About Us

Life coaching is about looking inside and seeing what’s there. All of it.  The good, the bad and the ugly. When someone looks inside and identifies areas in their life they would like to change, if often comes with roadblocks to change. That feeling of “being stuck” can be hard to change.  How many times have you heard someone say “if I knew how to change, I would!”? 

Julie Beneke, the owner of Good Seeds Life Coaching, had been feeling a pull to make a change in her life. She just did not know how, or what, to change. She knew what she enjoyed and what she was passionate about. She just did not know how to parlay that into a new career. A friend of hers asked Julie if she’d ever considered becoming a life coach Minneapolis MN. That started her on this new path of Good Seeds Life Coaching. 

Julie has been a full time Realtor since 2008 and has experienced the stresses of changing real estate markets over the years. With this knowledge, she helps Realtors recapture their passion and purpose by looking at and exploring wrong assumptions, limiting beliefs, procrastination, putting systems in place and identifying negative self-talk.  As a Life Coach Minneapolis MN, Julie helps Realtors reach to be their best.​ Julie had a real AH-HA moment when a Realtor friend of hers mentioned they wished they had a purpose in life.  This was a very successful Realtor and Julie was surprised that they felt like they had no purpose. As a life coach Minneapolis MN, Julie knew she could help that friend rediscover their passion and purpose.  And Good Seeds Life Coaching was born!

In a recent conversation with a successful Realtor, Julie asked the Realtor what challenges they were currently facing.  The answer did not surprise her: boundaries and systems. Most people, but Realtors especially, believe they must be available whenever someone contacts them. 

By having a great session with her Realtor client, Julie, as their life coach Minneapolis MN, was able to have the client look at what areas in their life they currently had no boundaries and where appropriate and healthy boundaries could be implemented. It was an insightful session for the client. Lots of “connecting the dots”. 

The other area of the client’s life that caused them stress was a lack of systems. The client mentioned that they just went from one fire to the next.  By working on the Systems tool exercise, the client was able to see where they could make changes to be more proactive, work differently, and be more effective in their business. The client was able to see why their passion was waning. They simply didn’t have the mental, emotional or physical stamina to continue.  Business as usual just was not working any more.

This is one way Julie stays current with her Life Coach Minneapolis MN business: having conversations on what really matters to her clients and where they need the most, immediate life coaching.

Julie has also attended a women’s support group, Women of Worth, for the past 8 years and co-facilitating the group for the past 5 years.  This support group is designed to help women, whose family members are in addiction, thrive, not just survive challenging life situations by exploring boundaries, co-dependency and enabling. Julie dealt with this very issue in her own life when her fiancée confessed he was an alcoholic. However, he wasn’t ready to seek help or sobriety.  Julie joined Women of Worth to learn how to manage a life with an addict. She learned so much about herself! Specifically, about boundaries and how healthy good boundaries are. Once Julie started her life coach Minneapolis MN program, she realized she had been “unofficially” life coaching the women of the support group for years.  She just didn’t know it. It has been a natural progression for her to life coach Minneapolis MN women who are dealing with family members who have addiction issues.

They tell you in Life Coaching school that you will be your first client. . . . and they are correct. Deciding to become a life coach Minneapolis MN was a great decision for Julie. And, it showed her the areas where she had wrong assumptions, perspectives, limited beliefs and negative self-talk. She learned first hand the power of life coaching by being life coached by her classmates. Julie learned multiple tools to help her clients identify harmful behaviors and negative thought patterns. Some of her favorite tools are Future Self and Inner Critic. By using a series of powerful questions, Julie was able to explore her emotions and feelings on a deeper level.  Trusting herself and the life coach Minneapolis MN process gave her the tools needed to make positive changes in her life in order to thrive, not just survive. That’s the power of life coach Minneapolis MN.
