The Overcomer Experience
Recognize. Release. Heal. Become
About
I’m Frederica Tokponwey, author of Overcomer Unleashed: Persevering Beyond the Myth of a Superwoman, empowerment coach, speaker, mentor, and retired police sergeant with more than 20 years of leadership and service experience.
My work is deeply rooted in both professional and lived experience. After navigating childhood trauma, significant loss, leadership in demanding environments, motherhood, widowhood, and my own healing journey, I learned an important truth: functioning and healing are not the same thing.
Today, I help women who have spent years being “the strong one” take off the cape, rediscover themselves, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
My coaching approach combines compassion, transparency, accountability, and practical action. I create a safe space for women to examine what may be keeping them stuck, recognize their strengths, establish healthier boundaries, and intentionally pursue what comes next. For women who desire it, faith and biblical principles can also be incorporated into our work.
I will encourage you, but I will also challenge you, because I believe transformation requires both grace and accountability.
My goal isn't to create another Superwoman. It is to help you discover the woman underneath the cape and give her permission to live unleashed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching
Coaching is a collaborative process designed to help you gain clarity, identify what may be keeping you stuck, set meaningful goals, and take intentional steps forward. I provide a supportive space where you can reflect, be challenged, and develop practical strategies for growth.
Who is your coaching for?
My coaching is for women who are ready to move beyond simply functioning and begin living with greater confidence, clarity, authenticity, and purpose. You may be navigating a transition, struggling with boundaries, rediscovering yourself, or realizing that being “the strong one” is no longer serving you.
What happens during the free Discovery Call?
The Discovery Call is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss what brings you to coaching, explore what you would like to accomplish, and determine whether working together is a good fit. There is no pressure or obligation to continue.
What is the 60-Minute Unleashed Breakthrough Session?
This is a focused, one-on-one coaching session designed to help you identify a specific challenge, uncover what may be keeping you stuck, gain clarity, and determine practical next steps. You should leave the session with greater direction and an intentional path forward.
Do I have to commit to a long-term coaching program?
No. You can begin with a single Breakthrough Session. If you decide that you would benefit from deeper or ongoing support, we can discuss additional coaching options that align with your goals.
Is your coaching faith-based?
My personal values and approach are grounded in my Christian faith. For clients who desire it, prayer, Scripture, and biblical principles can be incorporated into our sessions. However, you do not have to share my faith to work with me. You will always be treated with dignity and respect.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is not therapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. While past experiences may naturally come up during our conversations, our coaching work focuses primarily on personal growth, clarity, goals, accountability, and moving forward. When a concern is outside the scope of coaching, I will encourage you to seek support from an appropriately licensed professional.
What can I expect from you as my coach?
You can expect compassion, honesty, encouragement, accountability, and a judgment-free space to show up authentically. I will celebrate your progress, ask meaningful questions, and challenge you when necessary. My role is not to make your decisions for you, but to help you become clearer and more confident in making them for yourself.
What do you expect from me?
Come willing to be honest, open to reflection, and prepared to take responsibility for your growth. You don't have to have everything figured out. You simply need to be willing to show up and do the work.
What if I’ve spent most of my life being “the strong one”?
Then you are in the right place. Strength may have helped you survive, achieve, lead, and care for everyone around you. But you shouldn't have to carry everything alone. This is a space where you can begin taking off the cape, examining what is underneath it, and discovering who you are beyond what everyone else needs you to be.
How do I know if I’m ready for coaching?
You don't need to have all the answers. You may simply know that something needs to change. If you are willing to examine where you are, consider where you want to go, and take intentional steps toward getting there, coaching may be a powerful next step.
Where do I start?
Start with Uncape & Connect, my complimentary Discovery Call. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re looking for, and whether I’m the right coach to support your next chapter.
