WITHIN w/ Nettie
My friends call me Nettie! I am a proud Cameroonian-American who immigrated to the United States at 20, navigating the challenges of outgrowing cultural limitations while rediscovering that my authenticity extended far beyond the beliefs I once held. My journey has been shaped by growth, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to self-discovery.
I began my academic path with a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology, driven by my curiosity about life and the natural world. My passion for helping others heal led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Nursing, where I found purpose in caring for others. Over 14 years as an acute care nurse, I cultivated life-changing skills—critical thinking, problem-solving, intentionality, situational awareness, accountability, and the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. These experiences laid the foundation for my natural transition into nurse education and, eventually, life coaching.
In 2020, I founded, then called,“Within Coaching and Consulting Services” after studying at the Jay Shetty Life Coaching School. But my love for coaching began long before. Even as a young girl, I found myself problem-solving through my own experiences and supporting others in my community. This deep-rooted passion for personal growth, spirituality, and authentic connection shapes my coaching approach today. I believe vulnerability and introspection are our greatest tools for transformation, and I’m here to help others unlock their true potential.
My journey has also led me into the world of creative writing. As a Connection and Awareness Executive Contributor for BRAINZ Magazine, I explore the power of authenticity and personal development, earning the Brainz CREA Global Award for thought leadership, innovation, and contributions to sustainability and mental health initiatives. Additionally, I guest contribute to Guzangs Magazine, combining my love for creative design with personal growth.
Beyond one-on-one coaching, I lead group workshops on Life Balance and the Power of Accountability. I’ve had the honor of serving as a keynote speaker and panelist for personal development platforms and facilitating self-care seminars for private groups. My work is ever-evolving, and I’m excited to expand into personal presentation consulting, blending my passion for art and design with coaching.
