Strategic Marketing Coaching for Purpose-Driven Coaches, Business Owners and Nonprofit Leaders

Get clarity, build momentum, and connect with the clients you’re meant to serve.

Ripples Reach Coaching: Helping You Replace Your Messy Marketing With Clear Strategies

You’re not afraid of hard work. You’re building something meaningful. But figuring out how to reach the people you’re meant to serve? That part feels…messy.

​

You’ve tried the courses, the templates, the random tips on Instagram. You’ve put yourself out there—but you’re still not getting the traction you know is possible. You’re craving clarity, consistency, and connection.

​

That’s where I come in.

Marketing with Strategy, Soul & a Whole Lot of Heart

I’m Cari O’Brien, and I created Ripples Reach Coaching to empower ambitious coaches, creators, and nonprofit leaders like you to show up with confidence, build marketing that works, and amplify your impact on the world.

​

I can’t solve your problems with the wave of a magic wand. And I flat-out refuse to pursue cookie-cutter strategies. What I do offer is this:

​

  • A space where your dreams are safe, supported, and sharpened

  • A coach who listens deeply, sees your brilliance, and helps you bring it forward

  • A proven process to build marketing strategies rooted in your real goals instead of someone else’s playbook

 

It’s time to expand your impact and see just how far your ripples can reach.

The Ripples Reach Approach

Because Magic Happens When Strategy Meets Authenticity

I help you build a marketing foundation rooted in authenticity, insight, and action, so you can confidently show up, stand out, and grow in a way that feels aligned with who you are.

​

You’ll move from scattered tactics to strategic clarity. From second-guessing to confident decisions. From trying to do #AllTheThings to doing the right things.

​

Whether we’re working together in a 1:1 engagement or you’re joining a workshop or group experience, our journey together flows through three key phases:

​

✨ Connect ✨ We start by grounding in your goals, your audience and what you want to be known for. 

 

✨ Clarify & Co-Create ✨ Together, we build a thoughtful marketing strategy that connects the dots between your vision and your messaging.

 

✨ Catalyze ✨ With the plan in place, we build momentum, create content and activate your marketing in a way that actually feels good.

Water Ripples

I partner with solopreneurs, service providers, nonprofit leaders and small teams who are ready to:

  • Make their marketing feel human again

  • Build systems that support growth, not burnout

  • Attract the right clients and repel the wrong ones

  • Clarify their brand and messaging

  • Turn confusion into confidence

​

If you’re driven, ready to learn and are willing to bring your whole self to the process, I’d love to work with you.

What It’s Like to Be a Client of Ripples Reach Coaching

Marketing isn’t just about what you say. It’s about how you connect. That’s why our work together is built on trust, transparency, and alignment. Here’s what that looks like:

​

🌀 Strategic Insight + Tactical Know-How
With nearly two decades of experience, including 11 years running my own content marketing agency, I know how to bridge the gap between high-level vision and nitty-gritty execution.

​

🌀 Tailored, Collaborative Coaching
You’ll get a real partnership and zero fluff. I’ll work with you to co-create strategies that honor your strengths, support your goals, and actually fit your life.

​

🌀 Empathy With Accountability
I’m warm, honest, and understanding. But I’m not a pushover. You’re doing important work, and I’m going to help you stay aligned and on track.

​

🌀 A Coach Who Actually Gets It
I’ve lived the feast-or-famine cycles. I’ve wrestled with audience clarity. I’ve felt the overwhelm. And I’ve built my way through it—with strategy, storytelling, and soul. I’ll help you do the same.
