I'm Victoria, the founder of Planted Path Coaching.

I believe that growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence. My passion is helping others navigate life's transitions with greater clarity, purpose, and self-trust.

That passion naturally evolved into coaching, where I've spent the past two years partnering with clients in both 1-on-1 and group coaching settings. These experiences have deepened my belief that meaningful change begins with honest conversations, intentional action, and compassionate support.

My goal is to provide a safe, encouraging space where you can explore your goals, discover your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to build.

Hello, I’m Angela Brown, founder of Lavender Haze Coaching.
I am so glad you found your way here. As a certified professional life coach, I specialize in helping clients create transformative life and career changes with tangible results. If you’re feeling stuck or ready for a career pivot, you are in the right place.

My Journey

During my early career, I often asked myself, “Is this it?” I’d sit in my car before work, dreading the day ahead. Like many people, I had taken a job after college simply to feel secure and accomplished—but it wasn’t aligned with who I truly was. I spent years on autopilot, until I began to recognize the signs of burnout and deep dissatisfaction. I didn’t have a clear plan—I just knew something needed to change.

Time For a Change

Like you, I was searching for more. I took a personal inventory of my skills, interests, and values—and made a bold decision to pivot. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, but I knew something had to change. After doing some serious self-reflection, I found a career path that aligned with my lifestyle, passions, and sense of purpose. Now, through Lavender Haze Coaching, I help others do the same. Together, we will clarify what’s next for you and build a career that reflects who you truly are.

Why I Do This Work

I believe you deserve a career that doesn’t just pay the bills, but lights you up and complements your desired lifestyle.  Whether you're burned out, stuck, or craving a meaningful change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’ve been there—and I’m here to help you rediscover clarity, confidence, and joy in your work and personal life. Let’s begin your next chapter—together.

As someone who grew up in a family where hard things were avoided instead of addressed, I know how easy it is to numb out, avoid conflict, and settle for surface-level connection. I made it my mission to help people change their legacy for future generations by recognizing unhealthy cycles, dealing with relational challenges, and taking ownership of their personal growth. 

No one’s future deserves to be defined by or limited by their past, and I'm here to help you make the most of yours.

There is no profit in healthy people.

When we spend years of our lives not taking care of the one thing that is worth more than all the gold on the planet...our bodies.

Our health is our greatest wealth.

All the fat bank accounts, big houses and fancy sports cars mean nothing if you are ill, or dying. At that point, you'd trade it all just to have your health back.

Once looped into the broken healthcare system this country is famous for, it will take a very long time to find that healthy life, if ever.

How do you change a lifetime of bad habits?

How do you realize the one thing that really matters?

How do you start?

When people ask me how I lost 100 pounds and reversed type 2 diabetes, I'm fairly certain they really don't want to know the hard truth of what it takes.

But the short and doable answer; one day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time and on hard days, 10 minutes at a time. But I refused to give up on myself.

That journey lead me down a path of what realizing that even well respected doctors (and I had those) in all the years it takes to earn that doctorate, spend about 5 minutes on nutrition.

They make more bank prescribing pills.

My personal story is long, hard, full of unhealed trauma and heartbreak, not for this post, but to let you inside my life, how I took my health back, how I changed everything and how I stay strong and healthy. This lead me to a 20 year career in holistic health and personal training, and yoga.
