Today we’d like to introduce you to Bianca Levi.
Hi Bianca, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I didn’t take a straight path into life coaching as a therapist—I built it from lived experience, purpose, and a refusal to play a role that didn’t feel right.
After graduating with a degree in criminal justice and business, I thought I’d become a juvenile defense attorney. But the deeper I looked into the system, the more I saw its limits—especially the ways systemic racism shaped outcomes for people who looked like me. I realized I didn’t want to be another cog in a machine that wasn’t built to truly protect my community.
I pivoted. Tried property management, good money, poor stability and ethics. Then landed a role as a 911 operator in DeKalb County—and that’s where everything shifted.
While others dreaded certain calls, I leaned into them. I found myself drawn to mental health crises, especially calls from Georgia Regional. Sitting on the other end of those lines, I recognized something that had always been part of me: I’d always been the one people came to for safety, for understanding, for real conversations. That natural instinct, paired with what I was witnessing daily, sparked something deeper—a calling.
So I followed it.
While working full-time, I went back to school, fully committing to understanding mental health and how life experiences shape who we become, working toward s a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. My internship with the City of Atlanta, under brilliant Black professionals who poured knowledge and game into me, confirmed I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
After graduating, I stepped into a role at Rogers Behavioral Health as a behavior specialist—but by then, the vision had already expanded. I didn’t just want to work within systems. I wanted to create something of my own.
That’s how Mindful Moments Guided Life Coaching was born.
My approach is simple but intentional: real talk, no judgment, and meeting people where they are. I created a space for those who feel disconnected from traditional therapy—whether they don’t trust it, don’t understand it, or just need something that feels more like a conversation than a clinical session. I act as a guide, helping people navigate life transitions, reconnect with themselves, and build toward who they want to be—without the pressure or stigma.
Two and a half years in, I’ve built a steady virtual practice, working with clients ranging from teens to adults in their 60s. With drop-in group sessions over an array of topics from emotion regulation, to teen talk round table discussions, launching in November 2026, my goal remains the same: make mental health feel accessible, relatable, and real.
Because sometimes healing doesn’t start in a therapist’s office—it starts in a conversation that feels like talking to someone who truly gets you.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My journey has been shaped just as much by my struggles as my successes.
I survived a domestic violence relationship that forced me to rebuild my sense of self and understand my worth on a deeper level. I was later diagnosed with a brain tumor caused by a stress-induced illness that required me to slow down and develop a real relationship with my body—learning anxiety management not just as a skill, but as a necessity.
Then I was hit by a drunk driver, which resulted in a broken right femur. I had to go through intense physical therapy and relearn how to walk. That experience pushed me mentally in ways I never expected—fighting past the limits my mind tried to place on me and proving to myself that I was capable of more.
One of the hardest moments in my life was losing my dad—my biggest protector, provider, and cheerleader. That loss almost caused me to give up on everything, including school. But with the support of my close friends, I found my way back. They helped me rebuild, refocus, and keep going when I didn’t have the strength on my own.
Those experiences didn’t break me—they shaped the foundation of the work I do today. My experiences are the reason my coaching looks the way it does. I don’t come from just a textbook perspective—I come from lived experience. I understand what it feels like to struggle mentally, physically, and emotionally, and to have to rebuild yourself more than once.
As you know, we’re big fans of Mindful Moments Guided Life Coaching . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I founded Mindful Moments Guided Life Coaching to bridge the gap between mental health awareness and accessibility within my community. My goal is to reach people—young and old—who may be resistant to therapy or unsure of where to start. I specialize in, depression, anxiety, OCD, life transitions, grief, ADHD, and just feeling lost and don’t know where to start, I’m ya girl.
Through a low-pressure, conversational approach, I help clients work toward becoming better versions of themselves, whether that’s navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or simply learning themselves on a deeper level. It’s about removing stigma and making growth feel doable. Now, two years in, I’ve built a steady virtual practice with a consistent rotation of clients ranging from teens to adults in their 60s. I’m also launching drop-in group sessions in November 2026 to expand access and create more community-based healing spaces. I am proud of being a therapist that approaches healing outside of the office and meets people where they are in their lives to show up as a coach and a guide.
Looking ahead, I plan to continue growing my platform and reaching more people, especially youth, by making mental health conversations feel normal, engaging, and even enjoyable—like talking to someone who truly understands you. Im continuing to offer virtual services and can be reached via email to have a consultation.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
My biggest advice is to stand in your own light—fully and unapologetically. Don’t be afraid to be different or to step outside of what’s considered the “acceptable” way of doing things. The status quo isn’t always where purpose lives.
Trust that what makes you unique is exactly what will make you impactful. You don’t have to force yourself into spaces that don’t feel aligned or shrink yourself to be understood. The people who need you—your voice, your perspective, your approach—will find their way to you, and you’ll find your way to them.
Just stay real, stay grounded, and don’t second-guess what feels authentic to you. That’s where your power is.
