The Life Sucks Coach
crisis care, connection, and coping tools for real human beings on the worst fucking days of their lives
Welcome, fellow traveler on the painful path of life.
If you’re here, it probably means you’re struggling and life sucks pretty bad right now, and so I’m sorry you’re here; but I’m also glad you’re here, because it means that now you’re not alone, and, if you want, I can help.

If you are:
– experiencing an acute crisis (just lost your job, someone you love just died, etc.);
– someone for whom life just feels like one big ongoing crisis or series of crises (you struggle to cope with things in general, so it feels like you’re constantly trying to just survive, and you don’t know how much longer you can keep going);
– neither of these exactly but something close,
and you feel like:
– life is too hard to keep going;
– you’ll never get through this thing you’re going through;
– there is too much pain in your life and it’s not worth living anymore;
– you want to drink or do drugs or lose yourself in people or food or sex or spending just to make something feel bearable or enjoyable again;
– something similar to the above,
and you also feel like:
– crisis lines are not enough or not helpful in the right ways;
– therapy is a bad fit, inaccessible (financially or culturally), more than what you need, and/or it’s taking too long to find the right person;
– self-help is overwhelming, confusing, drains you, and/or makes you feel isolated or alone,
...you are in EXACTLY the right place.
Hi - I'm Miles (they/he), aka The Life Sucks Coach, and I offer:
1 – 1:1 crisis support that is real, personal, and ongoing
I won’t abandon you after one conversation, you will never leave feeling like you don’t know what to do next, and you will be in good company if you say fuck a lot or make dark jokes about your dead mother (for example)
–
2 – self-paced online courses that teach you how to:
a) support YOURSELF through a crisis moment, so you’re not dependent on a crisis line or provider to help you survive your worst days;
b) have more control over the painful things in your life and the ways they impact you, and become more stable long-term in the face of ongoing crises — so you’re not constantly overwhelmed by the painful things that happen to you or constantly feeling like you are in survival mode;
c) have a life beyond just pain and pain management, even when pain and crisis are still an ongoing and recurring part of your life — and incorporate pop culture, music, art, poetry, and more into the learning material and activities
–
3 – a clear, simple, straightforward system for learning and navigating all of above
…with ONE single entry point, that reduces the overwhelm of “what do I learn and when and from whom?” (AND doubles as a flowchart that helps you figure out how to help yourself in any given moment!)
I am currently working on finishing bulding all of these things (and this website!), and hope to be done by January 2026 - but don't worry, I can still help!
…whether you want to book a 1:1 conversation or simply get help finding resources to help you get through whatever it is you’re going through, while you’re waiting for me to finish what I’m working on for you, you can and absolutely should reach out to me.
Just let me know in your email how I can help.
