"The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step." Lao Tzo


ABOUT ME
I believe the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.
And the relationship you have with yourself is the foundation for every relationship you have.
I'm Odette Coronel, a Relationship & Life Coach, Accredited Professional Coach, Coach Supervisor, NLP Practitioner, and host of Life & Love by Design.
I help women and couples create more connection, intimacy, communication, and partnership at home and within themselves.
Let's Get Personal
I've been married to my husband for more than 25 years.
We met when we were young, grew up together, built a business together, raised three children, and navigated all the beautiful, complicated, challenging seasons that come with building a life with another person.
I've learned that long-term love isn't about getting everything right.
It's about learning how to grow together when life changes you both.
And I've experienced firsthand how easy it is to get caught up in the roles we play....
wife, mother, business owner, caregiver, daughter, friend...
and forget to make room for the woman underneath all of those roles.
That understanding is at the heart of the way I coach.
MY APPROACH
My coaching blends professional coaching, relational intelligence, NLP, Gottman Method principles, and evidence-based practices to help you create meaningful change.
I don't believe in giving you a list of things you "should" do.
I believe in helping you understand why you're doing what you're doing, what is and isn't working, and what you want to create instead.
We'll work together to help you:
-
Break free from patterns that keep creating the same relationship problems
-
Reconnect with yourself, your needs, values, and desires
-
Communicate with greater clarity and confidence
-
Create deeper emotional intimacy and connection
-
Establish healthier boundaries
-
Stop overfunctioning, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in your relationships
-
Get clear about what you want and intentionally create it
Ultimately, this work is about choice.
You may not be able to control another person's behavior....
But you can change how you show up, what you participate in, and what you choose moving forward.
And that can change everything.

Whether it’s breaking old patterns, setting healthy boundaries, reigniting passion, or building self-worth... they walk away with clarity, confidence, and connection from the inside out.
LIFE and LOVE BY DESIGN
I created my podcast, Life and Love by Design, because I believe we have far more agency in our lives and relationships than we sometimes realize.
Through the podcast, speaking, and coaching, I explore the real conversations many of us are having behind closed doors...
love, marriage, communication, intimacy, identity, personal growth, and the patterns that quietly shape our lives.
My goal isn't to tell you how to live.
It's to help you think differently about the life and relationships you're creating.
I ALSO WORK WITH COACHES
As a Coach Supervisor, I support coaches who want to deepen their practice, become more reflective and self-aware, and serve their clients with greater integrity, presence, and compassion.
Because I believe that who we are as coaches matters just as much as what we know.

YOUR LIFE IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LIVE ON AUTOPILOT
And your relationships are too important to simply hope they'll get better on their own.
You deserve relationships where you feel seen, heard, connected, loved, and fully yourself.
You deserve a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
You don't have to become a different person.
You don't have to have everything figured out.
You simply have to be willing to get curious, get honest, and decide that you're ready for something different.
You get to design your life.
You get to design your relationships.
And you get to decide what comes next.
I'd be honored to help you create it.
