About
Welcome!
Welcome! I’m Elaine Blais, a midlife troublemaker (aka difficult woman) and certified life coach. I work with women who are ready to reclaim their personal power through the Art of Self-Approval so you can confidently put yourself first and create more of what you want in life. I call that living into the fullness of who you are here to be...and she is magnificent!
I spent much of my life pleasing others and trying not to be difficult. That made life all the more difficult for me. Over time, and with lots of support, I realized the power in reclaiming what I perceived made me difficult and approving of all of me. From there, I began writing a new story for my life and that has made all the difference.
Woman + Difficult = Powerful
Ready to step into your power? I'd love to support you in your journey.



Your feelings matter.
You might feel like you need permission to live your dream life - but you don't. Change is scary - and it's important to give yourself grace for wanting more than what you have. Wanting more in your life doesn't mean you don't love your life or love what you have - it means you've only scratched the surface of your soul's potential to soar.
I want to help you do that.
I know exactly how you feel because I am living this adventure of my own. After 25 years in corporate, years of co-dependency, people pleasing, and perfectionism, I found my way back to myself and The Art of Self-Approval. You too can change your life. One small step at a time.
How to Get Started
“Elaine Blais is the real deal! Participating in her workshop gave me energy and confidence around my job search. Before the workshop I was feeling stuck and resigned. The exercises opened up new insights about how to start being the professional I dream of, right now. I highly recommend working with Elaine.“
