What you’ve been through is real. But it’s not the whole story.

Now is the time to boldly give yourself permission to dream again.

You’ve lived through something that changed everything—an injury, a profound loss, or a life-shaking event that left you questioning everything, maybe even your very identity. While others may have offered platitudes like “you’ll be fine,” deep inside, you recognized that things had irrevocably changed.The past shaped you, but it doesn’t have the final word.

There’s hope in what is. Because even here—even now—new life is possible.

And the next chapter? That’s yours to write.

If you’re willing to imagine more—and brave enough to take the first step.

Trauma is not the conclusion of your story. It marks the commencement of your transformation.

Reclaim Your Agency and Forge a Purpose-Driven Life



John O’Brien

TRAUMA AND PURPOSE COACH

High-impact coaching for those ready to reclaim agency, integrate meaning, and take courageous action in life and work.

I’m John O’Brien, a coach dedicated to assisting individuals like you in reclaiming their sense of self after trauma—be it physical, emotional, spiritual, or existential. Whether you've experienced a devastating moral injury, navigated a life-altering event, or simply lost your inner compass, I’m here to guide you through the work that leads not just to healing, but to meaning, purpose, and growth.

In April 2025, I completed the intensive Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching program through Harvard Medical School’s Executive Education to deepen the care, clarity, and strategy I bring to every session—helping clients create lasting change with real hope and purpose.
