Hello! I’m Marcy Haben Kraft, born & raised in the beautiful state of Minnesota, where the people are known for being “Minnesota nice.” It’s totally true.

In 2001, my husband Russ and I sold our home, quit our jobs, and packed up our then 4 & 6 year old kids in a Dodge Intrepid and loaded our belongings in a U-Haul. We left the cold & snow on a twenty four hour road trip. We arrived in sunny Orlando, Florida (without jobs) in pursuit of a family adventure and more vitamin D. After over 20 years of living in Florida, it has not disappointed, as I completely know from experience, sunshine adds life to your life!

Russ and I have shared a life together since 1991—but our story goes back even further, to a friendship that began in 6th grade. I'm endlessly proud to be 'mama' to two incredible adult kids and their amazing life partners—each of them carrying forward our love for adventure, travel, connection, and seeing the world with open hearts."

My Journey to Coaching: A Heartfelt Calling

My heart has always been drawn to those on the margins—especially within the LGBTQ+ community. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and deeply loved.

Before stepping into the world of coaching, I spent much of my career in ministry, fulfilling a lifelong dream: leading worship, singing in a band, and pouring love into people’s lives. Those years were rich with connection and purpose. Since 2019, coaching feels like a natural extension of that calling—a new way to walk alongside others with compassion and clarity.

What makes me come alive? Helping you realize that you are deeply loved, that you matter, and that your life holds immeasurable value.

You have dreams and adventures waiting to unfold. Sometimes, all it takes is someone who truly cares to help you uncover the next steps, create a plan, and move forward toward the person you’re meant to be. As your coach, I’m here to ask the deep, transformational questions that reveal what’s holding you back—because we all have blind spots.

You deserve to experience the life you’ve always imagined.

I’d be honored to be the encourager in your life—the one who whispers, “You can do this,” and cheers with you and for you as you reach your goals and fulfill your dreams.
