You’re not lost, and you’re not alone.
Find companionship, hope, inspiration and guidance in the in-between.
When The Ground Shifts Below You
There are moments in life that change everything.
- A diagnosis
- A loss
- A divorce
- An accident
- A sudden ending you didn’t choose
These are life quakes—the times that shake us to the core. Our old life doesn’t fit, and a new one isn’t clear. We feel lost between different versions of ourselves.
We ask:
- Who am I?
- What do I need?
- What truly matters?
- What do I do next?
Faced with confusion, sadness, anger, even shame, we can turn away—numb out, push through, pretend we’re fine.
Or…
We can be still.
Present to what’s happening.
Present to ourselves.
Present to something deeper moving through it all.
And in that presence, something unexpected begins to emerge:
- A deeper, more grounded sense of who we are.
- Clarity
- Meaning
Sit beside me, and together we’ll explore how to:
- See your life from a wider lens—and uncover meaning in what you’re going through.
- Reconnect with and express your deeper, more authentic self.
- Grow in compassion—for yourself and others.
- Find a sense of peace, even when nothing feels resolved.

A Personal Note from Randy
I know what it’s like to be stuck in that in-between space—what I call “the belly of the whale.”
Coming out, divorce, a devasting bike accident, the state of the world today…
In an instant, everything changes.
I am someone who likes to solve, act, and move speedily forward.
But life kept demanding something different:
Patience. Trust. Surrender.
So I sat.
I waited.
I listened.
Life as I knew it is gone.
And strangely… that’s okay.
Because I’ve come to trust
that even here—especially here—
new life is quietly being formed,
and all shall be well; all shall be well.
One-on-One
Part tomb, part womb, an incubator for becoming
“You have brought a sense of clarity that supported me in making one of the most challenging decisions in my life…. All the years of wondering what my purpose is, how to put my skills together, and when will I feel fulfilled are now behind me.”
This isn’t therapy. It’s a blend of coaching, mentoring, and spiritual direction—designed to help you navigate an important transition with clarity, depth, and purpose.
Together, we explore the psychological and the spiritual to uncover your Soul Print—a living map of who you are and how you’re here to contribute.
Like a fingerprint, your Soul Print reflects your unique way of being and making a difference in the world. It may include:
- Your core strengths and gifts
- Defining attributes and patterns
- Core values
- Key roles and archetypes you embody
- Stumbling blocks that may be holding you back
- What energizes you—and what depletes you
- Your personal theology or spiritual framework
- Your sense of calling
We’ll also identify practical ways to:
- Put what matters most, first
- Cultivate inner peace—regardless of external circumstances
- Deepen compassion for yourself and others
- Strengthen your connection to inner guidance
- Bring more clarity, passion and purpose into your life
What is a Soul Print?
A Soul Print isn’t something you can hold in your hands—it’s something you experience.
It’s a brief, often fleeting, encounter with the Divine—a moment infused with joy, where you feel fully loved, deeply whole, and intimately connected to all of creation. These moments leave an imprint. They become inner markers you can return to—reminders of who you truly are.
Soul Print experiences don’t have to be dramatic or life-altering. They’re not always “Road to Damascus” moments—though those do happen. I’ve known people who’ve experienced profound states of unity in extraordinary settings.
But more often, they’re quiet.
In my own life, they’ve come in simple, sacred ways—like standing in awe of a sunrise during a morning walk along the beach. In those moments, I’ve felt something unmistakable…as if God’s hand were gently resting on my back. It’s a feeling I return to often—a reminder that I am never alone.
Many of the most powerful Soul Print experiences arise when we feel truly seen—when we are known, understood, and loved just as we are. I’ve been fortunate to receive that kind of presence from two mentors in my life. It changed me. And now, it’s what I offer to others.
In discovering your Soul Print, we’ll name and explore the essential elements of your authentic self—your gifts, your strengths, your core values, and your deepest passions. That clarity matters.
But even more than that, my hope is this:
That you come to see your own beauty, your inherent wholeness, and the quiet greatness within you—reflected back through a compassionate, attuned presence.
And if you can’t fully receive that yet, that’s okay.
I’ll hold that knowing for you…until you can.
The Ideal Client
This work is for people in transition who sense that their current path is no longer fully aligned with who they’re becoming. I have a specific expertise working with those who are in career, midlife, or third act (age 70+), transitions.
Whatever upheaval you’re facing, the questions are often the same: Who am I now? What is my story? Where do I go from here? Such times are pivotal moments when the most learning takes place, and we’re presented unparalleled opportunities to revise our lives to stand in our power and become a fuller expression of all we are.
You likely consider yourself spiritual (though not necessarily religious). While my background is rooted in Christianity, I honor all traditions as expressions of the same underlying divine reality.
You value self-awareness and have already done some inner work—through therapy, coaching, or your own study of personal growth and spiritual development.
If this speaks to you, I offer three ways in which we might work together.
How I Work
Virtual Six-Session Intensive (By Phone)
$1,450
We’ll begin with an intake session to set goals and expectations.
Over the next four weeks, we’ll meet once a week for an hour-long session.
You may have several reflective exercises to complete in between sessions.
At the end of each session, you’ll receive a summary of our work.
After the final session, we’ll schedule a check-in session for the following month.
The best place to begin is a simple conversation. Email me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute call. No obligation, just an honest exchange.
Three-Day Personal Retreat in Asheville, NC or Saint Simons Island, GA
$1,890
We’ll begin with a one-hour intake session by phone to set goals and expectations.
We will then schedule the three-day retreat in Asheville, North Carolina or Saint Simons Island, Georgia, depending on the time of the year.
For the first two days, we’ll meet for two, two-hour intensive sessions: one in the morning, the other in the afternoon. You’ll have several reflective exercises to complete in between sessions.
On the last day, we’ll have one session in the morning.
You have the freedom to choose your own lodging and meals. I’ll be happy to recommend my favorite spots.
After our time together, we’ll schedule two check-in sessions by phone to take place over the next four weeks.
The best place to begin is a simple conversation. Email me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute call. No obligation, just an honest exchange.
Mentoring
“You have the rare ability to open your heart, listen intently, and then respond with compassion and clarity.”
My work as a mentor is grounded in decades of experience as a communications and leadership author, coach, and workshop leader. I’ve trained more than a thousand professionals worldwide, including participants in the University of Georgia MBA program, State Farm Insurance and the Recording Academy (The Grammy Awards). That work produced a proprietary process rooted in psychology, sociology, and business principles that became the subject of my book, Engineer Your Career: Build Your Best Self Blueprint. Together, we’ll explore the deeper questions of identity, meaning, and purpose and determine how you can better present yourself to the world. Perhaps most importantly, I hold a mirror up to your gifts, your greatness, and your potential — and won’t let you look away.
To provide a high level of support I usually limit the number of mentees to two or three at a given time. Most work with me over four, one-hour sessions by phone. Between sessions, you can expect up to an hour of homework.
Mentees are expected to totally commit to the process, including keeping all appointments, showing up on time, and completing homework assignments by agreed-upon deadlines.
Fee: There is no fee, but I do ask that you “play it forward” in a way that feels meaningful to you.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Apply by sending an email with a brief note explaining why this work feels relevant for you at this time. From there, we’ll explore if we have a good fit.
Workshops
Randy hosts several workshops throughout the year for those at life’s turning points. Two favorites are featured below, If you’d like to hear about future offerings, drop a note to Link2Randy@gmail.com
Active Hope: From Overwhelm to Purpose in Uncertain Times
One Session / Three-Hours
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure where to turn — you’re not alone. The world feels heavy right now. And the questions are real:
Where is hope? Can I make a difference? What is mine to do?
This workshop won’t offer quick fixes or easy answers. It will offer something more lasting: a deeper, more grounded hope, one that moves you from paralysis to purpose.
In our time together, you’ll:
- Gain a broader, more empowering perspective on what’s happening in the world
- Transform overwhelm into clarity, purpose, and direction
- Discern what is uniquely yours to do in this moment
- Step into your role as a steady, hope-filled presence in a world that needs you
“As spiritual people, we are called to be beacons of hope — vision keepers for a brighter future — and to become the change we want to see.”
— Randy Siegel
Aging Gracefully: Aging as Spiritual
Six Sessions | Two Hours Each | Weekly
Our culture is obsessed with aging gracefully — the appearance, the performance, the fight against time. But there’s a deeper invitation available to us.
Aging with grace dives beneath the surface into the psychological and spiritual dimensions of growing older that our culture rarely talks about. When we go there, something shifts: the physical and societal concerns that once felt urgent begin to lose their grip.
In this six-week journey, we’ll share our fears and joys about aging, explore the beauty of life’s ages and stages, and discover how to bring more love, peace, and meaning to this remarkable season of life.
Participants are highly encouraged to commit to all six sessions.

From the HeART
Program Overview
From The HeART partners with organizations that help individuals and families move into new housing after a major life transition—such as homelessness, illness, domestic upheaval, natural disaster, or other crisis. We provide a small collection of framed, original paintings to offer as housewarming gifts to those they serve.
These are more than decorative objects. Each piece is intended as a marker of transition—a tangible expression of hope, dignity, and the possibility of a new beginning.
There is no cost to the organization. Organizations may distribute in any way that best serves its clients.
Why It Matters
For those starting over, a new space can feel uncertain—temporary, unfamiliar, even empty. A single piece of original art can change that. It helps transform a space into something more than shelter—home.
Each painting offers:
- Dignity — something beautiful, meaningful, and lasting to call one’s own
- Belonging — a quiet signal that you are home now
- Hope — a reminder that even after hardship, life can hold beauty and meaning
Research shows that visual art can elevate mood, reduce stress, and support emotional well-being. But beyond research, this gesture communicates something deeper:
You are seen.
You are valued.
You are welcome here.
