​G.R.I.T Life Coaching™

Welcome to G.R.I.T. Life Coaching.


I’m so glad you’re here. This space was built with the intention for people who have carried silent pain, over functioned for others, and are finally ready to put that energy into themselves. I coach with compassion, directness, and grace. You’ll be seen, heard, and held accountable, not to who the world wanted you to be, but to who you’re becoming.

Coaching that honors your pace and evolves with your journey.

Support that’s grounded in truth, not trends — built for lasting change.

Whole-person coaching for everything you carry and everything you’re building.

Coaching shaped around your pace, your needs, and your season.

You won’t be rushed, fixed, or pushed. Just fully supported, every step of the way.

G.R.I.T. Life Coaching

I get how heavy it can feel. Let’s unpack it together, one step at a time.​

About Me

I’m Tenae, your life coach and fellow survivor of what once felt unspoken and unhealed. I created G.R.I.T. Life Coaching for people who are tired of pretending to be okay. For the strong ones who never got a break, for those ready to drop the mask and finally do the inner work.

My coaching is rooted in Grace, Resilience, Insight, and Transformation. Whether you’re learning to forgive yourself, unpacking trauma, or stepping into your purpose, I’m here. This space is for you to feel safe, seen, and supported while doing the real work.

Let’s rewrite the story together.

Purpose Statement

I created G.R.I.T. Life Coaching for people like me — those who have carried heavy stories, hidden pain behind strength, and reached a point where survival just isn’t enough anymore.

My purpose is to help you heal with intention, forgive what’s behind you, and unlock the power of who you’re becoming. This coaching space is your place to get real, release weight, and rise.

Mission Statement

My mission through G.R.I.T. Life Coaching is to provide a safe, culturally aware, and soul-anchored space for individuals who are ready to do the work — those who’ve endured trauma, wrestled with identity, and still crave more.

I coach through the lens of grace and resilience, helping you unpack what no longer serves you, discover the insight within you, and walk fully into transformation. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress, purpose, and powerful healing.

G.R.I.T. Life Coaching

Grace. Resilience. Insight. Transformation.

I coach using the G.R.I.T. Method, a framework built for deep personal work and lasting transformation:

Testimonials

“When I met Coach Simmons; I was lost, struggling with the weight of childhood trauma and a toxic relationship that left me hollow. Her coaching didn’t just guide me; it gave me tools to rebuild. I learned how to set boundaries, process pain, and forgive without forgetting who I am. Now, I run my own wellness blog and finally feel free.”

Sanai M., 32

Baltimore, MD

“As a father and veteran, I carried guilt, anger, and unspoken grief. Coach Simmons held space for me to unpack years of pain. Her words were real... no fluff, just truth and strategy. I’ve found peace, reconnected with my kids, and even started mentoring young men in my neighborhood.”
