Illuminate Program

A transformational coaching experience helping mothers to thrive in all areas of their lives.

I know the feeling all too well. Wearing EVERY single hat – mother, partner, worker, cleaner, cook, counselor, teacher, friend… the list goes on.

Sometimes, that list is beyond exhausting.

I understand completely if you feel like you are trapped in the busyness of life. I understand if you feel isolated, are lacking self-belief, self-confidence, self-awareness, or are feeling lost in your own identity.

The same tune keeps playing:
“Once I have more time/money, I will feel less tired/ stressed/ overwhelmed /upset…”
I understand the feelings (and the guilt!) of being dissatisfied – of wanting more.

How? Because I’ve been there myself.

And let me tell you – you don’t have to feel this way forever.

Change starts with you.

I am here to offer you an extremely simple, step-by-step self-help process to gain clarity, control and management of your feelings so that you can re-associate with yourself, and show up as the confident and beautiful woman that you are – every single day.

5-Mindset-Tips-for-Entrepreneurial-Mums

Imagine if…

You could replace all of your fears, doubts and insecurities with:

  • Revitalised energy for your family, looking at your workload with love as opposed to a dragging bunch of jobs everyday
  • Inner calm and clarity: you can untangle the stress, old stories and mental programs you are accustomed to, creating a sanctuary for yourself
  • A happy home: when you’re stressed, it ripples throughout your family. You can start creating a peaceful environment for your home
  • A community of thriving women: Don’t ever feel alone again – connect with women who know and understand your journey
  • New beliefs: You are stepping into the ring of new awareness, conscious & new beginnings sister – the world is at your fingertips!
My-top-3-for-Conscious-Consuming-at-this-Time-of-Year

YES - you can have all of that, and so much more.

But change won’t happen if you stay the same, tucked away neatly in your comfort zone. You need to make the commitment to transform.

Meet Your Coach

My name is Benita Bensch — I’m a mother of four, wife, coach, author, and Australian farmer.

I have been named in the Top 100 Women in Australian Agribusiness, and an Amazon bestselling author.

I have stood alongside powerful business people while guest speaking at regional, state and national events, which has given me plenty of joy.

As Seen in:

Lights me up

But do you know what lights me up the most?

Coaching mums. Why? Because I have been in the exact same position that the women I coach are currently in.

The Benita three years ago was worn out, stressed, under the pump, lost, and on the verge of burnout – I had struggled with the difficulty of infertility, loss, grief, and exhaustion.

People thought that I was the ‘Super Mum’, when in fact I had hit breaking point – I was in the most debilitating, paralysed state of overwhelm you could imagine.

I had officially hit breaking point – but not just any old breaking point.

Breaking point

The kind of breaking point that demands to be noticed - the kind that gets up, grabs you by the throat and shakes you.

All I could think was, “I hate this. I want to get in the car and drive away.”

When I put it down on paper, I discovered layers upon layers of frustration, indecisiveness, self-sabotage, pleasing others, loss of identity, guilt, fear – the list goes on.

I was a far cry from who I am today.

So, I made a decision. I chose resilience.

Through much resistance, trusting my inner guide in the face of fear, many trials, and a lot of nurturing, I eventually arrived at the creation of this – the Illuminate Coaching Program.

This is what I want for you. Now, thanks to Illuminate, I spend my days helping women free themselves from burnout and the stories that don’t serve them, and help them become the thriving women that they were born to be.

The Illuminate Coaching Program serves mothers to ensure that no mother has to ever compete with her own mental journey of whether she is worthy or not - Illuminate is there to bring to light every mental, emotional and physical possibility that you are capable of, regardless of your location or personal situation.

Benita Bensch is a mother of four, wife, experienced coach, successful business owner, nationally-acclaimed speaker, Certified Motherhood Practitioner, and farmer of beautiful cropping land in southern Queensland, Australia.

Benita is an experienced coach, author, Mum of four and Queensland farmer who helps mothers globally to connect with self and create a life in which they thrive.

 

Her company’s origins began when, as an established and passionate coach/entrepreneur, she embraced the role of author and beacon, sharing her intimate account of her journey to conceive children, her experiences with infertility and treatments, loss, mental health, the strength of mind and body, and relationships.

 

Benita published the book, The Art of Trying, and through it formed an emotional connection with aspiring mothers and mothers alike.

 

This growing connection soon evolved to one where she experienced and observed that as women embraced motherhood and gave themselves to all of its demands, they began losing sight of themselves and their potential. 

 

With curiosity and compassion, and her own motherhood experiences, Benita pondered the impact of motherhood, asking, ‘Was it the ultimate sacrifice that had to be made? Should women have to surrender their own potential when they become mothers?’ 

 

The short answer is, ‘no’.  But the challenge is that many women did not know how to avoid it.

 

Illuminate was born.  It was the program developed to help mums reconnect with themselves, to reveal their own desires, gifts, creativity and potential.  

 

It continues to shine a light deep into their experience, into the heart, their mind, their soul and proceeds to bring them back to the surface. It helps them to reconnect who they are, what they want, and how to get it.

 

Benita and her team’s overriding goal is to help women live up to their possibilities. They do this with an authentic mix of love, compassion, curiosity and by providing a safe place for inspiration and connection.
