Lift as You Climb Coaching, founded by Kate Juozaitis, aims to help women take control of their lives by empowering them to make confident, decisive actions. With nearly 20 years of experience as a personal growth Clini-coach, Kate combines therapeutic expertise with a coaching approach, guiding women through their most complex and intimate challenges. Whether setting and achieving personal goals, building confidence, or navigating significant life transitions, Lift as You Climb Coaching is dedicated to ensuring that no woman is left behind in her journey toward self-fulfillment.

Kate’s journey to founding Lift as You Climb Coaching is rooted in a lifetime of helping others. From volunteering at the American Cancer Society as a young girl to becoming a firefighter and paramedic before finishing high school, Kate’s passion for assisting others has been a driving force throughout her life. Her career in mental health therapy, personal development coaching, and mediation has further solidified her commitment to guiding people through life’s most challenging moments, and her experience as a first responder has shaped her approach to coaching.

“I still work from my mentality of leaving no person behind from my old firehouse days,” Kate says. “Being a first responder forever changed me and instilled my desire to help others. I’ve seen and helped people in many tragic scenarios and held their hands through it all.”

Empowering Women to Achieve Their Personal Goals

Too many women remain stuck in situations that no longer serve them due to fear, self-doubt, and societal pressures. While relationships often play a significant role in these challenges, personal growth extends beyond romantic or familial ties. Kate emphasizes that women usually feel responsible for meeting the expectations of others, a burden that can prevent them from pursuing their true passions and goals. However, she reminds her clients that they have the power to take charge of their lives and create the future they desire.

“My grandmother used to tell me, ‘You only hurt the ones that you love because you can, you know how, and most importantly because you hold their hands until you are both right again,'” Kate shares. “Unfortunately, too many people don’t do that last part.”

Understanding these dynamics, Lift as You Climb Coaching is designed to help women navigate complex personal landscapes and make decisions that lead to healthier, more fulfilling lives. The 6-week coaching program offers personalized support, tools, and guidance to help women gain clarity, take action, and rise to their fullest potential—not just in relationships but in all areas of their lives.

The Cost of Staying in a Dead-End Situation

Kate also highlights the financial and emotional costs of staying in situations that aren’t working, whether it’s a stagnant career, unproductive habits, or unmet personal aspirations. Often, women invest significant time and resources in others, neglecting their needs and goals. This imbalance can lead to feelings of frustration, burnout, and dissatisfaction, which, over time, take a toll on overall well-being.

“These issues can be reduced by being mindful and engaged in your personal development, investing in yourself regularly, not just during times of crisis,” Kate advises.

Lift as You Climb Coaching helps clients avoid the financial and emotional toll of unfulfilled potential by offering a coaching program that encourages women to take proactive steps in their personal development. The program is tailored to meet each woman where she is, providing the support and tools necessary to create lasting change and achieve meaningful personal growth.

A Unique Approach to Coaching

Kate’s coaching style is characterized by her direct, no-nonsense approach, which is informed by her extensive experience in psychology and her background as a first responder. She is known for her honesty, confidence, and ability to push her clients toward growth while maintaining a compassionate and supportive environment. This approach resonates particularly well with women seeking to build confidence and assert their value in various aspects of life.

“I’m feisty and confident AF,” Kate says with a laugh. “You won’t forget me if you meet me. I’m the sunshine on a cloudy day, and you will love me because I’m honest and upfront. You always know where you stand with me.”

In addition to her work as a coach, Kate has been a powerlifter, competitive ax thrower, and reality TV show competitor. She lives life to the fullest and brings that same energy to her coaching, inspiring her clients to embrace their own power and potential. Whether facing a career transition, personal challenge, or simply seeking to unlock new levels of self-confidence, Kate’s coaching provides the tools and support needed to succeed.
