You've been pedaling alone long enough….

You're capable, smart, and holding it all together — and somehow that's exactly the problem. Because "holding it all together" is exhausting. And somewhere between the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the feeling that life should feel better than this, you lost the version of yourself you actually like.

That's where I come in.

I'm Elizabeth Shafer, and I help real people — the overwhelmed, the stuck, the quietly struggling and the ready-for-more — build the mindset and confidence to stop surviving and start actually living.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth.

I spent the first four decades of my life looking for my worth in all the wrong places — popularity, motherhood, money, social media. I was exhausted, anxious, and really good at pretending I was fine.

Then I hired my first life coach. And everything changed.

Now I get to do for others what she did for me — help you see who you've always been, and give you the tools to actually live like you believe it.

I'm a certified life coach (CLC) with a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation. Which is a fancy way of saying: I know what I'm doing, and I take your growth seriously.

But also — I'm a mom of three adopted kids, married to my college crush, lover of good food and hard laughs. So I'm going to be real with you. Because real is the only thing that actually works.

I cannot wait to meet you!

Testimonials

These are real people who showed up, did the work, and now live differently because of it. Could be you next.

When I first met with Elizabeth at Tandem Life Coaching, I was trying to fix my current business, but I left realizing I needed a complete career change. In our continued work, Elizabeth’s professionalism and playfulness made every step both challenging and rewarding. She helped me set clear goals, held me accountable, and kept me on track. She stays connected, checks in, and ties emotions to action. Thanks to her insight, I’m taking confident steps toward a life that truly aligns with my goals and values

I highly recommend Elizabeth as a life coach. I didn’t even really know what a life coach was, but boy am I thankful that I started working with Elizabeth. From the get go, she is extremely personable and has the ability to connect with her clients easily. She is encouraging, trustworthy, and an excellent listener. She provides fantastic tools which helped me narrow my focus, identify my goals, and define my reason WHY behind those goals. I truly look forward to my next sessions and continuing to find answers that I already had, but didn’t know how to find. I can’t thank Elizabeth enough for giving me support and guidance that is so invaluable.

Are you on the verge of a big life transition? Are you looking for the next step in life after therapy? Are you ready to become the best version of yourself for yourself?

It’s amazing but I have grown exponentially in the past 3 months with the guidance of Elizabeth @Tandemlifecoach. Elizabeth has coached and helped me to grow my self belief and self confidence, learn how to trust myself and listen to the truth that is present and waiting for me to listen, ask myself big, purposeful questions, and realize the mind-altering knowledge that I have everything already inside me for wholeness, joy, peace, and all those other things I felt have eluded me for decades. I learned to start being kind to myself and speak goodness and life rather than the shame and guilt I’ve been heaping onto me. I have learned to have peace despite chaotic circumstances. If I slip back into old patterns, Elizabeth has taught me how I can now recognize them, give myself grace, and get back on track. She is both firm and gentle as she empowers you to walk in your purpose and goals.

If you are truly ready, Elizabeth is the perfect guide to walk alongside you on your journey. She is cheerleader, confidant, provoker, and guru all in a perfectly fabulous package. Give yourself the gift of Elizabeth. You will not believe the newest, best version of yourself you’ll be after the time you spend with her.
— Summer, Anaheim, CA

Elizabeth has been amazing to work with. She is a gifted coach who creates a safe and loving environment, but is not afraid to ask hard questions to get you where you want to go. She has a way of intuitively guiding you through challenging life decisions and goal setting. She is completely present and offers tangible practices and takeaways. If you want to level up and get results she’s the coach for you. Somehow she works her magic while wrapping it in a giant hug.

When I first found Elizabeth, I wasnt sure what a life coach was all about. If I am honest, I think I was a little more on the uneasy side, but also knew I needed to do something different. I had done over 9 years of intense weekly therapy and then COVID changed a lot of things. I signed up for a introduction session with Elizabeth, and really enjoyed the fact that we had a lot in common, could laugh at some of the hard things of life, but then also be incredibly vulnerable. Oddly, when I did the introductory session, my life was about to be flipped upside down, at 37, and I felt alone with no one in my corner. My parents were separating after being together since they were 14, they sold the house I was living in at the time, I moved into a house of pure chaos and lies, addictions, and I did all I could to make everyone happy, because thats what I always did. So, I went all in with coaching from Elizabeth! I started with little things. Setting boundaries, my budget and debt, working on my relationship with my parents but the real stuff the hard stuff happened so naturally. One day, I told her that I was thinking about moving cross country. From that moment I knew I wasnt alone. I wasnt stupid. I wasnt too much when I would reach out to her. I remember her telling me a few times youre right where you need to be. Now, After packing up my entire life, and walking away from all the dysfunction, greed, and abuse I was putting myself through, just to feel heard I made the cross country drive from CA to FL. And the entire time, Elizabeth has been with me the entire time. Ive worked with her 3 separate times. Dealing with finances, daily routines, self discovery, my struggle with sexuality, my confidence. My family, and the biggest showing the younger me that its safe this time around. So if you feel stuck or need someone to walk alongside you, I highly recommend Elizabeth! Give it a couple sessions, and your life wont be the same in a good way!
— Mary, Florida

Elizabeth is absolutely amazing. She brings out the best in me. Gives tangible goals to work toward and the tools to do so. She is honest and upfront, and compassionate. I will be sad when our sessions are done. Coaching truly has changed my life and outlook. Elizabeth truly cares and wants you to succeed. I am thankful to have worked with her.
