Welcome, beauty.

Let’s find your way UP.

Have you ever been swimming in the ocean only to be caught by a wave that tumbles and tosses you around?  It can feel like you’ll never find your way out but every now and then you catch a glimpse of the sun through the water and you know which way is up.  You may be feeling discombobulated, disoriented, or in a daze as you try to orient yourself amid the chaos. 

Maybe you’ve made it out of the water and through the really hard stuff but you’re left wondering “who am I now?” and “what the &*$^% do I do next?!”   You may wish you had someone like the sun to guide you from the tumult. 

I’m here to tell you that YOU are your own sun, we just have to rinse the sand from your eyes.

I hear you’re ready for an adventure.


Hi, I’m Layne Baumgardner and I want to help you find your way “up.”  

I am a Wayfinder life coach with a Masters degree in Communication Studies and Advocacy and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology.  Long story short, I’ve been studying people for a very, very long time.  And I’ve been studying myself for nearly as long.  



As the founder and CEO of Sol Purpose Life Design, my intention is to create a space for you to explore your depths.  The ocean has many hidden gems and many hidden bogeymen (they are only pretending to be “bad” but are really gifts wrapped in scary costumes, more on that later) and sometimes we can benefit from a guide who knows the terrain to help us find the good stuff.



I want to acknowledge you for this first step toward creating an adventurous, authentic life for yourself.  Change is not easy (just look at how often people resist it!) but you are starting down the path - and that is absolutely the most courageous, loving thing you can do for yourself.

I’m so excited to learn about you and how I can help.

Adventure

“An exciting or dangerous experience.” So…life, right? Life is one big adventure full of risk, reward, fun, excitement and danger. None of us are getting out alive but we can work toward feeling more harmonious, curious and joyful while we’re here.

What is Life Design?

Life design is the process of intentionally creating your life based on your values and a desire to move through the world in a more authentic way. It is a collaborative experience where you and I explore different perspectives and possibilities in an effort to help you examine what isn’t working in your current reality and how you can make the change you’re ready for. It is an adventure!
