Hi, I’m Chum
Do I need a Lifestyle Coach? The truth is that EVERYONE needs accountability and encouragement! And Chum can help lead you down the path to live the life you want to live!
Change is hard. Big goals take big commitment. Doing something new or scary is always better (and more likely to actually happen) with an encouraging guide. No matter how inspired we are by our dreams, our old patterns and habituated comforts will quickly zap our energy and fade our drive.
- A life coach helps you dream big and stretch your horizons to create a compelling vision for your life, and then helps you chart the course to get there.
- A life coach holds you accountable to yourself by holding you to higher expectations and standards and reminding you what you’re doing it all for.
- A life coach challenges you to see your true potential and to settle for nothing less than all than you are meant to be.
- A life coach helps you find meaning in the challenges in your life and give your pain a purpose.
- A life coach helps you keep your monkey mind in check so you can choose optimism, feel confident, and master a mindset of success.
- A life coach helps you stay committed in those times when you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or become distracted by life’s uncertainties.
- A life coach is that support system you can depend on when the people in your life are nay-sayers, haters, or don’t believe in your vision. Sometimes a life coach can be the expert or guide that shows you a shortcut to their success in their career, their business, their relationships, or their life.

about the coach
Hi! I’m Chum Tran, born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1974. My family immigrated to the United States when I was a child. Raised by a single father, I was the youngest of 5 children. Growing up in Colorado, life was not always easy but my upbringing instilled perseverance and drive in me from a young age.
Today, I am a proud mother of 4 daughters and a bonus mom to a stepson. I am also a successful Realtor and Personal Trainer. But most importantly, I strive to be a positive role model and inspirational force in everything I do. Having overcome various life challenges, I have a practical yet optimistic approach with the belief that positivity, self-discipline and resilience can empower you to achieve your goals. My own life experience and journey with fitness has shown me the incredible strength we all have within. It is my passion to motivate and inspire others – especially in today’s non-traditional families. I want to spread the message that circumstances do not define who you are or limit what you can become. Your power comes from within.
I specialize in working with single parents and blended/stepfamilies as they navigate the unique joys and challenges of forming a new family unit. Whether you are in a high conflict or non-conflict relationship, coaching can help you find your new path with direction and confidence. Blending and single parent families requires patience, compromise, and plenty of love – but the rewards are immeasurable. Whether you are creating a new single parent household or bringing two families together under one roof can be quite challenging. Even for the most prepared, growing pains will likely occur when two families merge.
As a life coach with personal experience as a single parent and now blending my families, I provide customized support and guidance to improve communication, set reasonable expectations, balance divided loyalties, and bond more deeply as a family. My non-judgmental, solution-focused approach empowers you to handle sticky situations, manage complex emotions, and create meaningful rituals and traditions together.
Whether you’re struggling with parent-child relationships, co-parenting conflicts, or step-family dynamics, I’m here to listen and help. I will collaborate with all members of your blended family to better understand your family culture and goals. From there, we will develop strategies and skills for more harmony at home. My clients feel heard, understood, and equipped to blend their families with compassion. If you’re ready to bring your family together and create lasting bonds, contact me today to get started.
I’m looking forward to helping your blended family thrive!
What My CLients Are Saying
Chum has always been the person that I look forward to talk to. She’s caring and understanding. She’s very good at what she does. She guided me through how to manage my situations and life obstacles. I Highly recommended Chum!
I have been blessed to have been one of many of Chum‘s life coach clients. Originally, Chum quite naturally became an unofficial life coach for me and many others. Sometimes I didn’t want to hear everything I needed but I would not have changed without it. She would remind me of these things; I knew you when you were healthy. I’m so proud of you. You’ve come so far, the hugs, I love you, endless patience. No matter what Chum was always available when I needed her emotionally physically or spiritually. She’s my force of nature and I can’t imagine my life without her, my current life requires her to be endlessly patient with me, and I can always count on her to be honest and always concerned about my physical, spiritual and emotional wellness. I can’t imagine my life without her her ability to see all sides of a situation. Chum is so a unique gift not every human gets to have in their corner. I am so blessed.
