Hi, I’m Joel
Upraise is a manifestation of my life’s work in helping Millennials and Gen Zs overcome personal struggles to find fulfilment in life and thrive in society.
Like walking down a winding road in a dark forest with hidden obstacles and uncertainties at every turn, growing up can feel scary, lonely—and at times overwhelming. Through my years working with youth, I’ve witnessed the various struggles that they experience as they attempt to navigate life, finding their place in the world. Many experience the harshness of life for the first time, from emotional struggles that feel like the weight of the world to dealing with loss and trauma.
While I made an impact as a youth worker, I always wondered… “What if there was more I could do for them?”
I took a step of faith, and found my purpose in impacting lives as a life coach.
Leveraging powerful life coaching tools, I work with youth to untangle complex emotions and experiences, that allow them to discover new perspectives in their lives. Through an introspective process, I tap into the unique gifts of each youth to co-create a bright future where they feel light, strong and confident to rise to their greatest potentials.
