About Us

 

Family On The Edge is an Individual and Family Relationship Coaching practice that was born from the synergistic friendship and business partnership of Carol Satterlee and Lisa Fairchild.

Family on the Edge is the best way we have found to merge our interest, values and skills in a way that contributes and enhances the very thing that both of us hold dearest to our hearts — our relationships with our family.

At Family on the Edge we recognize that family means both those we are related to and those we have chosen to have in our lives. We believe that at the core of healthy and vibrant family relationships is the relationship we have with ourselves and our willingness to learn and grow from our experiences, even those that challenge our very being.

My belief is that at the core of everyone’s life is the quality of his or her relationships. And, ultimately, everything in life is a relationship; the most important being the one you have with yourself. My coaching focuses on providing objectivity. This is one of the most difficult perspectives to receive from family members, though it is the key to tending to and mending relationships.

My family experienced its own crisis when our 17-year-old daughter developed an eating disorder. We learned what a secretive and isolating disease it can be, leaving a person to carry such a heavy burden alone. We acknowledge her for taking that first important step; to come to us for help. For months this crisis turned our family’s world upside down. We had to face a lot of things together, particularly when she was placed into a residential treatment facility.

Today we are in the process of recovery as we all seek to discover and practice the life-long coping skills each of us will need to implement into our lives. If you are interested in reading more about our personal experience, take a look: http://familyontheedge.com/blog/.

I received my coaching certification through International Coach Academy. I am also trained and licensed to coach transitions through Transition Dynamics Enterprises, Inc. I am also an active member of Business Networking International and the Silicon Valley Coach Federation.

I am from the Bay Area in California, happily married with two older teenagers who have been my primary teachers of life, love and joy. My life’s motto: “Live your life with no regrets.” My passion is to guide others who choose to do the same.

Coaching is a post-divorce career change for me. My divorce threw my life into a tailspin riddled with a frenzy of emotions including fear and uncertainty. It was the process of untangling the emotions from the truth, accepting them both and reconnecting with my values that allowed me to awaken to a new sense of self and relearn who I am as a person. Working with a coach was a huge part of this process. It was the “adversity” in my life that was the catalyst for new beginnings.

Being a Family and Relationship Coach allows me to have my life’s work align with my values of family, integrity and contribution and utilizes the skills and experience of my over 20 years in Human Resources.

I received coaching certification through Coach U and am a member of the International Coach Federation. As a coach, I assist individuals to “mind the gap” between the life they have and the life they imagine. In addition to coaching individuals, I am active in a divorced and separated ministry through my church where we work together on transforming the “harsh winter” of a divorce into a hope-filled and promising “spring” of new life.

Having the utmost respect and admiration for marriage and families, I am now enjoying being single. Being a mother to my teenage son and the “other mother” to my two stepdaughters is one of the many blessings in my life and one that fills me with gratitude.
