Zena Robinson of Peaceful Transitions:  I’m a lifelong resident of Carbon County and a coal miner's daughter.  I’m proud of my Hispanic heritage and the core values and strong work ethic instilled in me by my parents and others living in this community.  My husband and family are the most important people in my life.

Next to them, my passion is my love for people and my desire to help those in need.  This is a beautiful symphony when operating at its best.

​

I am a graduate of Utah State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  I also have a master’s degree in real-life experience and countless hours of training in advocacy, support, listening, resource assessment, and conflict resolution.   For the past 24 years, I have had the opportunity of working in the mental health & educational environments in a way that was intimately connected.  In my positions, I’ve worked directly with students, parents, and colleagues to navigate real-life obstacles that affect everyone at one time or another.  During this time, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to coordinate and facilitate two very important and critically acclaimed programs designed to provoke culture change in our area.  The first targeted the way mental health services are provided to children and families in rural Utah, and the other was a shift in educational options being offered and provided in our area.  These experiences have provided me with invaluable experience.  Life is a journey and along the way, there are often circumstances that create pain and trauma which may redirect us onto an unproductive path.  Change is the only constant in life.  If we try to ignore these challenges they only get worse & the cycle of dysfunction begins!  I have learned that we all need help navigating through life’s changes and “transitions” and yet it takes a lot of inner strength to even ask for help!

​

My intention is to share what I know to help you.  As a transitional coach, my goal is to allow you to reach your greatest potential on this journey while gaining new and/or different tools to navigate through anything that comes in your path!  Every day we make choices to do or not do many things.  These choices may range from profound to trivial and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, that makes our process of living more effective or less effective.  Life coaching helps you learn how to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life.
