Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Approach
What we do and why it’s different
-
Not at all. In fact, starting here with no previous experience can be a beautiful place to begin. We’ll meet you where you are and guide you step by step.
-
Many coaching programs are prescriptive. They tell you what to do. We don’t. At 43Pearls, everything we do is co-created with you. No two people are alike, and neither are our engagements with our clients.
Because you’re part of the process, the solutions you uncover are more likely to stick. We focus on helping you uncover patterns, shift perspectives, and build skills that lead to real, lasting change. Our work goes beyond setting goals; it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating relationships, habits, and outcomes that truly align with who you are.
-
You’ve probably heard of emotional intelligence, which is about knowing and managing your own feelings. Relational intelligence takes it further. It’s about what happens between people. It’s how you communicate, make agreements, handle conflict, and build trust. It’s the capacity to understand yourself and others — and using that insight to create stronger, more meaningful relationships. Strengthening relational intelligence doesn’t just change how you relate to people. It changes how you move through the world.
-
Yes. We tailor every experience to you. If hypnotherapy, energy work or metaphysical healing would support your growth, we can include those. If you’d rather focus on coaching and conversation, we can do that too. Every plan is co-created based on what will serve you best.
Who We Work With
People, couples, families, teams, and coaches
-
Yes, we work with all three. With individuals, our work often focuses on self-awareness, confidence, and communication. With couples, we help strengthen understanding, improve conflict resolution, and deepen connection. With teams—whether in a business or athletic setting—we focus on communication, trust, collaboration, and shared goals.
-
Because your personality and patterns shape the way you coach. When you understand how you show up (and how that impacts your clients) you’re able to step out of your own way and support them more effectively. Building relational intelligence helps coaches listen better, communicate more clearly, and support clients toward their deeper breakthroughs.
-
We help teams identify the dynamics that are getting in the way… like conflict, ego, or lack of trust. Then, we walk through the tools that help you communicate clearly, resolve challenges quickly, and work toward a shared vision. The result is more collaboration, stronger morale, and higher performance.
-
Yes. We design custom workshops and retreats focused on connection, communication, leadership, and growth. All our workshops and retreats are tailored to the unique needs of your group.
-
Absolutely. We’ll work closely with you to understand your culture, goals, and challenges. Then we will build a program designed to help your leaders and teams thrive.
Working Together
What to expect, logistics, and next steps
-
It depends on your goals. Some clients work with us for a single session to create a quick shift. Most choose a longer journey, spanning weeks or months, to support deeper transformation. We’ll discuss the best approach during your discovery call.
-
Completely. Everything shared in our sessions stays private. This is a safe space for vulnerability and growth.
-
In most cases, we’ll both meet with you during the discovery session. After that, all of us will decide together what’s best — sessions with one of us, or with both. You’re never obligated to work in a way that doesn’t feel right for you.
-
You only pay for the time you spend with us. Pricing depends on the format and length of the engagement, and we’ll outline all options clearly before you begin.
-
Most of our work is online, so we can support clients anywhere. If you’re local to the San Diego area, or if you would like to bring us to your location, we can also meet in person.
