Abegayle Keener is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her powerful words and sincerity.
Her journey, from navigating a draining nightlife career to creating a purpose driven coaching practice, reflects her own profound personal transformation. Having officially stepped into the coaching world in 2023 after years of preparation, she now empowers women to release the past, embrace the present, and craft a vision for the future.
Her innovative and holistic approach treats every clientās life as an interconnected ecosystem, focusing not just on goals but on reshaping subconscious patterns that hold them back. Combining creative subconscious reprogramming with practical tools for organization and energy management, she helps her clients achieve lasting change.
Her work is a testament to the power of personal growth and the courage to start anew. And it wasn’t easy. She’s been through her fair share of struggles, from overcoming childhood wounds, healing grief, and silencing the inner critic. But all of these things helped shape her into the coach she is today. Here is what she said…
Meet Life Coach Abegayle Keener:
Name: Abegayle Keener
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind
Who is this coach for: Women who want to reprogram themselves out of their imposed limits so they can achieve anything they want in life.
How they can help: By using various assessments, tools and techniques to evaluate the individual, gain clarity and design a successful plan for moving forward, as well as subconscious exercises to create supporting environment.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
I personally do not let what the pandemic did affect me now.
I am aware there are aspects of the pandemic aftermath that still exist that all of us cannot avoid.
I do my best to focus on what is in my control and focus on how to elevate meeting myself where I am.Ā
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
When the pandemic happened I was still putting together how I wanted to coach others and execute my own plan.
I took a huge delay by not having side work while put together my business.
Night life shut down for a bit and I had to delivery drive.
Yes, it delayed my plans.
However, I carried on building my vision and doing practice sessions.
I had to move houses during the pandemic and got scammed by a rental con artist.
That was not fun.
Other than that I was making the best of it.Ā
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
The biggest lesson I learned during the pandemic was to trust my intuition.
There were events that I did not go with the crowd on and I ended up being in the right place.
There were also events where I didnāt listen to my intuition and I paid for it.
I learned to think for myself.
I also learned to get things in writing.
Even if people mean well at one point and seem trustworthy.
Getting things in writing is the right way to handle arrangements.Ā
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I got started with my coaching career officially at the end of 2023.
I launched my brand in 2024.
I started building my vision for my coaching and all the ways I wish to create impact in 2018.
All these prior years coaching for the practice and focused on developing skillsets.
After all the years of preparing, research and development.
I decided at the end of 2023 to make the plunge and take action on my dreams to become a coach.
Prior to coaching I worked in night life.
It felt very draining.
I knew I wanted to pursue a more life giving path.
I have had the coaching spirit since I was a kid as I was the oldest sibling and loved to see others succeed in school.
This year has been the most transformative year yet.
As I made the plunge Iāve had to grow as a person on a whole new level.
Iāve worked with many amazing women this year releasing the past, getting organized in their present and creating clarity around their vision!
Iām honored to be a part of all these ladies elevation in life.
Although the world has had many ups and downs throughout the years, personally, I feel my life gets better each year I get older.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
The biggest obstacle Iāve had to overcome that has created who I am today has beenā¦ healing the damage that I went through as a child, experiencing grief and not allowing how others view me to define who I am or what I do.
When I realized how much my whole life was the way it was because of what I was treated and taught as a child, I knew I had a lot of work to do.
That work completely transformed me in ways I never believed possible.
I believe that is whatās in so many peopleās way.
Healing my childhood gave me inner freedom and power.
Next, grief was something I always experienced, howeverā¦ I couldnāt identify it until a couple years ago.Ā
Learning about myself and life through grief has been one of the deepest experiences Iāve ever had.
At the time I learned what grief wasā¦ I remember sayingā¦ āI think I have grief.ā While I was in a salt spa, after listening to a meditation that was about grief.
At the time, I knew something was off.
It wasnāt a clear feeling though.
Iām usually really good at identifying my feelings… It bothered me I couldnāt put my finger on it.
I accidentally clicked a guided meditation for grief.
And, all of it made sense after that.
Thatās when I was made aware of all the grief I was carrying in my life from my whole life.
That is when I had to start unpacking and intentionally working through the grief of the healing I had done.
Then, having experiences of loss after learning about grief, welcomed a whole new level of awareness around the topic.
Grief taught me acceptance.
Last, but not least, I used to absorb other peopleās perspectives of me.
I would hear criticism, and then that would be all I see and think about myself.
I couldnāt help it.
I would behave in a way that reinforced others criticism because I would adopt their view of me.
At the time I just did not know how to see myself for my own worth and formulate my own self concept.
It was always swaying to what others were deciding I was.
One day I said no. I am not any of that and I trust my judgement.
I started to look at what was actually going on within my inner world and what my actions showed.
I was honest about where I can improve.
I started sculpting my inner self into what I valued and respected. Then, took actions that matched that.
I became who I always wanted to be and already was underneath all of the opinions that were not mine.
I embodied it.
Took action on it.
Now, I know how to handle other peoples view of me in a healthy way. These three things changed my life.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
I treat each person’s individual life as an ecosystem with the holistic approach.
I believe that everything in our life contributes to the sum of our reality.
If we want different outcomes, we must look at our lives as a whole and see what we can do or become so the whole ecosystem benefits.
The unique aspect of this for my coaching is the lenses that show: we really can have it all.
Many sacrifice particular areas of themselves for another.
It rarely works out when we do that.
I strive to redefine success by meeting people where they are and developing a plan that uplifts their whole life rather than treating one symptom.
The special thing I do with my work revolves around subconscious reprogramming.
Itās one thing to have the right plan.
Itās another thing to have a brain programmed to accept that plan.
Many peopleās lives would be better in an instant if it was just about having a plan… Many times itās our subconscious that steers us away from a successful plan.
The person that we are keeps us from behaving how we wish to behave.
Yes, there are times you can behave your way into different thinking.
Other times we do need to connect to the subconscious mind in a way that helps the body carry out the best process for the individual.
Whatās unique about your coaching approach?
The creative and fun subconscious reprogramming methods.
In these sessions, with this work, it can get weird and silly.
Itās not conventional as of now, but itās effective.
There is a lot of work out there in the coaching world that is very forceful and harsh.
As I do sprinkle some tough love in at times, creating a safe ecosystem for the client is #1 and I enjoy making it fun for them.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
The benefits clients get after working with me are a whole inner transformation in the way they believe, think and feel.
Subconscious work is powerful and contagious.
As we crack the codes on one thing, it ripples out into so much more.
They also benefit from the practical structure I set to achieve goals and live the lifestyle they wish.
They get organized, gain clarity and get to walk away a new person from the inside out.Ā
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
I manage expectations.
We assess their life…
See what they can dedicate to elevating themselves…
And set a structure for what we are working on.
I get the rear view mirror cleared through what is keeping them from looking forward (if thatās the case).
We go over basic educational material that helps with decision making, organization, setting priorities, stress, time and energy management.
These are basic skills I believe everyone needs to have.
I use special subconscious exercises to prime each session so they are in an open place to learn and apply later.
When you can influence someoneās mood and mind, you can help them learn in a much more fun and easy way.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
Do it now and do not stop.
Reguardless of the reasoning, so many people put so much off.
People are always saying later or giving really valid excuses for not becoming or doing the things they want.
Do it right now.
Start now.
Keep starting now.
Everyday.
Put something into action.
Stop only dreaming and planning.
These days it looks like the successful people donāt do much due to social media.
It looks seamless and effortless.
I promise you, they are working their butts off or at one point did.
Many people want the result and not the process.
Many people only show the result and not the process.
Donāt listen to any of it.
Get your process mapped out and do it everyday.
You will never regret putting in the effort.
If you are going to spend a lot of time with a dream you may as well make it real by doing something about it.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
The greatest lesson Iāve learned in life is: you have the power to live however you want.
You choose everyday what life means and how valuable it is.
Nothingā¦ not the past, an āenemyā, or any amount of darkness can hold the light in you back.
You have the power to overcome it all.
The hardest thing for me to see was my own power for too long.
It is something you do have to discover for yourself on many different levels.
Sometimes life will throw something at you that makes it seem like thatās not true.
However, itās the whole truth.
You are it.
You can influence your whole life in the way you want.
Itās also one thing to realize it and another thing to actually do it.
Your final thoughts?
I am grateful to be connecting with anyone through this article.
Every time I get a chance to share what I do and reflect on this way, it makes me a better person and coach.
Thank you for your time and effort… I am excited to keep growing and finding new ways to innovate the coaching experience.
