Certified professional coach Tashina Schimming-Dale created Your Fairytale Life for women and teen girls who feel out of place in conventional self-development culture. From an early age, she challenged norms and societal expectations, which eventually inspired a deep understanding of what it truly means to live authentically. Her work as a coach helps clients to explore what feels most real and encourages them to celebrate their uniqueness while designing lives that reflect who they really are (rather than what society tells them they should want).

“For years, I apologized for who I was. I toned down my eccentricity, reshaped my ambitions and made myself fit molds I didn’t belong in. I spent so much time questioning if I was too much or not enough, constantly trying to make sense of a world that didn’t seem to understand me,” says Schimming-Dale. “Through mistakes and years of deep self-discovery, I realized that thriving wasn’t about fitting in—it was about embracing who I was, fully and unapologetically.”

With a background in behavioral health practice management, Schimming-Dale realized that it was the positive connections with clients that she truly cherished. 

“I felt most fulfilled when I saw that my clients knew they were heard, seen and valued. I considered a career as a therapist but realized that my ultimate dream was not to help people process the past but to support them in designing their futures,” says Schimming-Dale, who then enrolled in an International Coaching Federation program and became a credentialed life coach.

As she began to build her coaching practice and define its direction, she reflected on her resistance to societal expectations and how it crafted her understanding of living authentically. This inspired her to collaborate with other women who are yearning to embrace who they are and what they truly want, without apologies or guilt. 

“It’s about owning your value and unlocking the quiet power that’s always been within you. This isn’t about fitting into anyone else’s idea of you; it’s about crafting a life that’s entirely yours,” says Schimming-Dale.

With a passion for collaborating with women and teenage girls, who often face similar pressures to conform, Schimming-Dale founded Your Fairytale Life. She takes a philosophical approach with her clients, highlighting self-inquiry, personal responsibility and intentional decision-making while guiding them to find the courage to show up as their true selves.

“My coaching practice is based on the belief that empowerment and fulfillment come when you embrace your nature and create a life that aligns with who you are. I help women reclaim their power, break free from the expectations that hold them back and create genuine lives,” says Schimming-Dale. “I know what it’s like to shrink yourself to fit the world’s standards. I also know what it feels like to finally step into your own.”

Schimming-Dale helps women focus on personal growth, goal setting and transformation toward unlocking their full potential. She also guides women as they navigate their dating, marriage and relationship journeys, and supports them in creating healthier and more fulfilling connections. Coaching sessions are either via Zoom or phone call, providing flexibility and comfort. In addition, unlimited text and email support is provided for all clients to ensure consistent guidance and assistance.

“My ultimate fairytale is to guide as many women as possible to recognize their own strength and realize the immense potential within them to live according to their own fairytales, whatever that might look like,” says Schimming-Dale.
