Meet our 2026 Impact Coach of the Year: Kelly Ling @storkandspark 💫

Kelly`s results genuinely blew the committee away.

For a Fortune 500 client, her coaching cut new parents` anxiety about stalled careers from 89% to 53%. Her Career Care Connection Summit drew over 2,800 session sign-ups and more than $10K in sponsorship, and gave $6K back to community partners including The Labor Club. She`s also been invited back by that Fortune 500 client for next year.

That`s impact at every level. Congratulations, Kelly. 💛

Meet our 2026 Wellness Coach of the Year: Dr. Patrice High @dr.patricehigh 🌿

Dr. Patrice did something really brave. She stepped away from the conventional medical model as a physician to support women in a way that helps them feel seen, heard and valued.

Through podcasts, VegFest expos and Walk with a Doc, she`s on a mission to change the health system, one motivated woman at a time.

Congratulations, Dr. Patrice. 💛
