Unlocking Emotional Balance with Kim Mabry


"Therapy looks in the rearview mirror; life coaching looks out the windshield." 🚗💨


In this episode of Mental Mixology, we are sitting down with Kim Mabry, the heart and soul behind Lilac Farms Life Coaching. Kim’s journey is a powerful testament to the "Mixology" of life—moving from a career in teaching to becoming a certified life coach dedicated to helping others find their emotional footing.


Whether you are navigating the aftermath of trauma or simply feeling "stuck" in your current season, Kim joins us to break down how life coaching serves as the ultimate tool for accountability and growth. We dive deep into the physical toll of stress—reminding us that "your body knows when you’ve had enough"—and explore how Kim integrates faith and mental resilience into her practice to help clients achieve lasting balance.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Transition: Kim’s inspiring pivot from the classroom to the coaching chair.
  • Coaching vs. Therapy: Understanding why looking "out the windshield" is the key to moving forward.
  • The Body Connection: How trauma and stress manifest physically and how to listen to your body’s warning signs.
  • Accessibility: How Lilac Farms is making mental wellness affordable through creative sponsorship programs and flexible virtual or in-person sessions.
  • Small Wins: Why celebrating the "tiny steps" is the secret to building life-long momentum.


Kim’s approach is all about comfort, connection, and real results. If you’ve been looking for a sign to prioritize your personal growth, this is it. It’s time to stop staring at the rearview and start driving toward the life you deserve.
