I really benefited from working with Fonda, I walked away with a new outlook on life.

Before working with Fonda, I felt like I was stuck fighting a losing battle. I felt defeated about various facets of my life and could not see a way out.

By working with her, I gained tools to uplift myself and stay positive.

Thanks to Fonda, I have improved peace of mind, outlook for the future and inner strength.

Applying these tools have helped tremendously in both my professional and personal lives.

April Epps Palmieri, M.S., L.Ac

Fonda gave me tools that I now use to better myself. She is caring, attentive and motivating.

At the time of our sessions I was feeling lost and unconfident in the choices I’ve made in my life. I also was having difficulty seeing pathways to solutions.

Her encouragement and support helped me gain faith in my decision-making and realize that I was already on the right path.

I’m grateful for such a positive experience. She is a gentle soul and anyone would be lucky to have her as a life coach.

Alexis Eaves

I was stuck at a point in my career and didn’t know what to do about it. My industry is every changing and I do not like change! I needed to find clarity so, I could get unstuck and get back to what I loved doing.

I worked with Fonda and she reframed my mindset around the changes in the fashion industry. Together, we got to the truth of who I am in this industry. I remembered my success and the impact I have had with fashion and the people around me.

She is tough and loving with her words. The best was when she stated how I would be depriving the world of my talent, if I didn’t get back on track.

With that said, I have found new directions I want to go in my career and now I am flexible for the ever changing atmosphere. I am proud of who I am and what I have accomplished, I feel FREE! Thanks, Fonda!

For days, weeks, months now I have been so depressed and down hearted that I honestly could not see me living one more day! Nothing and Not even family and friends filled the want to live space. Even my Faith that God is ever present felt empty. It has been a battle honestly, but yesterday I said, as [name] would say, take baby steps on your self care plan. I sat feeling a mix of you can do it emotions to you never will.

I decided to Do even the smallest house chore and guess what through pain I did it! I walked which is always an accomplishment down the street rested and walked back. I picked up a dream that will go against all odds and unfolded the blueprints to see how it’s going to happen. Today I woke up renewed even with anxiety running close behind. I had a total slap in the face from those closet to me that almost set me further back and crushed my advancement. I begin to scream out all the anguish and pain from days weeks and months maybe even years that have been trapped. I have no voice I screamed so much.

I decided instead of ending it all today, to take another baby step. I walked in the rain, cried in the rain, breathed in the rain, trembled in the rain. I also prayed in the rain, Encouraged myself in the rain, I am ok in the rain. I have not been able to utter prayers and people have stood in that gap where I had no strength. Today though small, I believe in the rain even that as Joseph shared his dream and was cast in the dangerous well, he was delivered rewarded through adversity and rose to lead over nations. Fonda Clayton Smith thank you for words today that help to calm me in the rain.
