Meet Tesse Lynn

Life Coach. Speaker. Mentor. Mother. Survivor. Truth-Teller.

Hey there—I’m Tesse Lester, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve landed on this page, chances are you’re looking for something real. Not polished perfection. Not fluffy advice. But truth. Support. And a path forward.

I’m a trauma-informed life coach, motivational speaker, and mentor for women who’ve lived through the hard stuff—domestic abuse, teen pregnancy, parenting through adversity, and the kind of emotional battles that don’t show up on the surface. I’ve walked through fire more times than I can count, and I’m still standing. Not just standing—rising. And now, I help other women do the same.

I’m 48 years old, a proud mother of two beautiful grown daughters, and someone who’s finally found peace in her own skin. But it wasn’t always this way. I’ve faced heartbreak, failure, shame, and survival-mode seasons that nearly broke me. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve stayed too long. I’ve doubted my worth. And I’ve rebuilt—again and again.

That’s why my work isn’t just coaching. It’s personal. It’s purpose-driven. It’s built on lived experience, hard-earned wisdom, and a fierce belief that women deserve more than just survival. We deserve confidence. Power. Strength. Beauty. And the tools to rise from whatever tried to hold us down.

What I Do

I offer coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements for women who are ready to stop making excuses and start making moves. My signature 12-week coaching journey helps women reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and rise into the version of themselves they’ve always known was there.

Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating motherhood, or trying to find yourself again—I’m here to walk beside you. Not above you. Beside you.

I'm ready to work with you

Why I do it

Because I’ve lived it.

Because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, silenced, and underestimated.

Because I believe in radical ownership, bold truth, and the kind of transformation that lasts.

Because I want you to know—you’re not broken.

You’re rebuilding. And you don’t have to do it alone.

So grab that cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s get real. You’ve got a story worth telling. A life worth living. And a future worth fighting for.

Let’s rise together.
