Renée DeVore

Self-Leadership Coach

Renée DeVore is a self-leadership coach who empowers high-achieving women, particularly those over 40, to break free from external expectations and reclaim their authentic selves. After 25 years in education, including 16 as a high school principal, Renée reached the pinnacle of conventional success—a six-figure salary, international acclaim for her schools, and a life filled with travel and prestige. Yet, beneath the surface, she felt spiritually and emotionally bankrupt, relying on coping mechanisms like heavy drinking, debt, and escapism to survive. A devastating panic attack became her wake-up call. At 48, she walked away from her career, sold everything, and moved to Mexico for a year of profound self-discovery. This bold reset led to marriage at 49 and launching her coaching business at 50. Today, through Soul Growth, Renée guides women who 'have it all' but feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled. Drawing from positive psychology, NLP, and her transformative journey, she helps clients overcome self-doubt, set empowering boundaries, and align their lives with core values. Her compassionate, heart-centered approach fosters clarity, courage, and connection, enabling women to step into bold, unapologetic versions of themselves. Renée also founded The Sol Circle, a short-lived community for early-stage female solopreneurs, and serves as an executive coach at Curran Contracting Company, focusing on emotional intelligence and inner leadership. A 6/2 Generator in Human Design, she infuses her work with energy-seeking wisdom, helping midlife women redefine success on their own terms. Her story resonates as proof that reinvention knows no age limit, inspiring countless women to prioritize joy over achievement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Renée DeVore

How can high-achieving women identify if they're stuck despite success?

High-achieving women often feel a subtle tension or inner void despite external wins like promotions or wealth. Signs include chronic exhaustion, reliance on vices like alcohol or overwork, people-pleasing at personal cost, and questioning 'Is this it?' Renée DeVore teaches recognizing these as signals from your authentic self, suppressed by societal rules and others' expectations. Through self-reflection practices rooted in positive psychology, women learn to distinguish imposed beliefs from true desires, setting the stage for purposeful change. Her clients, often midlife professionals, discover this misalignment via panic attacks or burnout, much like her own pivot from principal to coach [LinkedIn Profile](https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachreneedevore).

What does a transformation journey look like with a self-leadership coach?

Renée's process starts with compassionate inquiry into what's holding you back—self-doubt, poor boundaries, or misaligned values. Using NLP and heart-centered techniques, clients build clarity on core desires, courage to act without permission, and connection to their power. Expect mindset shifts, boundary-setting exercises, and actionable steps to craft a fulfilling life. From her Mexico sabbatical to business launch, Renée models this: sell the old, embrace uncertainty, thrive authentically. Results? Freedom, joy, and unapologetic living, as echoed in her work with educators turned leaders [Her Next Chapters Podcast](https://www.linkedin.com/videos/kohlchristina_ever-feel-like-youre-living-a-life-that-activity-7402036422221979649-yElP).

Is it too late for midlife women to reinvent their lives?

Absolutely not—Renée proves reinvention thrives in midlife. At 48, she quit her principal role; by 50, she was coaching. Age brings wisdom, resources, and clarity absent in youth. Her Instagram reels affirm: 'It's only too late if you think it's too late,' targeting 50+ women rediscovering purpose [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVyJG8RlCWb/). Human Design as a 6/2 Generator, she channels life experience into guiding empathic women to truth and freedom, countering societal 'settle now' narratives with real stories of post-career blooms.

How does Human Design factor into Renée's coaching?

As a 6/2 Generator, Renée integrates Human Design to help clients align with their energy type, avoiding burnout from non-aligned living. Generators thrive responding to life's calls rather than forcing initiative; her 6/2 profile (role model/investigator) lends authority from lived trials. This framework complements NLP and psychology, aiding boundary-setting and purpose discovery. Clients learn to trust inner authority, reducing decision fatigue—a key for high-achievers overwhelmed by options [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachreneedevore).
