Carla R. Cannon-Lawrence (Coach C)
You don't have to keep surviving what happened to you. I help you heal unresolved trauma, reconnect with your authentic identity, and break unhealthy patterns through trauma-informed coaching, inner child work, practical coping strategies, and identity reconstruction.
About
You Don't Have to Carry It All Alone.
If you're here, chances are life has left a few scars. Whether you're navigating childhood wounds, relationship challenges, identity struggles, grief, betrayal, or religious trauma, know this: YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
You may have found yourself here because...
- You're tired of repeating the same relationship patterns.
- You struggle with people-pleasing, anxiety, or self-doubt.
- You're grieving who you thought you'd become.
- Childhood wounds still affect your relationships today.
- You're healing from betrayal, religious trauma, or family dysfunction.
- You feel disconnected from yourself.
- You're ready to stop surviving and finally start living.
If any of these resonate with you, you're in the right place.
Meet Coach Carla
If you're here, chances are life has left a few scars. Trust me, I understand because I've walked my own healing journey too. Healing isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about understanding how it shaped you, releasing what no longer serves you, and reclaiming who you were always meant to be.
I'm Carla R. Cannon-Lawrence, though most people know me as Coach C. As a Trauma Recovery & Identity Reconstruction Coach, bestselling author, podcast host, and founder of Trailblazer Coaching & Consulting, I've spent more than 15 years helping people heal emotional wounds, rebuild their identity, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others.

How We'll Work Together
HEAL: We'll identify the emotional wounds, beliefs, and survival patterns that continue to impact your life today.
REBUILD: Together, we'll strengthen your sense of identity, develop healthier coping strategies, and replace old patterns with new ways of thinking and living.
THRIVE: You'll leave with greater confidence, healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and practical tools to continue your healing long after our work together.
Why Clients Choose Me
I don't believe you're broken. I believe your survival strategies made sense for what you've been through. Healing begins when you understand why those strategies developed and intentionally choose new ones that align with the life you're creating today.
Ways We Can Work Together
- Individual Coaching
- Couples Coaching (via Lawrence Life Coaching)
- Healing Conversations Community (HCC)
You may be here because you're struggling with...
- Healing emotional wounds from your past
- People-pleasing and difficulty setting healthy boundaries
- Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
- Low self-worth, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic
- Fear, shame, guilt, rejection, or abandonment wounds
- Navigating life transitions or feeling disconnected from who you are
- Learning to trust yourself and love yourself again
- Breaking unhealthy cycles and creating lasting change
I help you get clear on 3 things:
- WHAT YOU'RE CARRYING: The unresolved pain, limiting beliefs, emotional wounds, and survival patterns that continue to shape your life.
- WHAT IT'S COSTING YOU: How those wounds are impacting your relationships, confidence, emotional well-being, and ability to fully show up as yourself.
- WHO YOU CAN BECOME AS YOU HEAL: We'll help you reconnect with your authentic identity, build healthier patterns, and create a life rooted in peace, purpose, and emotional freedom.
You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply ready for something different, your healing journey doesn't have to begin with all the answers. It just begins with a conversation.

Together, we’ll slow down long enough to explore what’s really beneath the stress, confusion, emotional exhaustion, or disconnection you may be experiencing.

Trailblazer Coaching Package I
There are seasons in life where you appear strong on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what you truly need.
You may be carrying the weight of past experiences, unhealthy relationship patterns, people pleasing, self-doubt, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else. This experience is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin creating healthier internal patterns that support emotional healing, self-awareness, confidence, and intentional growth.
This work is not about perfection or pressure, it’s about helping you feel more connected to yourself, more emotionally grounded, and more equipped to move through life with intention rather than survival mode.
Trailblazer Coaching Package II (MOST POPULAR)
This coaching package is strategically designed for individuals who are ready to transition beyond temporary motivation and begin doing the deeper inner work required for lasting healing, emotional growth, and personal transformation.
If you’ve spent years surviving, carrying emotional pain in silence, struggling with unhealthy patterns, questioning your worth, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this coaching journey creates intentional space for you to slow down, heal, and rebuild from the inside out. Lasting transformation happens through intentional support, honest reflection, emotional safety, and the willingness to show up for yourself in new ways over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or repeating the same emotional or relationship patterns, this work is for you. I help women who are ready to heal, break cycles, and rebuild their identity with clarity and confidence.
What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching focuses on helping you move forward by breaking patterns, gaining clarity, and creating change in your life. While I am trauma-informed, I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If you need clinical support, I recommend working with a licensed therapist alongside coaching if needed.
What results can I expect from working with you?
You can expect greater emotional awareness, stronger boundaries, clearer decision-making, and a deeper sense of identity. Most importantly, you’ll stop surviving and start living in alignment with who you truly are.
How does the coaching process work?
We work together through guided conversations, emotional processing, and practical tools designed to help you heal, shift patterns, and rebuild your identity. Depending on the offer, this may be through 1:1 coaching or structured programs.
How do I get started?
The first step is simple. Choose the package that best fits your needs. You can book a 1:1 session or enroll in my Journey to Finding Me experience to begin your healing and transformation.
