I've Been Where You Are—And I Know How It Feels.
I wasn’t always happy, passionate, and excited about life. Far from it.
At 23, my life changed overnight. A hand injury left me permenantly disabled, unable to work 99.9% of jobs, and staring at a future that felt like a dead end. But even before that, I was lost. I didn’t love or even like life that much. I felt like I was just going through the motions—working a career that didn’t inspire me, waiting for the weekend, and counting down the days until my two weeks of vacation.
- I know what it’s like to wake up every morning feeling like nothing will ever change
- I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a job that drains you, working for someone else’s dreams instead of your own.
- I know what it’s like to feel like you’re just existing, not living—like every day is a repeat, and your goals and dreams feel out of reach.
- I know what it’s like to feel like you’re wasting your potential, but not knowing how to tap into it.
- I know what it’s like to feel like you’re drifting through life without a clear direction, passion, or purpose.
I was floundering, stuck in a cycle of monotony and self-doubt, wondering if I’d ever find my way.
But here’s the thing: I didn’t stay there.
I was thrown into entrepreneurship out of necessity—a reluctant entrepreneur with no idea what I was doing. But through trial, error, and a lot of hard lessons, I discovered something life-changing: confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build. And mindset along with intentional action is the key to creating the life you want.
I learned how to boldly own my worth, and create success on my own terms. And now, I’ve made it my mission to help you do the same.
If you’re feeling stuck, uninspired, or unsure of your next step, I want you to know this: You’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to stay there.
Together, we’ll pave a new path—one where you feel confident, empowered, and ready to take on the world.
CONFIDENCE ISÂ ESSENTIALÂ & ANCESTRAL
Having confidence provides an evolutionary edge. It helps us navigate mental, emotional, and physical challenges, as well as social situations, with courage over fear—propelling us toward materializing our goals and dreams.
Confidence wasn’t optional for our hunter-gatherer ancestors—it was essential for survival. Their world was brutal, unpredictable, and relentless. Picture this: after days of tracking prey, they come up empty-handed. Or they finally find water, only to discover it’s undrinkable. Could they afford to wallow in self-pity or label themselves failures? Absolutely not. They didn’t dwell on setbacks; they regrouped, adapted, and pushed forward. Every challenge was met with resilience, every obstacle a lesson to refine their approach. Survival depended on their ability to act with purpose, accept unfavorable outcomes, and keep moving toward the next opportunity.
True confidence, like that of our ancestors, means seeing challenges as only feedback, not failure, and taking action despite setbacks.
After coaching people all over the world for a decade, I can tell you that wealth, success, and notoriety don’t make people confident. Great parenting doesn’t do it either. Confidence must be generated from within.
And watch out—don’t let someone’s career title or income fool you into thinking they’re confident. You can appear confident on the outside while being an insecure people-pleaser on the inside. We often mistake extroverted, forceful personalities for true confidence, leading to poor judgments—like choosing the wrong mate or business partner.
The truth is, everyone has areas of their life that need more self-esteem and confidence. You can be a badass boss with wealth but lack confidence in personal or romantic relationships. You might excel in certain skills yet struggle to speak up or set boundaries in other areas of life.
Sometimes, the most confident person in the room is the quietest. Confidence isn’t always loud; it can be calm, steady, and unshakable. Don’t let reserved personalities or silence fool you into thinking someone lacks confidence. True confidence is an inner strength—one that you can cultivate, no matter where you start.
"Elle has vast knowledge in the area of confidence and she provided excellent direction on how to approach uncomfortable situation in a practical and effective way and I was able to apply the principles learned in real-life applocations. This was definitely one of the best investments I have ever made. I must say this was life-changing.
-Â B.D.
"Elle is amazing! I had a book idea in my head for about two years and Elle helped me get it from 0 to 30,000 words in just a couple of months! She also shared a ton of information about publishing and online presence which was invaluable. She basically taught me everything I wanted to know about getting a book out there. I highly recommend hiring her as a coach!"
-Â JULIE
"I hired Elle as a coach to help me write a eBook and course. Best decision ever! I had been mulling over an idea and could not find a way to structure it that made sense and Elle's expertise and accountability combined with her no-nonsense approach was the perfect combination. Highly recommend!"
-Â JANICE
"Elle Russ cuts through all the superficial noise and digs deep in this program. She helped me to connect the dots on the deeper reasons for my confidence issues and she effectively pinpointed the specific areas I needed to address."
-Â APRIL
"Elle has radically transformed my life. If you are on the fence, do it. Elle knows WTF she is talking about and she CAN help you."
-Â BRITTANY
"Elle as a coach is an island of encouragement in a sea of people who will crap on your dreams. But if you have Elle in your corner I believe you can achieve anything because I had a massive 180-degree change in my life."

What Sets Me Apart
- Master Coach: With over 2,500 hours of client coaching, I’ve worked with entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, creatives, athletes, and all kinds of people navigating major life transitions. I know how to meet my clients where they are and guide them toward meaningful results.
- Life Experience: I was born in 1973 and have lived through the kind of ups and downs that only time and experience can teach. I’ve seen trends come and go, careers rise and fall, and life throw curveballs that no one could predict. I’ve been the new kid, the underdog, the one who didn’t have it all figured out—and I’ve also been the one who learned how to rise, adapt, and thrive. Age isn’t just a number; it’s a collection of hard-earned lessons, moments of clarity, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from living through the messy, beautiful, unpredictable journey of life. I’ve been around the block enough times to know what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to create a life that’s not just lived, but truly felt.
- Philosophy Degree: My degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, gave me the tools to think broadly, critically, and brainstorm a variety of solutions to complex problems—skills that are directly woven into my coaching.
- Early Coaching Roots: In 1996, while working in the corporate world in San Francisco, I became certified by the Shanti Project, a nonprofit dedicated to building one-on-one connections to reduce isolation and suffering. As a peer volunteer, I provided compassionate 1:1 support for individuals facing illness and hardship—a role that planted the seeds for my future in coaching.
- Proven Impact: My clients often tell me they feel better and more excited about their future from the very first session. That’s because I don’t just coach; I also help people examine and reframe their mindset and take bold steps forward.
- A Life I’m Proud Of: I’ve built a life that’s not only successful but deeply fulfilling. I’m surrounded by a loving relationship, an incredible tribe of friends, and a career that brings me joy.Â
Coaching VS. Therapy
Therapy and coaching are two unique paths to growth and both powerful tools for personal development, but they take different approaches. Therapy often focuses on understanding and healing the past, providing deep emotional support, and addressing mental health challenges.Â
As a coach, I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. While I do address your past, I focus more on empowering you with tools and practices to cultivate confidence and actionable momentum. If you are looking for intentional practices, mindset shifts, and actions to move forward, coaching is the right fit for you.
I will guide you toward the life you truly want.

"I know Elle and her work very well. I trust her to assist my own high net worth clients in her areas. And that says everything. She awakens in her people their own inner sense of confidence. That is very different from coaches who simply display strength that their clients “mimic”. She brings it out from INSIDE of you, so it stays with YOU. I am a coach of Alpha women and I am an attorney. Elle is an Alpha who excels in her client’s defense. Whatever it is you need to be protected from, feel safe from, understand and unlock…she gives you that safe place. I’m honored to say I trust her and her work."

Mark Sisson

"Elle has framed her professional life into one dedicated to helping others—both healing and nourishing the physical body and also nurturing the spirit. She will help you help yourself, but you are going to have to do the hard work and the deep reflection. Elle is not about subtlety, soft touches, or nuance. She is dedicated to excellence, transformation, and never looking back, feeling sorry for herself, or turning away from a challenge!"

Arriane Alexander
Life & Business Coach
"I've been a Professional Life and Business Coach for over 20 years, and Elle is my go to Coach when I need my own boost of inspiration, advice, and feedback. She is a brilliant Coach and she's so smart at looking at things from a unique perspective. Elle gets curious and asks reflective questions to help me get unstuck, and then gives me great feedback on next steps. Elle is the best. She knows exactly how to support you! Her combination of business smarts, spiritual perspective, common sense, and expertise in bringing levity and fun into every situation makes her an awesome Coach and asset to anyone who hires her."
