Bridge Coaching Program

Empowering your clients to move forward with confidence, clarity, and lifelong tools.

At Within Me Coaching, our Bridge Coaching Program partners with organizations that serve BIPOC and queer communities to provide intentional, identity-affirming coaching support for clients nearing the end of a program or transitional phase. We act as a bridge, helping clients move from receiving services to confidently building the next chapter of their lives.

What We Do

We offer on-site or virtual group and 1-on-1 coaching sessions—typically twice a month—that compliment your organization's core services. Through guided reflection, goal setting, and practical tools, we support clients in:

  • Identifying personal strengths and values

  • Gaining clarity on what's next in their lives or careers

  • Building confidence to make empowered decisions

  • Creating realistic action plans they can follow

  • Developing lifelong practices for self-trust, resilience, and personal leadership

Why It Matters

Many community-based programs focus on immediate needs—housing, healthcare, financial support, or safety. But when it’s time to move forward, clients are often left to figure it out alone.


Bridge Coaching fills that gap. We support your clients through the emotional and practical transition alongside your program so they move forward with purpose.

This coaching support helps:

  • Reduce return or re-enrollment rates in high-need services

  • Strengthen long-term outcomes like employment, housing stability, and well-being

  • Equip clients with tools for life—not just the moment

How It Helps Your Clients Succeed

Our coaching supports clients with:

  • Vision Mapping: Creating a values-based vision for life beyond the program

  • Goal Planning: Breaking down dreams into tangible steps

  • Mindset Shifts: Reframing limiting beliefs and building internal trust

  • Community Connection: Encouraging peer reflection and accountability

  • Next-Step Strategies: Resume building, boundary setting, financial planning, and more—customized to your clients’ needs

Testimonials

  • During a particular moment of frustration with an unfavorable imbalance between my workload and financial stability, Z reminded me that I could structure my business any way that I wanted to. I was stuck for years doing business one way - spending a lot of time in burnout, agitation, and resentment. Z helped get me out of a stress spiral by regrounding me with the innate creative abundance of entrepreneurship. When you work with Z, you will tap that creative abundance within yourself and be empowered by the endless possibilities of ways you can generate income as an expert in your craft. As you learn to stay connected to your “why,” those options will become transparent to you. Not only is Z an outside-the-box thinker but Z is also focused and disciplined in their way of coaching, keeping you on pace to reach your goals. My type of coach!

  • Zipporah has been coaching me for months now and I can’t exaggerate how meaningful it’s been to me. I came to Zipporah at a time of chaos, grief, and so many dramatic changes, but every single week Zipporah has been able to help me figure out how I need to move forward. Zipporah’s smile has cheered me on through the toughest times and given me the confidence to put myself out there and do the things I’ve been scared of. When I’ve needed to just put my nose down and do the hard and boring work in front of me, Zipporah helped encourage me with that, too. I’ve never had such a positive coaching experience and I highly recommend that you book your discovery call right away!

  • Zipporah made social media strategy feel easy and approachable. Came to Zipporah feeling overwhelmed, avoidant, and seeking a relationship with social media that didn't feel so fraught. Zipporah simplified the process of creating and sharing content and helped simplify what consistent social media engagement needed to look like. Zipporah's expansive knowledge of the various ways to interact with each platform helped discover which methods would empower expression most authentically. After working with Zipporah for several months, became clearer about the role social media plays in life and profession. A system has been created that allows for consistent audience engagement, with a growing ability to create content that feels exciting to share. After the first meeting, it was clear that Zipporah's care, attention to detail, and ability to see opportunities where obstacles were seen made Zipporah the perfect fit to help achieve goals. So happy to have reached out to Zipporah!

  • Zipporah is an amazing coach. Zipporah's genuine, authentic, very real belief in you as a client is palpable. So smart, caring, thoughtful, inventive, gently but firmly insistingly inquiring about what makes you tick and what's going to move the needle. I love Zipporah's presence and vibe. Zipporah makes it easy to lay out my issues or projects on the table and in a relaxed but purposeful way. Consider yourself lucky if you get to work with Zipporah.

  • Zipporah has been a constant guide for me over the past three months. Even though we originally planned for a six-session pro bono package, Zipporah, with immense generosity, extended it to 12 sessions. The time, energy, and wisdom shared with me were beyond generous. The best thing about the sessions was that I was never judged for who I am or for my beliefs. With Zipporah, it never felt like my identity was on trial. Instead, we focused on putting my limiting beliefs and the things holding me back on trial, helping me improve and grow. Zipporah was very accommodating with scheduling, changes, and cancellations. Despite the sessions being pro bono, there was never any objection to my needs. Another great help was the session notes. Looking back at them allowed me to reflect on my thoughts and progress. Sometimes, I would reread them multiple times in a week to truly understand where my thoughts were coming from, how I was expressing myself, and what was driving my fears. I'm immensely grateful to Zipporah for being there and helping me move past the fears that blocked my progress. I'm beyond thankful for Zipporah's guidance. The support gave me the courage to start posting and embrace the empowered version of myself, and for that, I am forever grateful.

  • Being coached by Zipporah is a special kind of experience. Z is kind, listens deeply, and accepts you as you are. Z helped me through some tough emotions and core beliefs around who I was and who I wanted to be, and the insights from the breakthroughs in our sessions are something I still carry with me to this day. Can't recommend Z enough, especially if you're looking to understand yourself deeper while someone hold space for you unconditionally.
