Trauma Informed Life Coaching & Mentoring.
Where Connection Comes First—and Growth Follows
I’m Jodi McCarthy, a dedicated mother of three and the founder of Bloom & Grow Coaching LLC.
My personal journey as an at-risk youth—overcoming significant adversity—shaped who I am today and inspired my passion for helping young people thrive. Becoming a parent deepened that commitment and strengthened my belief that every young person deserves guidance, encouragement, and someone who truly sees their potential.
Motivated by my own experiences, I created Bloom & Grow Coaching to provide the kind of support I once needed—support that is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on building confidence, resilience, and real-world skills. With over 15 years’ experience in the human services field, I’ve worked closely with vulnerable children, teens, and families navigating complex challenges.
Bloom & Grow Coaching was founded to meet young people where they are at and help them move forward with purpose. My approach blends practical life coaching with a strong emphasis on self-esteem, accountability, and emotional growth. I am deeply passionate about empowering teens and families with the tools they need to make positive choices, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
Invest in your relationship with yourself

Life Coaching focuses on helping clients identify and achieve their personal goals, develop new skills, and build confidence. Life coaches work with individuals to improve various aspects of their lives—such as career development, relationships, and general well-being—by setting goals and taking actionable steps toward growth and success. The focus is on personal development, goal-setting, and empowerment.
Therapy, on the other hand, addresses emotional struggles, psychological issues, and mental health concerns. Therapists or counselors help individuals navigate difficult emotional challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Therapy typically involves processing past experiences, understanding deep emotional issues, and working through psychological barriers.
While both coaching and therapy support individuals in their personal journeys, life coaching is about forward momentum, while therapy often addresses past and present emotional healing. Bloom and Grow Coaching does not provide therapeutic services, and we encourage individuals seeking help with mental health concerns to consult a licensed therapist or counselor.
Try a session and see if it’s right for you.
There’s no commitment, pressure, or obligation.
