Maren Londahl-Smidt with Balance and Beyond Coaching is warm, direct, and grounded in what she offer as a coach. As a therapist-brained with CEO energy she normalizes the hard stuff before offering the solution, and speaks to her audience like a trusted colleague: someone who has been exactly where they are, figured out the system, and is now walking alongside them and never above them. Maren is strategic and warm, with a playful edge in the right places. There is zero tolerance for toxic positivity or hustle culture. She is the clinically-trained colleague who stopped pretending money stuff is “fine”, figured out a real system, and now holds the door open for everyone else to do the same (without shame, without hype, and without making it harder than it needs to be.)
Some of Maren’s ideal clients have been burned by online offers and she wants to actively build trust so we focused on her unique brand and showing up as herself! The goal is not just to attract clients, but to be the reason they believe this time will be different. Her authenticity, clinical background, and relationship-centered approach are her differentiators. Trust is not a marketing tactic it is the foundation of everything she does. Maren started Balance & Beyond Coaching Solutions approximately two years ago, following a pivotal coaching session with Patrick Casale. She identifies as a Cash Flow and Business Strategist and a certified Profit for Keeps® coach. She works with therapists in private practice who have ADHD and are overwhelmed by the money side of running their business navigating shame, confusion, and a severe lack of resources designed for the way their brains actually work. Because so little has been built with the ADHD brain in mind, her clients have been trying to make systems work that were never designed for them. They face executive function challenges, decision paralysis, spreadsheet overwhelm, and underneath all of it, deep fear about whether private practice is even sustainable for them. Maren gives them a system that actually works for how their brain is wired and helps them see that private practice is absolutely sustainable for them. Maren is currently undergoing a full rebrand (her first since launching two years ago) and reached out to me for a Visionary VIP Session- we had a blast and I love seeing her already using her new images in funnels, her website and social media.
Maren shared about her Visionary VIP Session. What were your hesitations before booking? “I was terrified with the investment as I had never had a branding photo shoot before. Deep down when Roxanne told me about the VIP experience I knew that’s what I needed.” Maren shared about booking, “From the second I had my discovery call with Roxanne, I knew she was it. I had already checked out her website and IG and loved her work. Then when we met we vibed instantaneously. I didn’t even need to meet with anyone else, as she fully understood my vision and I knew she would take my rebrand to the next level. Even more so that my new photos would help me feel confident and ready to step into my next chapter.”
After our session her feedback made me teary: “My images are FIREEE! This was my first brand storytelling experience, and let me tell you I’ll never go back. In the past I’ve a hard time relaxing as I’m going straight from the car to photos. This was the complete opposite. I didn’t have to stress about what to wear, I showed up and it was all about me. I had time to relax, get to know everyone and laugh. a lot. Roxanne and her team are truly like no other. If you want to truly stand out in your space, Roxanne is your girl! And do yourself a favor, book the VIP experience!“
“Roxanne is the best! You’re going to get so much more than a photography session. You’re going to have a new bff, hype woman, creative and someone that is going to take you to places you didn’t even know were possible. There are a few yes’s that have completely changed my business. This is probably #1. When I first met Roxanne, I told her how hard it is for me to relax as well as how I struggled with content creation. Well, let me tell you I walked out a different woman than when I arrived. I not only leveled up my brand, but I also found what was missing for me to create content. Now I have a whole new team of amazing women to partner with that truly understand my vision, my why and what it takes to bring everything together!”
