Hailing from the fast-paced city of Atlanta, I’m the around-the-way girl with an aggressive, upbeat spirit—Pastel Brooksville McCoy. My dreams weren’t always my reality, but that’s where ambition and self-accountability took over my life.
I remember staring in the mirror of a dressing room at 37, with 7 kids and heading face-first into a second failed marriage, realizing I needed a change. That’s when I decided to walk away and reinvent myself. Sometimes, the things we resist changing are the very obstacles we need to overcome. I made it my mission to find true happiness, and taking the first step toward becoming the best version of myself felt like breathing new air for the first time.
At the time, I owned a hair salon and encountered countless women motivated by my business success and new life. Before long, I found that my customers were stopping by more for motivational speeches than for snazzy hairstyles. Then, one day, I was invited to speak at a rally, and that’s when everything really took off. People began asking how they could book time to talk with me, and that’s how my life coaching journey started.
As my life began to change for the better, I realized that others were facing the same challenges I did—self-doubt, anxiety, and a laundry list of other mental stumbling blocks.
I believe that every person has a very special dream locked away in their heart. My goal is to guide you to manufacture the key to unlocking your dreams and making it your reality.
As a successful businesswoman, I always knew how to structure lucrative business plans. One day, I devised a plan to help others in all facets of growth and development. Since taking that huge leap to launch Pastel Inc., I have created a business mentoring and life coaching service for businesses and individuals seeking support and guidance.
In my work as a life coach, I find joy in empowering others to unlock their true potential, overcome challenges, and live fulfilling lives. Through a combination of compassion and firm support, I help my clients on their journey towards personal growth, self-discovery, and the achievement of their goals.
