Hidden Gems: Meet Briyanna Releford of Yanna Self Discovery Coaching

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Briyanna Releford.

Hi Briyanna, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey began in a place of uncertainty and self-discovery, where I often felt lost and disconnected from my true self.

Struggling to find direction and purpose, I explored ways to align my values with my actions. A significant shift occurred when I embraced a more authentic way of living, engaging in mindfulness practices and deep reflection. This transformative experience ignited a profound desire to help others achieve the same clarity and fulfillment.

Driven by this passion, I pursued formal training and certification in life coaching. My background as a mental health advocate and personal challenges have enriched my coaching approach, allowing me to offer a compassionate and insightful perspective. After relocating from Atlanta to Charlotte recently, I am building my local clientele from scratch.

My mission is to support individuals in uncovering their purpose, embracing their true selves, and setting goals that resonate with their deepest values. Witnessing each client’s progress and success reaffirms my commitment to facilitating meaningful personal transformation.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
One of the biggest struggles I faced was managing the fear of failure and the pressure to succeed, especially when dealing with setbacks like financial constraints and finding clients. Each challenge tested my resolve and commitment to my chosen path.

Juggling multiple roles, from handling the practical aspects of setting up a business to maintaining a work-life balance, required careful planning, resilience, and perseverance. Throughout these challenges, maintaining self-care and managing my mental well-being was crucial, as it was essential to practice what I preach and stay grounded while supporting others through their struggles.

Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about Yanna Self Discovery Coaching?
At Yanna’s Self Discovery Coaching, I provide personalized, holistic support that addresses both the goals clients aim to achieve and the core values and emotions guiding their decisions.

My commitment is to facilitate meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and empathetic environment. I’m especially proud of the Self Discovery E-Workbook, a cornerstone of my coaching programs. This resource is designed to help individuals explore their values, set meaningful goals, and create actionable plans, adding tremendous value to their journey of self-discovery.

My coaching services include three distinct programs tailored to different aspects of personal development. The Clarity Quest Program helps those feeling lost by offering an initial assessment, weekly one-on-one sessions, and a Personalized Clarity Workbook to develop a clear action plan. The Authentic Living Journey focuses on embracing one’s true self through bi-weekly sessions, an Authenticity Toolkit, and access to a supportive community.

Lastly, the Purposeful Pathway Program is a comprehensive 4-month journey that includes a Purpose Discovery Session, weekly coaching, and a Purposeful Living Blueprint, designed to help clients identify and pursue their life purpose with clarity and determination. What sets my programs apart is my combination of personal experience and professional expertise, providing a deeply empathetic and practical approach to addressing both surface-level goals and underlying values.

In addition to one-on-one coaching, I host community events to foster authentic living and mindfulness, such as the recent “Journaling in the Park” event in Atlanta. I’m excited to host upcoming events in Charlotte. My inaugural event is scheduled for August 3rd—”One Saturday Morning” dedicated to painting and journaling in the park of Mint Musuem-Randolph. I’m excited about the turnout and community creativity.

Before we let you go, we have to ask if you have any advice for those just starting.
When embarking on a journey of life transformation, it’s crucial to approach the process with patience and self-compassion.

Transformation is a gradual process, and recognizing the value of each small step is essential. Rather than focusing solely on reaching a specific goal or destination, embrace the journey with an open mind and heart. Every experience, whether it feels like a success or a setback, is a valuable part of your growth and learning.

Staying open to new insights and perspectives is also key. Life transformation often involves discovering new aspects of yourself, so remain curious and willing to explore various approaches. Seek resources such as books, workshops, or coaching to support your journey.

Additionally, cultivating a support system of mentors, coaches, or a community of like-minded individuals can provide invaluable encouragement and perspective. Embrace this path with openness and patience, knowing each step brings you closer to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
