I’m Solveig Pedersen, and I’m here to support you on your journey.
Life, love, and leadership coaching for visionaries and changemakers.
She feels deeply. She thinks carefully. She wants more.
For the woman at the edge of her brave thing
You’ve built a meaningful life, and you’re good at it. You know at least some of what you want.
And you’ve almost sent the text. Almost booked the trip. Almost said the true thing. Then the reasons arrive: not enough time, money, certainty, or a solid enough plan. Some of those reasons are real wisdom. Some are fear pretending to be wisdom.
Here’s what I’ve seen again and again: the problem usually isn’t the plan. Somewhere along the way, your practical mind was handed the final vote, and your desire never got to speak for itself.
My Mission
I help smart, sensitive women stop playing it safe with their heart... and say “yes” to the love and adventure they’ve been quietly wanting, one brave, well-planned step at a time.
Because when a woman’s desire and her practical mind become partners, she moves through life with more clarity, softness, and strength.
And that changes everything.
I’m here for the woman who is strong and soft, analytical and intuitive ~ who wants love, connection, and adventure that honor all of her.
I support you as you build a life and a love that meet the woman you’ve already become.
What we do together
Your limits of time, money, energy, and responsibility are real, and they’re respected here. No one is going to tell you to “just leap.”
Instead, we listen for what you actually want. We sort real limits from old fear. We build brave plans your practical side can trust, and then you take the step.
For some women, that step is opening to romantic love and dating from grounded self-trust. For others, it’s the honest conversation, the boundary, the deeper connection, or the adventure they’ve dreamed about for years.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about staying fully yourself ~ strong and soft, analytical and intuitive ~ while your life finally makes room for what your heart has been asking for.
My path here
My path wasn’t linear. I’ve known joy, grief, caregiving, heartbreak, and reinvention. I’ve also built a life I love ~ teaching, coaching, traveling, creating, & leading.
I’ve challenged myself to honor my desires, but it’s not always been an easy path to do so. I come from a very practical background, with parents who were loving and highlighted critical thinking and logic as the ways to approach life alongside listening to your inner knowing.
I understand the tension of being capable and still longing. Of telling yourself “I’m fine” while something in you aches for more.
For nearly two decades, I’ve been a university professor of Communication, helping people find their voice and navigate relationships with clarity. I hold a Master’s in Communication and I’m a certified coach; I’ve been coaching women through major life and love transitions since 2012. My work weaves your logical side with embodiment, shadow work, and relational wisdom, because you’re analytical and embodied, practical and soulful.
I live in Alaska with my dog, Rocco, and my cat, Stella, and you can usually find me cozied up reading a book, gardening, plotting my next adventure, or somewhere in Mexico when I’m not in the midst of a semester.
What I believe
I believe in vulnerable honesty ~ truth spoken with warmth.
I believe your desire is wisdom, not indulgence.
I believe your longing isn’t weakness. It’s human.
I believe you don’t have to choose between strength and softness.
I believe it takes deep courage to honor what you really want, especially when it goes against the norm.
And I believe love, connection, and adventure look different when you stop talking yourself out of them.
If something in you feels seen...
This is a space where it’s safe to be strong and tender. Discerning and open. Practical and soulful.
You’re not too much. You’re not naive for wanting more.
If something in you feels seen here... step closer.
