Who Is Coach Nancy?
Hey there, I’m Nancy Coppedge Benton - a wife, proud mom of three, U.S. Army veteran, and Certified Personal & Executive Empowerment Coach dedicated to helping women rise with intention. My work blends lived experience, spiritual grounding, and evidence‑based strategy to guide women through healing, leadership, and deep personal transformation.
I’ve lived a life full of transitions - overseas military assignments, motherhood, career pivots, identity shifts, and the quiet moments where you must choose who you’re becoming. I chose growth. I chose purpose. I chose to flourish, not just survive. That choice led me to become a Certified Personal and Executive Life Coach through the CaPP Institute in 2017, where I fused my lived experience with the science of positive psychology.
Born in Heidelberg, Germany and raised in a military family, I learned early how to adapt, lead, and thrive in constant change. My academic journey reflects that same drive: I hold an MBA in Finance from Columbia Southern University and a B.S. in Psychology, Accounting, and Business Management from the University of Maryland. Today, I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology - because growth is a lifelong calling.
My professional journey has taken me into spaces where courage, compassion, and emotional intelligence weren’t optional - they were essential. For more than two decades, I’ve supported people through some of their most defining and vulnerable moments, learning how to hold space for healing, identity shifts, and the kind of transformation that reshapes a woman from the inside out.
Those experiences taught me how to see beyond the surface - to recognize the unspoken, honor the unseen, and guide women through the deep work of becoming. They shaped the heart of my coaching: a blend of resilience, emotional clarity, identity work, and the belief that every woman deserves a life that feels aligned, whole, and rooted in truth.
As a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, I carry forward a legacy of sisterhood, service, and generational impact -values that live at the center of my work and the women I support.
If you’re seeking a coach who brings heart and strategy, lived wisdom and spiritual grounding, and a sacred space for your evolution - you’re in the right place. Your next chapter deserves intentional support and expert guidance. Let’s begin this work together and create the life that reflects your truth.
Motivation comes from within — and I’m here to help you activate it.
