups; writing, and above all, spending time with my children and family as well as my friends.
As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to raise a family and manage a demanding work schedule. As a result of overcoming my own struggles, I feel a strong calling to serve by helping women to live an integrated life by pursuing purposeful careers, goal-setting and dreaming, yet making their faith and families a priority.

Learn how to put your goals and unique gifts and talents into action!
My passion is helping women explore their purpose, making career and life goals much clearer. In a changing economy, I discovered an effective strategy that far too often gets under utilized...and where true treasure can be found!
I coach women on how to tap into the hidden job market to find fulfilling work and identify their ideal career options.
When mothers are equipped with effective job search tools and skills to succeed, it impacts the entire family. Skill School training and mastermind includes how to manage emotions, holding people accountable, fostering a healthy mindset and managing critics are examples of the valuable life skills that can be passed on, so children learn to grow and thrive too!
I also have a heart to serve single moms who want to find more balance. My goal is to support women in achieving an integrated life, meaning balance in ALL areas - career, health, finances, friendships, faith and family life.
