You never move on from a loss
but you can move forward.
If you’re reading this, you might be experiencing a difficult change in your life. I’m Michael White, and I’m here to help you navigate your new normal.
Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one; it can also stem from other changes and losses in life. And we all grieve in our own way.
When the time is right, healing begins by shifting your focus and telling a new story. If you’re ready to make that shift, let me help you create a new, better story.

Is it your time?
I am incredibly fortunate to work with Mike. He has helped me through an emotional and meaningful experience, both personally and professionally. His steady and grounded support during a difficult time in my life has given me the space to process grief and loss, and to reinforce my foundation for personal growth moving forward. Mike’s guidance has allowed me to align my habits with my values and dig deeper into my “why”, keeping me focused on what’s truly important. He has been instrumental in helping me affect personal change, and sharpened my focus with work, and his insights on leadership have helped me connect more genuinely with both myself and those around me. He embodies his philosophy and genuinely believes in helping others. I could not recommend a better coach and guide!
HEY, I’M MIKE!
I’M A COACH WHO’S LEARNED THROUGH A COMBINATION OF ACADEMIA AND EXPERIENCE. ALTHOUGH BY FAR, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING HAS TAUGHT ME THE MOST.
I now coach others using the same tools and strategies that have helped me in my own journey. I’ve been through a lot – from moving forward after a major business change to personal injuries and multiple losses, including the loss of my wife Kate in 2019.
I’m a Certified Grief and Loss Educator, Mental Performance Coach, and Law of Attraction Life Coach with over 11 years of serving my clients. Before that, I owned and operated a Marketing Agency for over 20 years, helping my clients develop clarity in their brands.
Through all of these experiences, I’ve learned to live life differently.
“My focus is on change, loss, and grief. My style builds connection—like a good friend who listens, holds you accountable, and isn’t afraid to be honest. I believe coaching is personal, and together we’ll do our best work when we connect on that level.”
It’s about living in a state of awareness and embracing the present moment, knowing that the only time we control is now. Yesterday is a past now, tomorrow is a future now—what matters is what we do today. This approach ties into many of the philosophies that have shaped my life and my coaching practice.
Live Life Awake creates a framework for navigating change, loss, and grief with purpose. It’s about more than just surviving—it’s about thriving and creating a life that aligns with our deepest intentions.
Are you ready to move to a better place?
Thanks to Mike I’ve gained clarity on my priorities and developed a clear roadmap for achieving my aspirations. The strategies and tools he’s provided are not just theoretical—they’re practical and tailored to my unique situation. I’ve started implementing it successfully!! If you’re seeking a life coach or empathetic counsellor who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in your journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Mike White. Mike will empower you to unlock your full potential and achieve the life you envision.
WHY “YELLOW CAR”?
as a kid, i was taught to look for yellow cars on road trips.
it’s amazing how many i saw when i focused on them.
Fast Forward to Today
The idea of Yellow Car expands much farther than just a game to play – it’s a foundational thought process of life! Not only did it become the name of my company, but the idea of “What you focus on you attract” became my philosophy.
You Have The Control
We can’t control much of what happens to us, but we can control how we respond to it. We all experience change and how we perceive that change dictates the experience we have through it.
Your Perspective Dictates Your Experience
Your perspective dictates your experience. I help my clients understand the stories they are currently telling themselves and guide them to tell new, more empowering stories that put them on a new path.
“When you change your thoughts, you change your beliefs, when you change your beliefs, you change your behaviour, and when you change your behaviour, you change your story.”
What's your Yellow Car? What do you want to see show up in your life?
Working with Mike White at Yellow Car Coach has been a transformative experience. Mike seamlessly blends the roles of coach and therapist, going beyond just talking about feelings—he equips you with practical tools for real, lasting change. His approach to ‘change coaching’ helped me not only navigate through life’s hardships but also take actionable steps to improve my life. I’m now seeing the tangible results of that work every day.
There’s no timeline for healing, and no one set of rules to follow.
Healing isn’t about ‘moving on’—it’s about rewriting your story and ‘moving forward’.By blending self-love, gratitude, visualization, and routine with the power of emotion and personal energy, I know we can all move to a better place. We’ll create clarity of purpose, develop new habits and rewrite the rules together.
IT’S TIME TO CHAT!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Michael White of Yellow Car Coach is a thought- provoking presenter whose unique approach to connecting with his audience allows everyone in attendance participate in their own personal way in the conversation. His life experiences, big heart and subsequent unique wisdom are all compelling attributes that make him an outstanding subject matter expert in an area of practice that is truly transformational as it relates to cultivating sustainable success. I also appreciated the fact that he was able to customize his presentation to reflect the diverse needs of our group and ensure that we all
landed in the same positive, “teachable moment” by the end of his presentation.
I would not hesitate to recommend him as a presenter and would be delighted to personally connect with any organization or person seeking a more fulsome understanding of the value Michael brought to our group as our keynote speaker.
