Life Coach: Discover Clarity, Purpose, & Transformation
Real Talk. Real Solutions. Real Freedom.
Welcome!
Breaking Free is about reclaiming your life with clarity, courage, and intention, moving beyond survival, coping, and addiction into lasting recovery and personal transformation.
Clients often describe our work as a turning point: a shift from lost to found, from doubt to clarity, from living under the radar to fully being seen. Together, we uncover the truth, break patterns of self-betrayal, and create a clear, grounded roadmap toward recovery from addiction, life setbacks, toxic relationships, or a version of yourself you’ve outgrown. What unites the people I work with is a deep longing for truth and a desire to release an inner discomfort that is no longer tolerable.
If you’re here, something inside you already knows it’s time to recover, rebuild, and realign…and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Let’s begin.
-Brenda Heckes, CPRC, HMC, CLC.
“Real talk. Real solutions. Real freedom.”
Breaking free isn’t a single moment. It’s a process, an internal journey. It’s a brain rewire. It’s a lifestyle.

Coaching Specialties
1:1 Coaching
This program is a 3-month, deeply supportive coaching partnership designed for people who are ready for real change. We meet weekly for 50 minutes by phone or Zoom to do focused, intentional work.
Your investment isn’t for a program, a set of sessions, or time on a calendar. You’re investing in a version of yourself that refuses to settle for the familiar, or the patterns that once felt safe but kept you under the radar.
Unbridled Freedom:
A Private Equine Coaching Immersion at the Ranch
There are times when another therapy session, another book, another YouTube video, another recovery meeting, another journaling exercise or another executive fast track program isn’t enough. You don’t need more information; you need a breakthrough experience. Unbridled Freedom is designed to deliver exactly that. Set on a pristine ranch in the Sierra foothills of Northern California, this experience blends direct and compassionate coaching with the profound, intuitive presence of horses.

Carole L.
I reached out to Brenda for coaching around my interior design business, for after 25 years, I had outgrown the way I’d always done things. She helped me unwind what had me in pause mode and created a safe space for me to reinvent myself.
