Caregiver Coaching BH Coaching Benita Hampton

Caregiver and Life Coach

Hey there, come on in! 

              I saved a seat for you

Isn’t it just the best feeling when you hear those magical words, “I saved a seat for you”? You experience this flood of sweet emotions: acceptance, caring, friendship, kindness and belonging just to name a few.


I help women tap into their potential, unpack their dreams that have been hidden away for too long, and guide them towards a well balanced and more satisfying life.


It’s easy for women that are caregivers to their aging loved ones to get a little (or a lot) sidetracked and lose sight of their own identity.


Do you remember that girl that used to laugh and dream big dreams? The one that people looked up to because she was daring and brave and confident? Let’s go get her. She’s still there, and she’s been waiting too long for her day in the sun. I know it seems scary, but I promise you can do this. 


You’ve got nothing to lose, but a whole world to gain.

 I’ll be here when you’re ready, 

saving a seat just for YOU!

-Benita

You Are Not Alone


Maybe you're not sure where you want to go, but you know you don't want to be where you are

Maybe you're tired of wanting change, but you just don't know how to get there

Maybe you are ready to take on a major life challenge, but you need some guidance to make sure you're on track

Maybe you need to make yourself a priority again

Does any of that sound familiar?

I get it. I hear you.

I've been there too.

I want you to know that you are not alone and I need you to know that you are a big deal

and I am so very proud of you for showing up.  

It is not easy to look any of these emotions in the eye, but you are doing just that.  

And that, my friend, takes a massive amount of courage.


Ready to go find that girl with the big dreams?

Yes, Let's Go!

A word from one of my beautiful clients, Staci

I'll be honest, I didn't really even know what a Life Coach was until a friend of mine suggest I reach out for help after a long term relationship ended and I found myself facing brand new challenges.  I will never be without a coach again! Working with Benita was an amazing process. I learned things about myself that I never knew.  I learned that I am made to do hard things because life has made me so much stronger than I realized I was.  It was Benita that helped me realize that.  All of the positive changes in my life were so obvious to those around me that I even referred my sister to Benita and now I am seeing amazing changes in her.  If you are waiting for a sign, then this is it.  You owe it to yourself.  Book the free consultation!

Why a life coach?

I have always envisioned myself as a teacher, since I was a young child.  As I grew older, I found that I was that one friend that people gravitated to for advice, feedback and validation.  I have a straight-talk philosophy and a passion for motivating and working with others to bring about positive changes in their lives.  During college was when I realized that a life coach incorporated all of the things that I loved and excelled at; teaching, mentoring, coaching, leading, advocating & being a catalyst to change.  I remember when I had a conversation with my Dad about being a life coach, he (being a straight-talk kind of a man) said "Benita, you have been talking about creating "balance" in life since you were a child, you don't know it, but you've been a life coach your entire life".  That conversation with Dad helped me gain the confidence that I needed to move the needle forward.  I have received formal training in several areas of life coaching, and finally received my Master Life Coach certification which was my passion project.  That experience served as not just a learning experience for me, but also acted as validation that this is the path that was intended for me.  I truly cannot imagine doing anything else.




Why a caregiver coach?

My grandma (and name-sake, by the way) passed away due to complications from Alzheimer's disease 20 years ago. My mom was her primary caregiver. I saw the toll that caring for grandma took on my sweet mama.  Back then, there just weren't many resources available for us to tap into, so we did what every other family did, we made due with what we had and we learned by trial and error. Lots and lots of trial and error. I knew there had to be a better way. There had to be someone out there that could guide us and offer us some peace of mind. Someone that had been through this before and could lock arms with us and offer us some advice.  Sadly, we never found that person.

That experience was the catalyst that pushed me toward a career in senior care.  In short, I wanted to do better than the status quo of the industry.  I needed to do better, I needed to show up for these families that needed that guide that we needed so long ago.  That's how it all started.


My Experience

I'm a Certified Master Life Coach, Cognitive Behavioral Coach and Dementia Practitioner.  Additionally, I hold several other coaching certifications that allow me to focus on specialties such as successful goal setting, finding joy and identifying and following your life purpose.    


With 15 years of senior care operations experience under my belt I have witnessed, first hand, the challenges that women face while caring for their aging loved ones.  This led me to dedicate my career to helping women lean into difficult change and move through it in a healthy, purposeful and fulfilling way. 


During my career in the senior care industry, I have held such roles as Executive Director and Regional Director of Operations and have managed multi-million dollar care portfolios.  Since walking away from the corporate life and choosing to coach, consult and educate full time, I fine tuned my coaching practice to focus on Caregiver Coaching.  Actually, I am affectionately known as The Caregiver Coach because my practice was initially launched as a coaching resource for women that provide care for their aging loved ones.  


However, I soon found that I was excluding an entire group of women!  


We are all "caregivers" aren't we? We often put the needs of our significant others, our kiddos, parents, co-workers, employees, and our friends first. After we are done "caring" for their needs, we are running on empty and there's very little time and energy left for looking after ourselves, am I right?


So, I broadened the scope of my practice and now focus on helping women, period.  Not just those that care for an aging loved one, but all women, from diverse backgrounds, and from all walks of life.  Women just like you that may be going through a season of change, or growth, loss or transition.

But who's the lady behind the "coach" title?

I'm a mama, a fiancé, a friend, a lifelong learner, and a lover of animals, books, writing, music, travel, and great food. I love creating in the kitchen, home organization, natural skin care, finding a super good deal and spending time with family and friends.  Getting away to the beach to soak up some vitamin sea is how I recharge my batteries when I'm running low (because self care is NOT selfish).  Yoga, meditation and essential oils are necessities for me and I adore exploring new places.   I have the amazing ability to fall while walking UP stairs, and I dance around my office to boy band music when I need an attitude adjustment.  I still pick up my phone to call my Mom or Dad at least once or twice a week even though they have both been gone for several years.  Helping women set and smash their goals is an obsession of mine.  Honesty and loyalty are my love languages.  Oh yeah, and leggings, going barefoot and pedicures are some of my favorite things ever. 

My Mission
To reach women and show them their potential to achieve a balanced life and help them show up for themselves, unpack their dreams, lean into change and start living their biggest life.

My Vision
A world where no woman has to needlessly suffer, feel alone, trade her quality of life or happiness for someone else's while caring for her spouse, parent or other aging loved one.  I want to show women that they don't have to choose, they can have both.

About my coaching style...

Benita, thank you so much for the training session today. I have been to many sessions, and today's presentation was the most useful I have ever attended. You addressed issues we are concerned about, gave wonderful practical suggestions, and kept it informal and light. You have a wonderful technique for getting people involved and comfortable asking questions."
