Kathy Rushing, M.S. Founder, Lodestar Relationship Coaching

Your past doesn't define your future

About

Experience

I have worked for over 30 years as a Licensed Marriage & Family therapist in California and Texas.

In 2023, I launched Lodestar Relationship Coaching to 
bring a wealth of relationship resources & strategies to help growth-minded adults experience more fulfilling relationships. As a coach (not currently licensed) I'm able to work with clients virtually anywhere. 
For example: 

  • Couples--dating, married/committed
  • Individuals seeking to experience their full potential in life and love
  • Business partners 
  • Family members experiencing conflict

Couples work


"What is the secret to a loving, long-term marriage?"
I hear this a lot, especially when people discover that Mark & I have been married for over 40 years (we married as babies!)

Never stop working on your relationship.

That sounds easy, but where do you turn when the relationship falls into a rut, or life brings challenges you couldn't have imagined when you fell in love?
While I work with all kinds of couples, my sweet spot is entrepreneur couples. 

When one or both (heaven help you) are entrepreneurs, there are unique challenges that come from growing a business. My love of 40+ years is a serial entrepreneur. We've been through it all. I get the challenges of market changes, staffing challenges, revenue shortfall (when everyone gets paid BUT us!), or the loss of a business. And we have enjoyed seasons when we could celebrate big accomplishments.

Individual Coaching


Whether your partner is hesitant to come to couples sessions, or you have areas that are keeping you from experiencing the life you imagine, I work with individuals to create change for themselves. Changing one part of the system (yourself) has a ripple effect in all your relationships. 


I believe:


🧡 Equipping couples with tools for a thriving relationship is essential
🧡 In providing a safe space to hold the relationship as you explore ways to reconnect, dream, and take another step towards a lifetime of love  
🧡 Repair is possible when both people commit to doing their part
🧡 Everyone is worthy of feeling seen, heard, and respected
🧡 Your past doesn't define your future.
 
Here, you will find the various ways to work with me. Let's get started! 

Note: I offer in-person and virtual settings to accommodate your schedule and preference. Those options are noted for each offering.
