If you're tired of knowing better but still feeling stuck — you're in the right place.
About Me
I'm Faith Tunstall, M.S., LPC — a Licensed Professional Counselor turned Certified Solution-Focused Life Coach who turns clinical insight into clear, actionable steps you'll actually follow.
I didn't stumble into coaching by accident. I spent years sitting across from brilliant, emotionally intelligent women in therapy — women who could name every pattern, trace every wound back to its origin, and still feel paralyzed when it came time to move. I kept thinking: "You don't need more insight. You need a plan."
That's where VALID Truths Coaching was born.
My Story
Here's what I know to be true: authenticity isn't something you build — it's something you uncover.
I grew up learning, like most of us, to quiet the parts of myself that didn't fit neatly into other people's expectations. I became excellent at reading rooms, adjusting my voice, and performing versions of myself that kept the peace. Sound familiar?
It took years of my own healing work — through education, clinical training, and honest self-reflection — to realize that the woman I kept trying to become was already there. She just needed permission to stop performing and start practicing.
That realization changed everything. It changed how I showed up in my relationships, how I parented, how I set boundaries, and eventually — how I built this coaching practice.
VALID Truths Coaching exists because I believe you already know who you are. You just need someone direct enough to help you name it, and structured enough to help you live it — daily, intentionally, without apology.
I coach high-functioning, emotionally intelligent women — especially those in seasons of identity change. You might be:
- Outgrowing old roles, relationships, or expectations that no longer fit
- Second-guessing decisions even though you know what you want
- Stuck between "I know better" and "I can't seem to move"
- Craving clarity, not just conversation
- Ready to stop carrying this alone
If you've done the inner work but struggle to turn insight into consistent action — my coaching is built for that exact gap.
Who I Work With
We don't just talk about what you want. We build a plan you'll actually follow.
My coaching is solution-focused — meaning we spend less time digging into why you're stuck and more time designing how you move forward. Every session ends with something concrete: a decision, a boundary, a next step.
Here's what that looks like:
- Clarity first — We name what's true for you right now, without judgment
- Skill-building — Practical tools for communication, boundaries, and decision-making
- Accountability — Gentle, consistent follow-through so insight becomes action
- Authenticity as practice — Not a destination, but a daily choice
