Miranda Wise
Life Reclamation Coach

Meet Miranda
A decade ago I would have never guessed I’d now be helping others reclaim their lives and authentic selves.
In 2010, less than two years after graduating college, I burned out in my first career as a copywriter working in advertising agencies.
​
For the next five years, I went to therapy. Though I learned the basics of identifying and sitting with my feelings, I remained unaware of the trauma I carried from growing up in a dysfunctional broken home.
During this time I also started my second career in professional organizing. There was a huge gap between who I wanted to be and the life I wanted to have, and the way things were.
I believed the perfect time management system and “beating procrastination” was most of the answer. For years, I researched and tried everything. I focused my professional development education on productivity, which was often connected to working with ADHD clients.
Though I’d been diagnosed with ADHD in first grade, I didn’t believe I “really had” it. Yet I noticed a lot of what I was learning worked well for me. In 2015, I started specializing in chronic disorganization and productivity.
I also got married and moved in 2015, which was the first push to step into my power as a self-healer.
I learned how to manage my inner critic and change unwanted patterns in my life by creating my own methodology that combines mindset + parts work. Over time, I deepened my ability to become un-overwhelmed, change existing habits, and prioritize with more inner peace.
​
New motherhood and moving again brought new opportunities for growth. I got more clear on my core life desires and values. This led me to learning about childhood trauma and reprocessing it with a new trauma-informed therapist.


That education and healing work was beyond a paradigm shift for me.
This also helped me finally see how ADHD had been affecting me. I felt a call to work with people who were ready to make deep, lasting change that honored their authentic selves.
​
I pivoted away from seeing organizing clients in person to trauma-informed coaching for fellow childhood trauma survivors who also have, or relate to, the challenges of ADHD.
​
When I’m not working, you can find me playing board games, making music and dancing with my daughter and husband, and having fun outdoors in Madison, Wisconsin.
