Molly Engle is a certified Life Coach with the prestigious Life Coach School, specializing in helping women—particularly those who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP)—navigate the delicate balance between family life, health, and professional pursuits. Based in Michigan, Molly homeschools her two children while supporting her husband’s demanding schedule as a Detroit firefighter. With a diverse background, Molly holds a degree in fine art, which led to the publication of two children’s books and a nationwide Storytime tour, and has worked as a career nanny implementing early childhood education. She also co-built a successful business in Social Retail with her twin sister.
Molly’s journey of self-discovery began during her four-plus years as a social seller, where outward success masked feelings of burnout, disconnection, and the quiet exhaustion of not honoring her own needs. Despite achieving professional milestones, Molly struggled with constant fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure of trying to live up to others’ expectations. She often felt misunderstood, and as an empath, she was deeply affected by the emotions of those around her, which made balancing her career, health, and personal life even more challenging. But her turning point came when she overheard her 4-year-old daughter say, “Mommy is grumpy today, so be quiet, brother, and let her do her work.” In that moment, she realized that in her pursuit of success, she had lost the joy and connection she had hoped to protect for her family.
It was in this moment of vulnerability that Molly embraced her true self and began working toward a life that aligned with her passions and values. She realized that her struggle with chronic fatigue, often misunderstood as laziness or lack of motivation, was tied to her own experience of Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) and her innate sensitivity. These challenges, once seen as obstacles, became the keys to her personal growth and purpose. She channeled her journey into coaching other women who are also highly sensitive, experiencing fatigue or chronic health concerns, and seeking a life that honors their well-being while pursuing work that lights them up.
In 2022, Molly earned her coaching certification from the Life Coach School, followed by further certifications in brain and thought re-wiring. Now, she empowers women to break free from burnout, rediscover their passions, and build fulfilling lives based on their own unique values. Molly helps women, especially those in the entrepreneurial world, find their rhythm between the demands of family and career, offering them the tools to create lives they love from a place of ease and joy.
Molly’s mission is simple: “You take care of everyone else; let me take care of you.” Her approach is rooted in the belief that we can embrace who we truly are—sensitive, tired, emotional, and all—and still chase More Life. That life isn’t about doing less or fitting into a box; it’s about creating more of what lights you up. More energy, more joy, more freedom, more of YOU.
Whether you’re a fellow social seller, life coach, entrepreneur, or mom, Molly is passionate about guiding you toward a life where you can stop striving and start thriving—doing it messy, doing it real, and doing it in a way that serves your truest self. Chase More Life.
She and her husband, along with their two children and two dogs, enjoy hiking, traveling, and creating a life that prioritizes a rhythmic schedule, where balance and self-care are essential.
