Success Stories

Here are just a few comments
from Lori’s personal coaching clients:

“Lori is an amazing coach.

She has assisted me in so many ways. She is very insightful, intuitive, discerning, creative, caring, helpful, giving…and so much more, but all in one package. I needed someone who was unbiased to give perspective and support in my life. Family and friends mean well, but are sometimes unable to provide the kind of reflection that a coach, like Lori, can provide. I thought I would just try coaching for 3 months, but I have found Lori to be such an amazing support and value to me that our coaching experience has extended to 9 months and continues. I am a mom, recording artist, and professional in healthcare. I really desired to define success strategies to pursue goals at a greater level. She has kept me on track and allowed me to experience her cheerleading too. She is faithful, responsive, and demonstrates lots of integrity with all her interactions. Well… that is just a little about my high regards for Lori’s services. I highly recommend Lori.”

“Coach Lori is wonderful to work with:

honest, professional and caring, with a great deal of expertise. It’s hard to put into words the inner balance and peace I have achieved from working with Lori. I am happier, more relaxed, and more focused on my goals in all areas of my life. I think the most helpful thing about working with Lori is the supportive and knowledgeable way she assists me on a path of increased self-awareness. I’ve grown from my work with Lori in many ways. I’m better at realizing my wants and needs and working towards them; I’m better at setting limits and saying “no” if I need to; I’m better at balancing all areas of my life to find harmony. One of my favorite pieces of advice from Coach Lori is to be “in the moment”. Sounds simple, but it’s not easy to do with conflicting demands and pressures. My coaching sessions have allowed me to work towards “being in the moment” and enjoying life to the fullest.”

I was a stay-at-home Mom stuck in the trenches.  I was bogged down with day-to-day tasks of kids and home, and needed to find myself. Lori helped me discover my needs and identify the activities that would make me feel better about myself as a Woman, not just a Mom. Most importantly, Lori helped me to brainstorm, to commit to new things, and she held me accountable so that I kept the promises I made to myself. Life went from busy to fulfilling as I started activities just for me, used babysitters more and took time to do the things I had been thinking about but never put into action! Within a couple months I was building new friendships, taking classes, and getting through the whole day with a smile. Through the experience of rediscovering my dreams and hearing the encouragement from Lori to just do it, I found more joy in all the things I do, even laundry, because I know time for me is scheduled too. Lori is a great listener with a can-do attitude and that rubbed off on me. Thank you Lori!”

Kristen Osterhaus – Aurora, IL (Work-at-home Mother of 2)


Lori is a very knowledgeable, well-rounded and supportive coach.  She is working with me on a wide range of both day-to-day and “big picture” issues. She offers everything from practical techniques to better manage my time and discipline my two-year-old to approaches to spark my creativity and help me articulate my needs and passions in life. I really enjoy our sessions and leave each one with useful advice and tools that I can use every day.”

Dana R. – Naperville, IL (Working Mother of 2)


Working with Lori has made a tremendous difference in my life.  She makes me feel so supported without any judgments. It is a lot to go on the journey to live an authentic life and knowing that she’s my companion, cheerleader and confidante is so, so heartening. She champions me and helps me to see hope and possibility when I doubt myself. She holds my best self up for me to see when I start to forget or doubt who I am. Lori is so sincere and so happy for me when I reach a milestone. I know, no matter what, that she’s really there for me and wants to see me live out my truth.”

Debbie H. – Montclair, NJ (Work-at-home and Single Mom of 1)


Working with Lori has been extraordinary.  I have been able to accomplish goals that I had not been able to accomplish on my own. I have been able to be more disciplined in my daily life and I feel better about myself as a result. Thank you Lori!”

Danielle K. – Roselle, IL (Work-at-home Mom of 1)


I came to Lori in search of a “balanced life”, having difficulty finding time for all parts of my life including myself. Having to reestablish and focus on priorities with her in a non-judgmental way has been a wonderful experience. At every meeting with her, Lori helps eliminate or tackle any obstacles in our path. I’d strongly encourage anyone to work with Lori interested in reducing stress, in overcoming challenges, and simply leading a happier life.”

Lydia Burch – Naperville, IL (Working Mother of 2)


Lori has helped me sort through my very busy life and all the “stuff” that surrounds us – family, friends, neighbors, to do’s, bills, jobs, etc. Coaching has helped me pull out and keep what is important to me: my inner being and my priorities. After a call, I feel renewed in the direction I am taking to fulfill my personal goals. I feel I know “who I am” much more. I am a calmer, happier person.”

Maureen McCoy – Elmhurst, IL (Stay-at-home Mother of 4)


Bringing a coach into your life is a tool for success. Working with a life coach enables you to sift through the sand, opens your mind to possibilities, and gives you an objective voice in your personal and professional life. Life is a journey, you steer the ship, and your coach works with you through the rapids to help you find those possibilities. If it is important to you to feel accepted and heard, then Lori is the coach for you.”

Sue – Illinois (Writer, Artist, Wife and Mother)


Working with Lori Radun as my coach has made a dramatic change in my life. We worked together to set specific, achievable goals in the areas I identified as needy. Together, we developed a step-by-step plan to achieve those goals. Lori assisted me in seeing both the ‘big picture’ and the weekly ‘little steps’ that would get me to where I wanted to be.

What I especially appreciate in Lori is her psychology background. She is able to ask me the ‘tough’ questions, to guide me through the maze of my own mental roadblocks to accomplishing my goals. She is a cheerleader when I move forward and a problem-solver when I’m stuck.

Another aspect of working with Lori that I appreciate is her availability. Whether by phone, e-mail or in person – she is 100% focused on my situation and me. I receive prompt callbacks or e-mail responses that indicate there is a caring, supportive person at the other end, who is truly in my corner!”

Janet K. – Naperville, IL (Empty Nester Mom of 3)


Lori is a great coach to work with. No matter what obstacle I felt was in my path, Lori helped me figure out what steps I could take to make the changes I desired. Whether it was with my kids (she’s got lots of great tips for parents!), my spouse, or figuring out my next career path, Lori has a way of asking just the right thought provoking question to help me see other possibilities. She’s extremely supportive and genuinely interested in my success. In the short time I’ve worked with her, I have gone from feeling like I was mired in a deep rut to feeling optimistic about my plans for the future. I feel like it was Lori’s support and encouragement that helped me make that transition.”

Christy P. – Fishers, IN (Working Mom of 3)


Lori is a loving and caring coach while being a person of integrity and strength. She has been such an inspiration to me, as a coach and as a speaker, for her ability to stay with the plan and create results, while inspiring and motivating others to grow. I recommend her services to anyone who is looking for a coach who will create the necessary action to make things happen.”

Aline V. – Naperville, IL


I just wanted to write a short note of thanks for providing me with a valuable, insightful, and inspirational coaching experience. You were always able to see the best in me, even when I did not see the best in myself. Through your positive and empowering process, you were able to keep me on track with my goals and stretch me to reach higher. Your spiritual strength provided a wonderful reinforcement to my own faith, and helped me explore how I can draw on my faith as a foundation and as a guide. And to top it off, we had a lot of fun in the process!”

What audiences are saying about The Momnificent!® Coach:

“Thank you for the wonderful presentation you gave at our MOPS meeting.

I know you sparked some very positive discussion at my table, and I heard many others as well. I think as moms we all walk around with a lot of guilt and talking about it helps us to realize which guilt is valid and which is invalid. I found your talk to be very helpful and have since released myself from some of the guilt I was feeling. We look forward to continuing our work at MOPS. This ministry really reaches out to moms in need of guidance and encouragement from speakers such as yourself. Thanks again for your time and great presentation. The positive feedback has been overwhelming.”

Cindy Venckus – Christ Church of Oakbrook, Illinois

“Both our MOPS group and our Women’s Ministries group have been blessed to have Lori Radun as a speaker at several gatherings.

She has graciously tailored her presentations to connect with our women from young mothers to career women, empty nesters and senior ladies alike. We’ve always found Lori’s presentations relevant and useful. Most importantly, however, we have asked Lori back repeatedly as she is a woman with a passion for the message she has to share. She is very inspiring!”

Kristi Schild – Northwest Covent Church, Mount Prospect, Illinois

“I absolutely loved this speaker!

I learned so much and realized that I need to reprioritize some things! Thank you so much for this great speaker!”

“It was wonderful having you speak to our group today. For me it was a very timely topic that I definitely needed to hear. I am a very organized person and as of late it seems that I have had to be very flexible and adaptive to situations at the drop of a hat. This has been a challenge for me. I do feel guilt a lot. Especially when I am not perfect with all the high expectations I put on myself. I will definitely use your tips on making sure whether it is invalid or valid guilt and to release that guilt with your five step process. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us. I look forward to being able to have you come back.”

“I had the opportunity to attend Lori Radun’s seminar on Guilt Free Parenting. It was such a good feeling to walk away with a better understanding of myself. It motivated me to set new goals that would help me to be the kind of parent I envisioned myself as. It was also great to feel the support of other women with the same experiences. Lori’s perspective helped me to realize there are simple solutions.”

Natalee (Mother of 3 – Batavia, IL)


“Thanks Lori for giving your inspirational talk today. I am using the information that you gave me to make better choices already! Thank you so much again.”

Liz Smith – Chicago Illinois


“I have attended Lori’s workshops, and brought friends with me. Her presentations are interactive, enjoyable and enlightening. As a result of seeing my progress, I have 2 friends who signed on with Lori for coaching. Although their areas of need are different, they too are moving towards their goals.”

Janet Kuo – Naperville, IL


“Thanks for what you do. Your talk on GUILT was great. I know I came away with some tools that are simple and make sense. I also came away encouraged just hearing your own experiences with motherhood and knowing I’m not alone. I’m sure other women in our group were encouraged too, and that’s what MOPS is all about.”

Elaine Smith


“Thank you so much for coming today. I got so much out of your talk and your resources were exceptional!”

Her workshop helped me to shift my thinking and make some healthy choices to balance out my responsibilities as a mom, wife and individual. Thank you Lori!”

The Lighten Your Load Program was a wonderful investment of both time and money. Coach Lori knew exactly what topics to cover that would be most relevant and beneficial to women and moms.
