Through my unique entrepreneur life coaching program, you’ll heal from past pain and live a more fulfilling personal and professional life.
As an experienced life coach, I specialize in helping entrepreneurs overcome addictions and trauma.
My goal is to help you move past your past and embrace a future of happiness and purpose.
Read on to learn how I can help you gain clarity, find joy, and unlock your true potential in all areas of your life.
I get you. Here's Why
I’m Denise G. Lee—your confidence booster, plan maker, and partner in coaching you to greatness.
As an entrepreneur life coach, I help successful business owners like you heal from old wounds, handle stress better, and see things clearly. Being an introvert and a certified project manager, I aim to understand your problems deeply. Together, we’ll create a realistic plan that suits your business and life stage.
I know how lack of clarity and stress can mess things up. With my coaching, you’ll understand yourself better and make decisions confidently.Talking about your personal life with a stranger can be tough. You might fear judgment or think, “Denise doesn’t get my pain.”
Let’s break the ice. In the next section, I’ll share a bit about my life. We might not have the same story, but you’ll see we share similar feelings of being low and misunderstood.
A Rocky Childhood and Unsteady Early Adulthood
I was raised by Sierra-Leonean immigrants. On the surface it looked like we had obtained the American dream, complete with a little white-poodle I named, ‘Buster.’ While everything looked picture perfect from the outside, complete with family portraits and expensive furniture, the emotional walls inside each of us were moldy and decayed.
Although I raised in an upper middle class neighborhood, myself and my two older brothers felt a complete lack of safety and security within our upscale home. We did not complain, partially because we didn’t understand nor had the words to explain the pain we all felt.
While my father was absent pursuing his obsession with women and money, my mother desperately clung onto me for love and attention. Because of her own unresolved trauma issues, my mother abused me sexually, physically and verbally. Instead of blaming her, I blamed myself for not having the smarts to run away from her quick enough.
The rage from not having my emotional needs met did a great job (so I thought) of masking away the pain. I withdrew from people and enjoyed watching hours of pornography and romance novels. Little did I know that my compulsion to consume lust-filled content would later bloom into a full-blown sex addiction.
To make matters worse, low self-esteem led me to engage in uninteresting personal and professional activities, reinforcing the notion that my dreams and wishes should take a backseat to the approval of others. I clung to jobs and relationships that gradually chipped away at my confidence, leaving me with little foundation to construct anything meaningful, as I felt hollow and empty inside.
I attempted to mask the pain through sarcasm and comfort eating, perpetuating a cycle of deception with myself and others. My actions kept me entrenched in old and destructive patterns.
This emotional quicksand needed to come to an end. I required a strategy not only to overcome anxiety but also to break free from the compulsion to please others in every aspect of my life.
🎧 LISTEN: Three reasons why you may be chronically anxious and how to fix it.
Your growth depends on how much risk you're willing to take.
After many years of trying to fix my problems alone, through freebies and low cost programs, I was nowhere close to a solution. Moreover, I refused to risk anything beyond $500 unless I was convinced it was the “holy grail,” or perfect solution. Continuing this strategy while expecting different results was sheer madness. I knew I needed more help.
After much thought, I invested two mid-priced group business coaching programs. Both were enlightening as it forced me to expose my unresolved traumatic memories. These programs confirmed my prior lack of investment in myself because of my deep fear of failure.
Next, I took a deep dive into trauma and anxiety therapy, post-traumatic stress disorder, cognitive-based therapy, and spiritual self-help programs.
I realized my compulsions, obsessions, and anxieties were linked to trauma. To heal, I had to face past sexual, physical, and verbal traumas.
During my healing journey, I learned to appreciate the best parts of myself and quiet the negative, critical thoughts. I gained the ability to trust myself and believe in my success. If I could heal, so can you.
Many personal and professional development programs treat you as a number rather than a person with unique issues. I learned this truth through my own personal experiences.
My trauma-informed coaching program will help you remove identify and eliminate any insecurity that is blocking you from success.
I established Denise Lee Coaching because I saw a deep need in this market for business owners seeking an entrepreneur life coach who understands the complexities of trauma recovery.
If you are looking to escape from the quicksand of negativity, allow me to help you shovel your way out of your current situation.

Warning
I do NOT believe that there is only ONE way to grow a business and I do NOT mind telling you when you are hurting yourself and your chances of success.
How I Got Here | About Denise G Lee
In 2013, I left an almost decade long career managing multi-million dollar projects as a certified project manager (PMP) at FEMA and Census Bureau. And I knew if I could pull that off, I could handle jumping into the fire of running my own business.
So I did!
While still working with those agencies, I grew a personal training business that I started with my own two hands from nothing to being highlighted on TV and winning free mobile advertising by Capital One.

I left the personal training industry to become the entrepreneur life coach that you need to help you bring all of the gifts that you can provide to others in business and in life.
