What makes Anita Russell with The Place to SOAR a good neighbor?  What does it take to completely reinvent yourself after decades in a successful career? Anita Russell's remarkable journey from pharmaceutical research scientist to transformative life coach reveals the power of taking bold steps toward authentic purpose.As founder of The Place to Soar (where SOAR stands for "step out and redesign"), Anita specializes in guiding clients through personal transformation – helping them bridge the gap between their current reality and desired future. Her approach centers on thought-provoking questions rather than prescriptive advice, creating those breakthrough moments when clients exclaim, "I never thought about it like that!"While primarily working with established professional women seeking clarity in their careers and lives, Anita's impact extends far beyond individual coaching. Following George Floyd's murder in 2020, she launched the Inflection Point Podcast and developed an anti-racism workshop approaching this challenging topic through a personal transformation lens. Rather than confrontational activism, she facilitates gentle but honest self-examination, helping individuals recognize internal patterns and determine how they want to change – change that can ripple outward to transform organizations and communities."A life coach is not in the business of telling you what you should do," Anita explains. "A life coach is in the business of helping you discover what you should do." This collaborative partnership creates the space where development and growth happen, guided by each client's own desires and critical self-reflection.Deeply rooted in faith and community, Anita balances her transformative work with family time and involvement with the Ujamaa Collective. Her ultimate mission resonates in her closing thoughts: "Whatever it is you're facing, that's what I will help you to walk through so that you can ultimately cross that bridge from where you are to where you truly desire to be."Ready to discover your place to soar?
