Professional Resilience Coaching
What Forward-Facing ® Means to Mona:
When I became a life coach, I learned how thoughts and emotions drive behavior. But something was missing: the role of the nervous system. I learned through Forward-Facing ® that the brain gathers evidence from the body’s physiological state to determine emotions, meaning that burnout, stress, and exhaustion aren’t just mindset issues—they’re nervous system issues. This realization was life-changing. I learned to see where my brain and nervous system were working naturally, yet in overdrive to protect me. And when I retrained both, my behaviors followed and I finally became the person I wanted to be. I am more emotionally resilient, intentional and authentic in my relationships. I have taught these tools to my clients and the results have been the same.
Coaching with Mona:
As a Registered Nurse and Certified Life Coach, Mona understands the immense pressure healthcare professionals face. Physicians, nurses and other medical providers are expected to be superhuman—giving endlessly while often neglecting their own needs. Yet, despite their deep capacity to help, care, serve and be successful; they are still humans and self care is a necessity, not a luxury.
In healthcare, secondary traumatic stress is common, yet rarely addressed. Witnessing trauma—whether firsthand or through patient care—imprints on the nervous system, contributing to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and chronic stress. I created MonaTippets Coaching and am proud to be a Forward Facing Professional Resilience Coach where I help healthcare professionals break free from burnout. My approach is not about trying harder—it’s about trying softer. By slowing down to speed up, my clients learn to work differently, achieving better results in life with less stress, greater productivity without exhaustion, better sleep and stronger relationships with themselves and loved ones. I help them have a life that they love and don’t want to escape from, to actually feel joy of the success that they have created.
I live in Boise, Idaho with my husband and 4 children. I enjoy mountain biking, waterskiing, listening to podcasts and being in nature. I am working diligently at being a regulated human to positively impact those around me.
