My name is Chekesha Nellrose Crippen and I am the owner of How to Life On Purpose and Transform Through Difficult Times Coaching Services. This year, I took a leap on faith and opened my own coaching practice after the tragic murder of my first born daughter. I grew up an only child to my mother in Boston Ma. Growing up I frequently visited and lived in Knoxville TN with my grandparents which is not unusual for me to have chosen this as my home. I spent many years during my childhood growing up in Knoxville I attended some elementary, most of my middle school life, my freshman and sophomore years in High School attending Austin East High School. All my childhood memories are mostly of growing up around my cousins known today as my brothers and sister, making them all aunts and uncles to my kids. After graduating, in Massachusetts from Medford High School in Medford MA. In 1991, I headed back to my love of the much slower paced south. The purpose of my motivational speaking. My coaching and my books is to bring us to a deeper understanding and assist us in the development of ourselves. To teach us to become confident in ourselves and our life on purpose, and how feeling good adds to looking good from the inside out. I specialize in helping each individual I serve to reach their goals, and ultimately, their highest potential. I truly cannot imagine doing any other kind of work and I enjoy supporting my clients in their change efforts.
