Even professional life coaches once needed coaching. In this inspiring episode with Life Coach Officer Autumn Clifford, you will learn that bad experiences could mold you into a better person when you master to fail forward.
She rose back from the bottom of an emotional pit that threatened to swallow her very identity. She had put so much into her identity as a police officer that she couldn’t even image herself as anything else. She spent 6 months couch ridden and unable to do anything other then be on my phone or laptop.
Her success as a podcast host in Changing the Culture for First Responders, being a life coach for over a hundred people, and her club Lady Sheepdog Club can attest to that.

I’m Autumn and …
I am the queen of BREAKING THROUGH all the barriers put before me. I have dedicated my life’s mission to Changing the Culture for First Responders. I have been coaching professionally for the last over 7 years and have been focused on first responders for the last 4.
I have never let someone tell me I can’t stop me from doing what I wanted. Instead of following paths set before me, I have forged my own way because I don’t want to be hindered by the expectations of others.
I’m master of failing forward and never quitting.
I am the most resilient person I know; not because I wanted to be, but because I had to be.
I learned that resilience as a child, one of my biggest teachers being martial arts. I earned my 2nd degree black belt at 20 but competed in both national and international competitions for many years. I taught martial arts for over 10 years and ultimately developed my own self defense practice teaching women to defend themselves and build confidence.
I earned my B.S. in Criminal Justice and Psychology. Then went on to become a police officer. I worked for 3 agencies in different capacities, and focused my efforts on learning the profession and earning various certifications. I became a certified instructor at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy and a defensive tactics instructor along with several other certifications. 6 years into my career I injured my back while on the job and was told by doctors that full time patrol would not be an option anymore. To say this was devastating news would be an understatement. I faced an emotional roller coaster over the next couple of years as I reassessed my life, goals and purpose.
I rose back from the bottom of an emotional pit that threatened to swallow my very identity. For awhile I had trouble getting out of bed because I felt like my entire purpose in life had been stripped away from me. I had put so much into my identity as a police officer that I couldn’t even image myself as anything else. I spent 6 months couch ridden and unable to do anything other then be on my phone or laptop.
I began to study the coaching industry as I realized I had been coaching people successfully for most of my life. It was in my lowest moments that I quieted the voice in my head that told me I could not achieve my dreams and I went for it. I have been coaching hundreds of people from across the world since.
I am a speaker, coach, soon to be author and podcast host. If you are here reading my content because you are stuck, please go to my podcast to binge the over 125 episodes I have created for you there or go to my “free shit” tab where you will have access to some of my free courses.
