Welcome to the Exclusive Home for Professional Musing & Interactive Life Coaching!

The original Muses of Greek Antiquity were goddesses of art, literature and science, that gifted inspiration to mortals they found to be worthy. The Modern Muse achieves that same inspiration by using non-judgmental observation and playful analysis to create "safe-spaces" where individuals can re-learn to be themselves. As experts of human interpersonal interaction, our Muses employ Mental Cartography, Performative Communication, and Modern Life Coaching Techniques together to create a truly special pathway for each of our clients to find success.
We believe that Real Personal Change can only be achieved through truth, authenticity & understanding in Safe Spaces for growth. This is reflected in our "Truths Based" approach to musing by employing Mental Cartography, a feels & obsessions thought-craft developed by our founder. This involves mapping different ideas/concepts/feels/stories onto our own to gain empathy & perspective.

-The Muse-Your-Life-Coaching Mission
These confidential online Connection Calls are used for us to meet "face to face" with potential clients to discuss their Musing and/or Life Coaching goals. Mostly these are relaxed conversations to see how we connect, what successes we desire to achieve, and if there is shared passion in working together toward them.
No Pressure. No Judgements. Just humans helping humans.

1. ADAPTABILITY: Many other trainers, speakers, or personal growth professionals will present their stock "cookie-cutter" solutions and/or messaging for every situation and client. Muses delight in unique solutions. We are creative and crafty creatures that will tailor every portion of our process to meet the needs of our clients. Every Musing is unique, because every client is unique. And our abilities to adapt and improvise also give us...
2. INTERACTIVITY: Through mental cartography and hyper-awareness we recognize the interconnectivity of modern problems and the need to get "boots-on-the-ground" to solve them. We go into clients homes, we interact with their lives, and we "see" the world as they see it with a nonjudgemental holistic approach. We find the answers others don't, because we pay attention to the full human experience and not just what's being shown on the surface. That allows for truth and...
3. ENTERTAINMENT: Modern Musing involves seeking understanding & clarity within ourselves and our environment... WHILE having a good time. We encourage playful activities & interactions as we work through issues together as team. The process for rediscovering joy should be a joyful process, that's why we provide the Truth with a Candy Coating, using games, stories, and well-timed silliness.

Musing is a performance art of discovering truths & recognizing patterns in ourselves and the world around us. When we add it to a coaching framework, it allows an environment of creativity and understanding through performances, events, activities, and mischief. The process involves creating a quick but authentic safe space between the Muse & Client and then exploring their reactions together in the "real" world to see what truths reveal themselves.
No. There are aspects of Musing and Life Coaching that are very therapeutic, but musing is not any kind of official therapy. Musing reveals truths, which can range from the small and interesting to the amazing and life changing. In all cases of personal musing, we recommend traditional therapy (or comparable alternatives) from a trusted source to be considered as well. This may help the Client process any new truths that may be revealed.
Every Path is different and personalized to the needs of the Client. But most involve one or more 'Musing Events' involving the the Muse & Client having a shared exploration of the Client's life. They can be playful friendly hangouts, attending dashing cultural events, having quiet conversations online or facilitating loud acts of public bravado. The possibilities are only limited by the resources, timeline and boundaries of the Client. Which will all be discussed and agreed upon beforehand.
If someone is interested in a having a Muse as a Life Coach, they would first schedule an online no-obligation Connection Call between with Stephon. On that call we would be able to ask questions, define goals and learn more about the clients desires. Upon completion, we will write up a proposal for what we believe will be the most beneficial path of your Musing/Coaching and sent it along for review.
Yes and no. Musing is a shared inspirational experience meant to be interesting to all. The muse must be inspired by the client/role/opportunity in order to do their job correctly. Therefor, a "face-to-face" pre-meeting will eventually be required for all personal sessions to check the chemistry of the assignment before it is accepted. We completely understand that some Client's may wish to have us vetted by their teams first. But please note that the first consultation call is complimentary and any follow up calls that are required may be subject to meeting fees.

Stephon was diagnosed as neurodivergent (ADD) at a very young age. Throughout early life, he constantly struggled with traditional education techniques and communication styles feeling that he was always being misunderstood. But once he discovered improvisation & improv based therapy as a teenager, he started a journey of self discovery that would define his life's path. Stephon spent decades unhappily grinding in the entertainment and corporate worlds, trapped in the boxes people said he 'should' fit into.
The Covid Lockdown gave Stephon the time and perspective needed to reevaluate his approach and reinvent his life. Using specialized training & unique skills he developed, he began working as a Professional Muse in the LA Area. Wanting to expand his positive reach and skillset, Stephon earned life coach certifications in Life's Purpose, Happiness, Goal Success, and Personal Life Coaching programs. He continues to further his studies of Musing, Coaching and Human Behavior with every client he helps.
