Today we’d like to introduce you to David Reichard.
David, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I grew up in a home where shame ruled everything — the kind of shame that teaches you to stay small, to silence your feelings before they even have words. I learned early that expressing myself came with a cost. So I became good at reading the room, studying what people wanted from me, and performing the version of myself that felt safest.
For years, I lived in performance mode: saying yes when my heart said no, meeting the expectations of others that never quite felt like mine. From the outside, everything looked fine, but “fine” isn’t fulfillment. I learned how to run from my problems and start again only to discover I was in another familiar place in performance mode trying to be acceptable to all! I was miserable!!! My turning point came in a season of deep reflection, after many failed relationships — when I realized how far I’d drifted from my own rhythm.
That’s where Seasons of Life Coaching began.
It started with a simple belief: we all move through seasons — times of growth, release, stillness, and renewal. When we stop fighting those cycles and start observing and listening to them, life opens up and we can be free to be who we were meant to be.
Now, I help others navigate their own transitions with clarity and compassion. My work blends holistic practices and grounded coaching — not quick fixes or clichés, but real conversations that help people find balance in the midst of change.
Every session, every reflection, is a chance to help someone remember who they are beneath the noise of the everyday — and live from that place of truth again.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There were times that I felt things were smooth and going fine, but eventually the road got bumpy and was filled with potholes and obstacles. I grew weary of trying to pretend…
For years, I wore that mask so well I almost forgot it wasn’t me. Each new setting meant a new role — one for friends, one for family, one for work — all pieces that never quite fit together. Inside, I was fragmented, disconnected from my own truth.
It took a long time, and a lot of undoing, to return to myself. Coaching, reflection, and honest self-work helped me finally meet the parts of me I’d hidden for so long. Now, I live from a place of authenticity — imperfect, but free.
That’s why I do what I do today. I help others shed the layers they’ve worn for survival and find the rhythm of who they really are. Because the moment we stop performing and start belonging to ourselves — that’s where transformation begins.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
As a Life Coach I help people navigate life transitions — those in-between seasons when the old ways no longer fit and the new ones haven’t quite taken shape. My work centers on helping clients reconnect with their own rhythm through holistic coaching that integrates reflection, emotional awareness, and presence.
In practice, that means creating a space where people can slow down, listen inward, and realign with what’s true for them. I work with professionals and creatives who feel stuck, restless, or misaligned — people who are ready for a more authentic way of living and leading their lives.
My speciality is in major life transitions that call for self-redefinition — times of change like career shifts, divorce, burnout, or identity realignment. My focus is the pause — that uncertain muddled middle ground most people rush through. I help clients use that space not as something to escape, but as a season of reflection, growth and renewal.
I’m known for bringing grounded presence to my work. My clients often tell me they feel seen and heard and they appreciate my support and insights. My language is reflective and story-driven — I use imagery and rhythm to help people access meaning in what they’re experiencing.
I don’t promise quick transformation or performative positivity. I offer honest, real conversations that help people come home to themselves.
What makes my coaching different is that I bridge story and soul. I don’t just help people set goals — I help them live in alignment with who they truly are. My approach blends holistic awareness of mind, body, soul and emotion with the structure of coaching. It’s reflective, restorative, and deeply human.
I guide clients to change not just what they do, but how they inhabit themselves. It’s coaching that restores authenticity — not performance.
I’m most proud that I’ve turned my own history of shame and self-silencing into a space where others can feel safe to be seen. I know what it’s like to hide who you are to stay acceptable — and I know the freedom that comes with no longer needing to. There is a huge weight that gets lifted off when you can figure this out and a tremendous amount of happiness that comes flooding in when you learn to live in alignment with your true self and purpose.
My work is a reflection of that journey. I’ve built a coaching practice that values truth over perfection, wholeness over hustle. I live what I teach — moving at my own rhythm, trusting that alignment is something we return to again and again.
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is living — and helping others live — in alignment with truth… their truth.
Not the kind of truth that demands perfection or performance, but the quiet, honest kind that comes from deep within us.
For much of my life, I shaped myself around what others expected of me. I learned to fit in, to stay small, to please. It took years to realize that belonging isn’t something you earn by being acceptable — it’s something you remember by being authentic.
Now, everything I do — in coaching and in life — is rooted in that understanding. What matters to me is helping people return to themselves: to the parts they’ve hidden, silenced, or outgrown. I care deeply about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be real — where they can exhale, listen to what’s stirring inside, and trust that it’s leading them somewhere meaningful and fulfilling.
Because I know what it’s like to live disconnected from yourself. And I know the peace that comes when you stop performing and finally allow yourself to belong to your own life.
That’s what matters most to me — truth, presence, and the courage to live as who we really are at our core and be in alignment with who we are meant to be!
