Life Coach
Presented by Bonnie Prestridge,
Life Coach for Young People with Health Conditions
I help teens and young adults live their best lives with an illness, injury, or other health condition. This includes navigating undergraduate and graduate level education.
I won't sugarcoat it, completing a degree when you have a serious health condition is HARD. It may even feel impossible.
I can't remove all your barriers, but I CAN equip you with skills, strategies, and resources to reduce their impact so that you can be successful and build a fulfilling life.

What to expect...
Ever been to a webinar where the presenter just drones on and on as your mind slowly melts?
Or the concepts maybe work for other people but don't account for your unique situation?
​
Or they promise to answer your questions, but only leave 3 hurried minutes at the end?
​
​
Not. My. Style.
Expect a lively webinar on concrete knowledge that you can immediately apply to your unique situation.
I’ll engage with your questions throughout the presentation, in addition to dedicated Q&A time at the end.
1 hour and 30 minutes
Automatic closed captions on during the presentation.
