Life’s Daring Adventure

That great big daring adventure that changes everything.

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” — Helen Keller

Whether your adventure is founding a company or raising a family, changing your life or changing the world — bold moves happen step by step, with deep reflection and quiet support.

A co-pilot for your success

A neutral partner, dedicated to where you’re going.

Whether your life’s daring adventure is founding a company or raising a family, changing your life or changing the world — bold moves happen step by step, requiring deep reflection and quiet support.

Coaching affords you a neutral partner, a co-pilot dedicated to your success. As a coach I specialise in supporting people who are stepping into their vision. I offer an integrative approach, starting by creating a safe space in which you can be honest and creative.

The greatest adventures are both an inner and an outer journey of discovery. I offer life coaching in preparation for, and then through, two parallel journeys — one inner path and one outer adventure. Daring to traverse your inner terrain, so that you can reach for your real-world dreams. There is the “who do I have to become to reach my goals,” and then there is the path you have to walk to get there.

Of course, great adventures require courage and creativity. They invite you to stretch yourself and grow beyond your expectations and limitations. This is the coach’s native habitat — where we roll up our sleeves and get down to work.

What we do together

From paralysis to momentum.

  • Get crystal clear on what you actually want — not what you think you should want.
  • Cultivate your gut instincts when there is no logical right path, and sometimes in spite of there being one.
  • Validate the messy, contradictory stuff, because humans are complex.
  • Tackle the nitty-gritty, unglamorous details.
  • Transform an idea into a daring new reality.

As your life coach, I help you navigate the maze of mindset and perspective traps that keep you bound, so you can emerge into the light of true personal freedom. I support you through the ambivalence and fear to a place where you can make honest and ethical choices. I keep you true to yourself while you set your objectives, and help you maintain momentum as you get rolling towards your goals.

From paralysis to momentum. From fantasy to flight. From “maybe someday” to “I’m actually doing this.”

About Monique
Portrait of life coach Monique Shefer

Hello, I’m Monique Shefer — a life coach who specialises in grand adventures and big moves, in every sense of the phrase. I’ve lived on three continents — from Johannesburg to London, London to California, and finally to a magical château in the South West of France, where my family and I landed in 2022. I believe life is meant to be an adventure — not in spite of our challenges, but often because of them.

As a coach, I help you develop clarity about your blocks, your potential, and your boldest next step. As a guide and teacher, I go deeper — offering resources and frameworks for self-awareness, spiritual development, homeschooling, and navigating life across borders. My expertise includes entrepreneurship, spiritual growth, health and healing, migration, and parenting neurodivergence.
