What is Coaching?
Coaching is a tool that provides individualized or group ongoing support, planning, and useful feedback for clients to design and create a life they want and would love to live.
Coaching focuses on identifying patterns of behavior and mindset so that we can design an action plan that proactively achieves results. Coaching is not simply about offering advice or solutions; it goes beyond that. It involves active listening, non-judgment, understanding, and support that helps clients navigate through challenges and obstacles.
Our style of coaching is action-orientated. It holds you accountable for yourself with actions and not just words. The Holistic approach that KD Life Coaching offers goes beyond professional success. Meditation methods used help focus on personal fulfillment, meaningful relationships, and overall well-being. As a certified life & motivation coach, I specialize in empowering individuals to transform & improve their lives by overcoming personal and professional challenges.
My services are tailored to help clients tackle concerns like stress, resilience, anxiety, work-life balance, communication barriers, and relationship struggles. I also focus on boosting self-esteem, confidence, and time management, while guiding individuals on their growth journey. Along with corporate team building & public speaking.

Your Life Coach
My name is Kyka Drake (Coach KD). I am a certified life & motivation coach, entrepreneur, and social media motivator.
I focus on empowering individuals to overcome mental roadblocks, by strengthening personal growth, self-awareness, & mindset while building the accountability they need to create real change in their personal & professional life. My services are tailored to help motivate clients to tackle concerns like stress, resilience, anxiety, work-life balance, communication barriers, and relationship struggles. I also focus on boosting self-esteem, confidence, and time management, while guiding individuals on their growth journey. Whether you’re facing loneliness, isolation, or simply seeking more balance and fulfillment, I’m here to help you thrive.
A little of my background:
As a young black woman born and raised in Flint, MI, and the oldest of three children, I know how a child/teenager can become lost in the chaos. And that chaos could have either been a driven force or crumble. I have always worked hard, had drive, and focused on my goals. I have conquered every target I set my mind to, which has never been an issue for me per se. However, it has not always been this way for me.
So let me explain. I have overcome homelessness and being married at the tender age of 18, emotional & physical abuse, parental struggles, mental barriers/nervous breakdowns, being diagnosed with depression/anxiety, spouse & child suicide attempts scares, & losing my self-worth/identity due to investing in others more than I chose to invest in myself. Most say that I have the strength of a lion. And that excelling has always been my niche. However, if you would had asked me, I would have said that when it came to me excelling internally, I was like a sock after being washed lost (lol). But somehow still able to be a listening ear & shoulder to lean on for those in need. I have advised MANY close friends, family & colleagues who seemed to love & appreciate my realness, raw, honest, but speaking-from-my-heart coaching approach.
I continued to assist others with achieving happiness & solving their problems, but I was still LOST.
My journey to finding myself did not begin until my early 30's. Finally, I became "TIRED" & exhausted from fighting myself & others. Tired of things not happening for me the way I felt they should be happening. You noticed I stated the way (I FELT) life should be happening. Which always turned into a letdown for me. Nonetheless, I began to grow tired of being in pain from old wounds not being healed, tired of giving to others & not receiving the same investment in return, tired of being cold-hearted at times, & tired of not understanding my purpose in life.
I've worked within the healthcare field for over nine years. I started as a patient service representative and was then promoted to Supervisor. I was a patient access supervisor for 5 years within one of the top 10 hospitals in the nation and #1 in Chicago, IL.
From there, I promoted into a Performance Trainer role within the same prestigious hospital for two years. Trained in assisting individuals on how to communicate, adapt and connect with others. Trained in navigating difficult conversations that taught identifying key components, framing and delivering a not so pleasant conversation, and creating an action plan that deals with taking accountability.
Trained in FUEL technique that teaches how to frame conversations, understand their current state, explore their current state, and how to layout a success plan.
I have been coaching others for years in different forms of communication, changing mindsets, self-love, motivation, and positivity, before becoming fully certified.
And after deciding that something had to change & that change began with me. I started therapy sessions. Doing this helped unveil my past, wounds, hurts & disappointments that ran my life per se. Taking a deep dive within myself was quit painful but liberating at the same time. Once my journey had fallen into place, God spoke to me & asked me to walk in my purpose (assisting others), and that conversation led to me becoming a certified life coach.
"What makes you different is that you decided to invest in yourself."
"Empowering you to create the life you love."

TESTIMONIALS
Katrina Crater
Thank you, Kyka
I am so totally thankful for your honesty, support, guidance, spirit, and motivation. I am thankful to you for this journey of self-love and life motivation. It has been a life-changing moment for me.
Kyka, thank you for motivation with life and not giving up when all others have. Truly all things in my life were upside down and going right or wrong based on my choices. You have supported me and at the same time, you always held me accountable for everything. You being there saved my life a few times. Humbled from my divine connections in this season people's gifts and talents are being shown to pull people out of dark places and giving hope.
I was living for everyone else's needs and lives. Not understanding self-love, taking care of myself, and was wearing me down and I was burnt out. Emotionally unavailable, toxic, and at the all-time, I was wearing a smile on my face like it was ok. Your coaching taught me that how could I be good for anyone if I wasn't good mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or physically for myself.
Self-love is the key to family, friends, relationships, business partnerships, political, and just life in general. I can just take a breath in peace now and look towards my future ahead. I truly can not wait for my new journey to begin!!
